First, I don't think that MSWorks is free--it may have been bundled with your pc
when you purchased the pc, but I'm sure the price of the software was buried
into the price of the pc.

Second, I'm sure that MS is aware of the behavior.

Just hit this - the free microsoft works spreadsheet doesnt have this limit,

seem like an intentional limit, do you know if MS is aware of it or if there
is a way to open a bug report?

If it's text, try changing the format of that cell to General.

Long text (255 characters to 1024 characters) in cells formatted as Text will
show as ####'s.

I have large blocks of text in some of my cells and they show up as
########## instead of the text I put there. If I click on the cell I see my
text above in the text edit box, but not on the spreadsheet.
