Hi,

the answer is version dependent:

2003:
Cells can contain 1024 characters in a formula
Cells can contain 32,767 text characters but only the first 1023 will be
visible (unless you use Alt Enter to force line breaks)

2007:
Cells can contain 8192 characters in formulas
Cells can contain 32,767 text characters in cells and all can be seen and
printed without needing to use Alt Enter.

If this helps, please click the Yes button,

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

When viewing a spreadsheet and I click on a cell, all text in the cell shows
up in the box at the top of the screen but all of the text doesn't show up on
the screen if I am not in that particular cell? How can I make all text show
up in all cells?
