That's the way excel and windows work.

You're limited to 255 characters unless you open that sending workbook.

Good afternoon Everyone, my problem is that text from a referenced cell in a
separate workbook is not showing up completely in a secondary workbook. I am
aware of the 1024 characters, but on some of these cells, only 200 characters
are showing and the rest of the data is not. If I have the origninal workbook
open, all the text will show. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
