Default cell shows all the data, click out of it, end of data disappears

i have a large amount of text in an Excel cell and it all shows but when i
click outside that cell, the last part disappears (it truncates in the middle
of a word). i have cells larger in other places in the worksheet. i tried
dragging down the cell size, merging the cells, and setting the size on that
row larger. same results each time. please help. Linda

If you have lots of text in the cell (more than a 1000 characters???), you can
add alt-enters ever 80-100 characters (to force new lines within the cell).

You may have to adjust the rowheight to see the text, though.
