How do I make a lot of text fit into one cell?
 
I need to write a lot of information in one particular cell, I have wrapped
text so that it reads downwards, and this has worked thus far, however after
a certain point, no more text appears in the cell, even though it appears
when I click on the formula bar. I have tried autofit which does not remedy
the situation. I need to be able to see all of the text when it has printed
out.

To get all the text to appear in the cell as well as the formula bar, you
need to insert a hard return (ALT-ENTER) every so often.

There is an actual limit to what excel will display, even if you wrap
it, insert a hard return, etc. you need to use an additional cell.
