Character limit in cell
Do you mean that you're automating this via code?
You can copy the sheet, then go back and get the contents (to preserve those
cells with long text):
Option Explicit
Sub testme01()
Dim fWks As Worksheet
Dim tWks As Worksheet
Set fWks = ActiveSheet
fWks.Copy _
after:=fWks
Set tWks = ActiveSheet 'newly created
fWks.Cells.Copy _
Destination:=tWks.Range("a1")
End Sub

I am using Excel 97. Please note that I inherited this file.
I have a worksheet with data that I want to copy to a "new" workbook.
Unfortunately, when I select the worksheet tab and select "move or copy" make
my other selections, I am warned that data in some cells exceeds the 255
character limit and the data at the end will be truncated.
The column in question stores comments (text). I know that cells have a
character limit. But, if that is the case why can text be entered and still
display everything that is entered; yet, Excel will cut it off if I used the
worksheet tab to make a new workbook? Excel suggests using the copy/paste
command to copy the data. This doesn't help to automate the process.
Any suggestions?
TIA
