 * Thanks to buzztone for your very helpful advice here, particularly the Chrome
   Dev Tools to understand the CSS used. I have tried a number of variations (referring
   to the codes shown using Chrome Dev Tools) in the theme’s Additional CSS section
   without success.
 * As the Contact Form 7 is used within Visual Composer, I have also tried inserting
   the form outside the Visual Composer (in case that was controlling the settings)
   as well as modifying the CSS in the [Visual Composer Row](http://www.wpexplorer.com/contact-form-7-free-wordpress-plugin/).
 * I have also installed and used Contact Form 7 Skins, again with no success.
 * Below are versions of code I have tried, as well as many others on these lines,
   alongside buzztone’s suggestion above:
 * Referencing theme’s stylesheet:
 * ‘.wpcf7 textarea.wpcf7-form-control {
    width: 100%; }’
 * Using CSS shown using Chrome Dev Tools:
 * ‘.wpcf7-form-control .wpcf7-textarea {
    width: 100%; }’
 * Other Additional CSS I have added in my theme has worked, so I wonder whether
   it is being over ridden by the Visual Composer?
 * Any more ideas would be gratefully received!
