To alter the character limit of an Announcements List web part (in Summary View), there is an attribute that must be set through SharePoint Designer on the page that contains the web part. Perform a search for the string “Limit Len=” on the page in question and alter the value to reflect the character limit you would like.
Note: The default character limit attribute is set to 250 characters.
