According to excel's help:

That 255 number limi you see in Format|column|width is:

The number that appears in the Standard column width box is the average number
of digits 0-9 of the standard font that fit in a cell.

You'll be able to see lots more that 255 I's in a single line of a cell with a
width of 255--I saw about 447 I's with an Arial 10 point font.

(Yeah, I have wayyyyyy too much time on my hands!)
