Default What is the maximum text size in a cell


Is this true for EXCEL 2000?

I have a file from a customer which currently has 1022 characters in
one particular cell and I have NOT been able to enter any additional
characters - I did try issuing ALT-ENTER but this does not seem to do
anything.

I have noticed that in EXCEL 2003 I CAN enter many more characters!

For my own edification, what dose the 32 KB limit give me if
operationally I can enter only 1 KB+ number of characters?

Thanks,

Chaim

The maximum is 32,767 characters to a cell.

However, as Frank points out, only 1024 will show or can be printed.

Increase the 1024 by using ALT + ENTER at appropriate spots.
