There is a limitation in Excel as far as wrap text and visible text is
concerned. In excels own help files the following can be found under Excel
specifications and limits:

Length of cell contents:-
32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display in a cell; all 32,767 display in the
formula bar.

So, display is limited to 1024 cells

We are typing text into a cell --- after 8 lines of text it will no longer
wrap -- is there a maximum number of lines excel will display?
