When using TEXT AREA in a view it can get unruly - if you could size the width of the view column it would clean it up.
Do you mean shorten text displayed in View? Please attach screen shot so I would understand better.

We are considering this as an enhancement via addition of a "Width in View" property on the field.
I am sold on it!!!
Will be implemented in next release. Please show some patience.
Available in 3.7.2 release.
