Printing all text contents of Cell
 
I have an Excel template with the cell set to 'auto fit row height'.
I am able to enter in as much information as needed. The problem is
that when I print or view print preview, not all the information is
visible. I read that cells can only contain 255 characters, but about
1000 characters are visible and the remaining is not.

Can anyone tell me what the character limitations are or how I can get
these cells to printout the entire text?

Thanks

Look up excel specification in help, you can overcome the limit by applying
line breaks (alt + enter) on a regular basis

The cell can contain 32,767(not 255) characters but only about 1024 will show or
be printed.

See Peo's response for a workaround.
