Default Problem printing a large excel cell

If you add alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every 80-100
characters, you'll be able to see more characters.

And if you widen the column, increase the rowheight and use a smaller font, you
may be able to print (and see) what you want.

How do I get an excel cell that exceeds 1,024 characters to print? I have
typed a paragraph that exceeds the 1,024 character display limit, but does
not exceed the 32,767 length of cell contents limit. The page is set up with
multiple columns, the content is typed into one cell, and then several cells
over the rows and columns are merged and text is wrapped. Everything shows
in the formula bar, but the display on the page is cut off and when I print
it is cut off. I have tried printing to 2 different printers on our network.
I'm using Excel 2003. I think my operating system is XP.
