Default Text length limit

I have a text box in a chart where I want to display the contents of a
certain cell. The particular cell has ~300 characters. When I set up the
text box to be '=' to the cell, the text box displays a 255 character
truncated version of what is in the cell. Is there any way to increase the
character limit?

Default Text length limit

Afraid you're stuck with that 255 limit.

One workaround, perhaps, would be an event macro (when the cell contents
change) to add the text to the textbox in chunks of less than 255 characters
at a time (won't work with a Title, must be a Textbox).

Regards,
