I have my option set in the query analyzer for results as :
Tool->Options->Results->Minimum character per column : 8000

I have a text field called emp_complaints in my database in the tbl_emp table

If I have emp_complaints length greater varchar(8000) in the table.How can I view the complete field in query analyzer
and what is the maximum size that the text field can hold?

Text fields can take anything up to 2GB.

If you want to view the data in text fields, I've found Access to be very good at it. Just link in your tables and you should be good to go.

Because the data is stored in sql server database and to view it we are using sql analyzer.So when I query the records from the sql server database I can view only upto 8000 character.So just want to know whether if there is any other settings I need to view it.

I think you're out of luck.

You might want to try Access or even Enterprise Manager.

If I use the Enterprise Manager to open the table will I be able to view the complete text ?

There are lots of apps out there that let you view your data in SQL Server. I suggested Access (use a Data Project or ADP) because I find it very easy to use - more so than Query Analyser

No, EM is Worser then QA for viewing data, so dont rely on it.
