How to print all text in a cell? - It cuts off the last few lines.
 

When printing a matrix with long text write-ups - The last few lines of a
cell will be cut off. Is there a way to extend the parameters of a cell to
not do this? Or - are there other solutions?

How to print all text in a cell? - It cuts off the last few lines.
 

your question is not clear. perhaps you need to fix the print area. try
following
click on cell or cells with long text in it, right click Format
Cells... on Alignmen tab, check the option Wrap text. this will
adjust your text within a cell.
select the range you want to print, go to File menu Print Area Set
Print Area.
now take a look at print preview to what is going to print.

hope this would help.

How to print all text in a cell? - It cuts off the last few li
 

Sorry I wasn't clear. I've performed the below. The cell with 2 long
paragraphs in it is wrapped and I've widened the column. The last 10 lines
of the second paragraph are cut off at the end. The do not print either. It
is as if the cell has a limited number of characters it can display; however,
when I double click ont he cell the formula box contains all of the text?.?

Perhaps it quits appearing because you have reached the cell limit for
viewable/printable characters.

Excel Help on "limits" or "specifications" reveals that Excel will allow
32,767 characters to be entered in a cell.

However, it goes on to state that "only 1024 characters will be visible or can
be printed"

To work around this limitation, stick a few ALT + ENTERs in at appropriate
spots, about every 100 characters..

The ALT + ENTER forces a line-feed and expands the 1024 limit.

How far is not really known. Just experiment.

.........From Dave Peterson..........

I put this formula in A1:
="xxx"& REPT(REPT("asdf ",25)&CHAR(10),58)&"yyy"

And adjusted the columnwidth, rowheight and font size and I got about 7300
characters to print ok.

.........End Dave P.................

Failing that, use a Text Box to store the text or MS Word which is a word
processing application, unlike Excel which is not.
