dropped text in cell
 

I have a report that I run out of my Administrative Information System for
our class schedule. The file has a number of fields, one of which is
description. Often times the description field can be as much as 300
characters long. When I download the file, the descriptions are cut off. If
I copy and paste the full description into the field and save, it cuts them
off again. Anybody have a clue why it is doing this?

Up through Excel 2003, the max length of a cell is 255 characters. I don't
know if Excel 2007 has adjusted this limitation.

Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
