Modify form's text field display width

Is there a way to change the displayed width of text fields on the Add / Edit / Search pages?
I need to have text fields that are wider than the default which only shows about 17 characters.
I've tried modifying the CSS with something like this:
td.editshade_lb input {

width: 500px;

}
That makes the text fields wider but it also makes the table cell for the checkboxes (Advanced Search) page just as wide too.
I've tried looking through the online help as well as the PDF manual and searching here but can't find anything.
Thanks,

David

Double-click on field in Visual Editor and set field width on 'Edit as' tab.

That changes the number of characters that can be typed in the text input box but it does not change the visual width of the input box.

Size controls field size, Max lentgth controls number of characters that can be typed in
