Thanks for your answer.

I saw the replies to my original post, but they did not fix the problem.

You had a couple of replies to your original post.

See help on "specifications" to see that it is a limitation.

Alt + Enter is the only way to increase the 1024 visible limit although if
you were to use small enough font you can increase some more.

I had already asked this, but the thread fell into oblivion, so here I go
again:

I use a spreadsheet to keep track of some tasks and sometimes the text gets a
bit long with all the description that is included, causing Excel not to show
the full content of the cell, even though cells are formated to "Wrap Text"
and I had dragged the bottom margin of the specific cell farther down.

My work around has been to press Alt Enter to cause a line break (sometimes
at several points of a single task) and this way the text is shown complete.

Is there a way I can avoid this annoyance or is this some kind of limitation
of Excel?
