Limited character display
I have 2 worksheets in separate workbooks that are basically identical. In
one I have text entries that display all my text (255). In the other the thext has been truncated to 255 for display. Why can't I get this limit removed?? |

You likely copied one sheet to the other. Excel truncates as you've seen.
Bug/oversight/whatever. Best bet would be to select the TEXT in the cell & paste it to the other. Maybe wait until Excel 2009! "Steve_zsli" wrote in message ...

Column width is limited to 255 characters. Do you have the cell format
alignment set to allow wrap? -- David Biddulph "Steve_zsli" wrote in message ... I have 2 worksheets in separate workbooks that are basically identical.

Actually I did not copy the sheet specifically because I know it trucates. I
copied the text directly. It is all there it simply does not display and I get ### with 256 characters. "Bob Umlas" wrote: You likely copied one sheet to the other. Excel truncates as you've seen.

I have the alignment set to wrap. The taxt is there but even with wrap I get
one line of ### to what ever the column width is set to. If I reduce the content to 255 characters then I get normal wrapped text. "David Biddulph" wrote: Column width is limited to 255 characters.

Try formatting the cell as General (or anything but Text).
