True, but that's a 'dance' ;-)

But if you add alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every
80-100
characters, then you'll be able to see lots more characters than 1024 in
that
cell.

Excel has a limit of 1024 characters visible in a cell, all 32k (total
limit) show in the formula bar

See help (Excel limits and specifications)

I can see all the words in the cell in the formula bar when the cell is
selected. When it's not, I can's see them in the cell, no matter how
big I
physically make the cell. I can make the cell so big that there is a
lot
of
white space at the end of the words, but the words still cut off.

Any ideas?
