Excel - Change cell display limitations
To work around this limitation, stick a few ALT + ENTERs in at appropriate
spots, about every 100 characters..
The ALT + ENTER forces a line-feed and expands the 1024 limit.
How far is not really known. Just experiment.
.........From Dave Peterson..........
I put this formula in A1:
="xxx"& REPT(REPT("asdf ",25)&CHAR(10),58)&"yyy"
And adjusted the columnwidth, rowheight and font size and I got about 7300
characters to print ok.
.........End Dave P.................
Failing that, use a Text Box to store the text or MS Word which is a word
processing application, unlike Excel which is not.

Does anyone know if there is any way to expland the limitations set to
display the number of characters in a cell. I understand that the cell can
contain over 32,000 characters but it only displays barely over 1,000. Can
this be changed? Any assistance would be appreciated.
