Cells not showing full text
What is the length of the text you enter, in number of characters?
Excel 2003 has a limit of 1024 characters that can be seen in a cell or
printed even though you can enter 32767 chars in that cell.
Adding the Alt + Enters increases that limit.
Not sure what the viewable limit is in Excel 2007

I use a spreadsheet to keep track of some tasks and sometimes the text gets a
bit long with all the description that is included, causing Excel not to show
the full content of the cell, not even if I drag the bottom margin of the
specific cell.
My work around has been to press Alt Enter to cause a line break (sometimes
at several points of a single task) and this way the text is shown complete.
Is there a way I can avoid this annoyance or is this some kind of limitation
of Excel?
