We have a very individualized report card with 2 or 3 different comment lengths per report card.  For example the English comment is longer than the Drama comment, etc.  Currently, EE only allows you to regulate comment length by school.  We are having a real hard time with teachers getting the shorter comments to the correct length.  We recently switched from a custom written program that visually showed them when they were going over.  Does anyone else have this same issue and how have you overcome it?
