John-
According to the documentation and Bruce M's book, there is no limit. I've
never hit a limit while putting some pretty large (three page) narratives in
a text field. Practically speaking, I would guess that one will take a
performance hit due to fragmentation when storing big chunks of data
comingled with smaller chunks.
