Is it possible to limit the lines of text displayed in a Sharepoint list view?

I want to only show the first two lines of the "Solution" field, as otherwise with a long solution, it becomes very hard to browse the list. Is this possible? I've looked at the list and view options, and nothing is apparent.

Cannot see image, corporate blockage, but for a text column this will work.

Create a new column and make it calculated, make the formula =left("your column",2000) then use the calculated column in your views.
