What version of excel are you using?

xl95 had the limit of 255 (or 256???) characters per cell.

xl97 increased it to 32k.

But without help, xl will show only about 1000 characters.

If you want to see more, try peppering alt-enters to force new lines within the
cell.

Is it possible to increase the number of characters allowed in cells to over
255. If not is there another way to allow large entries into cells
