  From within your database you have to modify the particular text type attribute for its "Max Length". So whatever text within your symbol, you have to find which text type controls it.
  
  An example is "Drawn by" (text type #20) by default it is set to 40 characters. You can modify this to any value you choose. If you look at your text type for "Higher Level Assignment" (text type #14) it is greyed out and set to 252 characters. This text type is not modifiable.
  
  Also, keep in mind that if you are modifying a text type make sure of where it is used. It may need to be modified for what you are working on currently but if it is used somewhere else it may make a mess of things. If it is used in multiple places then make a custom text type to be safe.
  
  Hope this helps
