format cells to display 20 long sentences in a single cell
 
Even if i format the cell (in exel sheet) as wrap text, the cell does not
display long sentences completly. It only displays a part of the sentence.
This happens after entering say 20 or more lines.

If you add alt-enters every 80-100 characters to force new lines within the
cell, you'll see lots more characters.
