I'm using WRAP TEXT but the data in the cell is truncated. I can see the
entire entry in the formula window, but not in the cell.

Try while holding "alt" and touching "Enter". This will place a hard return
in the cell and should allow you to see more of your text in the cell. You
will probibly want to enter a couple hundred characters then "alt" "enter".
You can use several of these if necessary. Play with it until you get it the
way you like it.

Add an Alt + Enter for a linefeed every 100 or so characters.

Excel's specs state you can enter 32767 characters in a cell but only 1024 will
be visible or can be printed.

Adding the linefeeds extends that 1024 limit.

Hi Noreen.
Try to avoid excessive efforts :-)

'============= by Norman Jones in italian NG
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Rng2 As Range
Dim rCell As Range
Dim iPos As Long
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim iCtr As Long
Dim sStr As String
Const iNuovaRiga = 100 '<<=== to change

Set Rng = Range("A1:A100") '<<=== to change
Set Rng2 = Intersect(Rng, Target)

If Not Rng2 Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo XIT
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each rCell In Rng2.Cells
With rCell
rCell.Value = Replace(rCell.Value, Chr(10), "")
j = Len(.Text)
For i = 1 To j - iNuovaRiga Step iNuovaRiga
iPos = iNuovaRiga * (1 + iCtr) + iCtr
.Formula = Left(.Text, iPos) _
