Mike,

Actually, that limitation only apples when you copy an entire sheet. Any
code to copy and paste cells or cell ranges should take the whole cell, up
to the limit of a cell's capacity, 32K characters or so. For example:

Range("B2").Copy Range("B8")

Works without any string size limit.

I know this question has been asked before. If I am copying a cell that
has
more than 255 characters into a another cell, the copied section is
truncated.
Is there any way to insert into a macro program to copy a entire cell
contents into another cell without truncating.

thanks for any help
