Default Wrap Text Not Visible

Have wrap text turned on in a cell but can't seem to get the last line of
what I've written to show up in the cell no matter how much I expand the
cell. It's visible in the formula bar but not in the cell itself.

Thanks,
Randy

How large is your text? Only 1,024 display in a cell; up to 32,767 display
in the formula bar.

At some point in the text prior to it not being visible press Alt-Enter

If you add alt-enters to force new lines within the cell, then you can see lots
more than the documented 1024 characters.

You've got to hang around the excel newsgroups more often <bg. This question
is asked lots of times per week!
