XL00 and XL03 both allow 1024 characters to be displayed in a cell. Try
expanding your cell height or width. To view more, you'll have to insert
line breaks (OPT-ENTER) at least every 1024 characters.

Is there a way to view more than 255 characters in a cell? You can see

anything voer 255. Is there a way around this limitation??

Using Excel 2000 or 2003
