Excel Help on "limits" or "specifications" reveals that Excel will allow 32,767 characters to be entered in a cell. However, it goes on to state that "only 1024 characters will be visible or can be printed" To work around this limitation, stick a few ALT + ENTERs in at appropriate spots. The ALT + ENTER forces a line-feed and expands the 1024 limit. How far is not really known. Just experiment. .........From Dave Peterson.......... I put this formula in A1: ="xxx"& REPT(REPT("asdf ",25)&CHAR(10),58)&"yyy" And adjusted the columnwidth, rowheight and font size and I got about 7300 characters to print ok. .........End Dave P................. Failing that, use a Text Box to store the text. Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Sun, 23 Jan 2005 09:41:04 -0800, "rampam1" wrote: I can not print a cell if it has too many words? any suggestions? |
