Yes, there is a limit on visible characters in a cell.

You can enter 32767 chars but only 1024 will be visible or printed.

See Dave P's post for workaround.

I've been using Excel many years actually since it came out.. But I cannot
beleive I have never seen this simple issue.
I'm typing along in a cell, the format is a simple General type. Then some
of the data I typed is cut off like it's truncated. I extend the cell up or
down still truncated. If I make the font real small my data appears, but I
need it bigger. Is there some kind of limit to the number of bits per cell.
ALso, I have already set the Wrap text.

Suggestions???
