In cell A1 I have a long text ( 253 characters). Now I do not want the
text to extend into column I so I select A1:H1, choose Edit, Fill, Justify
when I get the message: Text will extend belov selected range. When clicking
OK the text will be split into A1, A2 and A3 and in each of the rows 1, 2
and 3 extend up to and including column H. However, and that's my problem,
all characters after number 253 seems to be cut off.

Any suggestions?
