Basically, nothing happens! The cursor does NOT move at all, and there
is a "BEEP".

For "debugging" purposes I set a LEN function on this cell in another
empty cell and the size remains the same/

Thanks,

What happens when your customer tries to enter the 1023rd character?

Maybe he or she is just not seeing them.

Is this true for EXCEL 2000?

I have a file from a customer which currently has 1022 characters in
one particular cell and I have NOT been able to enter any additional
characters - I did try issuing ALT-ENTER but this does not seem to do
anything.

I have noticed that in EXCEL 2003 I CAN enter many more characters!

For my own edification, what dose the 32 KB limit give me if
operationally I can enter only 1 KB+ number of characters?

Thanks,

Chaim

The maximum is 32,767 characters to a cell.

However, as Frank points out, only 1024 will show or can be printed.

Increase the 1024 by using ALT + ENTER at appropriate spots.
