Hi Dan, 1) Are you looking for http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters#hl.fragsize ?
2) Hundreds of words in a field should not be a problem for highlighting. But it sounds like this long field may contain content that corresponds to N different pages in a publication and you would like to inform the searcher which page the match was on, and not just that a match was somewhere in that big piece of text. One way to deal with that is to break your document into N smaller documents - one document for each page.
