Text Field size

Is there any way to increase a text type field size to more then 255
characters?
I tried Memo type field but i'm having difficulty exporting all text data
entered into this field (for respective records) to an excel spreadsheet.
Only a portion of text gets exported successfully into the excel
spreadsheet. I don't know why.

Some versions of Excel have a 255 character limit.
