Default truncating pasted text after 250 characters

How would I go about cutting off text in a pasted column and keepin
only the first 250 characters of each cell? Validating the colum
doesn't truncate like I want and nobody is entering data directly int
the spreadsheet - it's all copy and pasting. I've tried using lef
functions, but I'm failing miserably. Can somebody please help she
some light on this problem. I'm guessing it's probably a 2-3 lin
answer and I'm overthinking for a solution. ;)

Thanks
