I don't think that this will work when the user is typing in a cell.

Hi Dave:

I was thinking of using Steve Bullen's CheckKey technique to read keyboard
strokes as they were being entered:

Your macro won't work while the user is typing in a cell.

Maybe creating a userform and counting the characters would work for the OP,
though.

It is difficult because of fonts and font sizes. It is much easier to count
the characters as they are being typed and shift down once a limit has been
reached.

I have a template I have used for years but the problem is everytime you fill
the cell up you have to stop, go down to the next cell and continue. Is there
a way to make it auto enter to the next cell when the range you are typing in
is full?
