{$product->description_short}
Where is the software pulling this information from??

[rocky]

From the "Short description" field on the "1. Info." tab of the product editor.

Thanks for your response. Yes i know thats where the text is but as a default setting the text is put in a table which is currently about 600px wide which is much to big. I cant seem to find where i can change this width. Any ideas?

I can't find anywhere that the width of the short description is 600px. Are you using a third-party theme? Can you post a screenshot of what you mean? On the product page of the default theme, the width of div#short_description_box is 233px and on the product listings page, the width of the short description is 235px. You can change these in global.css.

Click the link for a screenshot of what is happening. How do i get to the circled table width?

It appears you have pasted a table with a fixed size into the "Short description" field on that product. You need to go to the "1. Info." tab and then click on the "HTML" button next the end of the second row of the TinyMCE editor to view the source code, then remove the width tag from the table, then click Update, then Save.
