I concur with Gord Dibben's response. I did that just today. If you change
the cell to "General" format, all of the text will display.

I also recommend changing the cell to "Wrap Text" to allow you to keep the
cell at a limited width, but still able to see all the text.

Is there a limit on the number of characters that will properly display in an
Excel 2007 cell? When I enter text with more than 259 characters, the cell
displays all #####. This happens no matter how I size the cell or whether I
have text wrap turned off or on. Is there a way to change the size limit
that will display?
