How many characters could you see?

I've seen 15000 with a small font and a wide column and tall rowheight.

Maybe you'd be better served by using a textbox--either from the Drawing toolbar
or from the Control toolbox toolbar?

Or by using MSWord?

F2, I could only see the first half of the text again. Any other ideas? I
really appreciate your help.

Excel will allow 32767 characters to be entered in a cell.

But.....only 1024 of these will be visible or can be printed.

Is this your problem?

You can extend this 1024 limit by using a smaller font or adding an Alt + Enter
every 80-100 characters.

One row has a lot of data in one cell, but it cuts off the data in the middle
and doesn't show it on the spreadsheet or in print, except if I hit F2.
