Default Enlarging text box

How do I enlarge the text box so I can add text that exceeds 255 characters?

Set the data type to Memo for that field. Note that you should not enter
data directly into a table, but should use a form instead.

You make it a memo field.

In design view of the table, change it to a memo data type. A text data
type will only give you 255 characters.
