TMG Field Limitations
For the most part, TMG does not limit you to the number of People, citations, images, etc. that you can use in a given Project, but some fields are limited in the amount of characters they are limited to. This chart will hopefully help new users (and old users too) to keep up with which field limit you to a certain number of characters. If a field is not listed, it either has no limitation, or users haven't found a limit yet. <G>
