Default Expanding Capabilities of Wrap Text in a cell

Hi,

I think the problem is not the wrap text only works up to a certain number
of characters, Excel only displays a certain number of characters in a cell,
and you have found the way to beat that limit - Alt+Enter.

In Excel 2003:
Only 1,024 display in a cell; all 32,767 display in the formula bar
In 2007 you can see and display 32768 characters in a cell

If this is helpful, please click the Yes button

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

How can wrap text be used on a large amount of text in a cell? I can expand
the cell box for additional text with Alt+Enter, but wrap text seems to work
only up to a limited amount of characters within a cell and then it stops.
