Long Customer Names

I'm a QB Desktop Pro newbie. I'm in the process of converting my existing accounting records to QB and have discovered that the Customer fields in QB are way, way too small for the names of about 75% of my customers eg: co-ownerships of 3 or more companies. Is there anyway to make the field boxes bigger? In my case, they would need to hold 4x or 5x as many characters as they do now. BTW: Ive addes the extra field boxes on the Additional Information tab and even those are way too small for the names of any one of the 75% of customers I'm talking about.
