Excel will display about 1000 characters in the cell--unless you do something to
help.

Put alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every 80-100 characters.

After I've done this, I could see way more than the documented 1000 characters
and when I did a print preview, I could see lots of text--more than 1500
characters.

As an alternative, you could add a textbox from either the Drawing toolbar or
from the Control Toolbox toolbar and plop your text into that.
