Maybe you can shorten the desription using this custom php function?

if (!function_exists('substring_words')) {

function substring_words($str, $txt_len, $prefix = ' [...]') {

$words = explode(' ', $str);

$count = 0;

$new_str = '';

$abbr = '';

foreach ($words as $val) {

if ($count < $txt_len) {

$new_str .= $val.' ';

$count = $count + strlen($val);

}

}

$new_str = rtrim($new_str, ' ,.;:');

$new_str .= (strlen($str) > $txt_len) ? $prefix : '';

return $new_str;

}

}
