Hello ... I'm trying to make a schedule in excel and am having a problem
typing info at the bottom of the page. Only part of it is visibile. How can I type so that the entire sentence appears? Thanks in advance for your help |

Donna,
Text can spill into the next cell if it's empty. And the next, etc. Look for something (even a space character) in the cell that's stopping it. Also, make sure that the cell containing the text isn't set for wrap text (Format - Cells - Alignment). -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com Note: Top-posting has been the norm here. Some folks prefer bottom-posting. But if you bottom-post to a reply that's already top-posted, the thread gets messy.

Doesn't sound like that's your problem ... but in case it is, you can obviously split long text across more than one cell. :) |

xl95 was the last version that only held 255 characters.
xl97-xl2003 holds 32k--about 1k will show up in the worksheet unless the user does something special.
