Default How can the number of words per cell in Excel be increased?

Joel

If you actually read the help on specs and limits you would find that you
can display 1024 characters............not 256.

The limit size of a cell is 32,736 characters although you can only display
up to 256 characters. You can see all the limits using the worksheet help
menu under

Hi there!
I am working on an Excel spread sheet with a lot of text information. There
appears to be maximum number of words/characters set for each cell, so that
parts of the text information are not displayed. Regardless if I increase the
cell size.
Any feedback welcome.
Many thanks
Joerg
