Whilst there is the method of inserting ctrl/enter characters to reflect
more text you will find the odd user who will demand that 'more'
characters are displayed.

This, of course, also applies to printing.

One method is to insert 31 following rows as helper rows, and a formula
of
=mid(A1,1024,1024)
=mid(A1,2048,1024)
=mid(A1,3072,1024)
etc etc

This will display the full 32,768 characters permitted in a cell, and
will print the same.

It is messy, and I would recommend the use of a Word processor for
volume text processing.

I'm converting a paper form to an excel version. I need one cell for

user to enter a narrative. I want the printed copy to show the full
entry.
I think 2000 to 2500 characters is probably long enough for most
users.
The problem I'm running into is text that stops wrapping after about a
1000
characters.
Thanks for any help.
