Default Merged cells/wrap text

Entering long amounts of text into merged cells and have chosen the wrap text
option. However part of my text is being cut off, even if I manually resize
the cell it still gets cut off - any idea why?

Default Merged cells/wrap text

Excel will only display the first 1024 characters that are entered in a cell,
although it actually stores up to 32,767 characters entered in the cell. If
you want to annotate your spreadsheet with a large block of text then it is
better to place a text box on the spreadsheet and use that.
