 * I have the following textarea:
 * `[textarea leftout 100x10]`
 * But it seems to restrict to only 50 columns. Is something else needed to show
   the full 100 columns?

 * The “size” you use in the Form section of the CF7 refers to the size of the standard
   HTML size attribute which may or may not control overall element size.
 * Nowadays the overall size of the form elements is generally controlled by the
   CSS in your current WordPress theme rather than the “size” you use in the Form
   section of the CF7.
    ​​ If you want to control the width of fields, you can do
   it by editing the CSS stylesheet in your theme. For details, see [Styling Contact Form](http://contactform7.com/styling-contact-form/).
