32,767 characters.
But unless you do something special, you might not be able to see more than about 1000 characters. If you add alt-enters every 80-100 characters and adjust the rowheight, you'll see much, much more than the 1000 characters documented in xl's help. roygray wrote: -- Dave Peterson |

No more than you can enter into a single cell.
Reason..........if you merge 14 cells into one, you have one big cell with the same properties as any single cell. See Dave's post for workaround. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 11 Sep 2006 04:00:02 -0700, roygray wrote: |

I tried Dave's workaround, but it isn't working for me. Is there anything
else I can do. We use EXCEL spreadsheets to track absenteeism and there are usually many many comments to add. Any suggestions for me! HELP! -- Thanks for any help you can give me.

What happens when you add alt-enters every 80-100 characters and then adjust the
rowheight manually? Gerrie wrote: I tried Dave's workaround, but it isn't working for me. Is there anything else I can do.

I get white space at the top of the cell and the rest of the text just moves
down in the cell without giving me the last few lines of text just as before the alt-enters. -- Thanks for any help you can give me.

But you can still see the value in the formula bar?
Are you using multiple monitors? http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...09488256478b2d or http://snipurl.com/1crbf Mike Brambley posts a link to a suggestion that worked for him.
