Data in Excel not showing up after leaving that field
I've created at report that I continually need to add additional information
into. It's only showing 10 lines, and when I add information the information appears until I click out of that field. If I click back into the field, the data is still there. What can I do? Renee |

Data in Excel not showing up after leaving that field
Are you entering all this in a single cell?
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.
