Transfering one cell of word to excel
 

when copying a cell witin a word table and pasting into excel, then
formatting the cell to wrap text, row column hieght, etc, when the cell is
deactivated, you can't see entire information. Is there a limit on the
characters? Is that the problem?

hi
yes there is a limit.
in xl help, type the word specifications. this will give you the specs and
limits of your version of excel.
length of text = 32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display in a cell; all 32,767
display in the formula bar

You can see a lot more than the documented 1000 characters (or so) if you add
alt-enters (to force a new line within the cell) every 80-100 characters.
