Hi
1024 characters is the maximum for a cell to display. If you want to extend this limit you may enter manual linebreaks with ALT+ENTER -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Saravanan wrote: If I keep typing all characters in a cell, how many characters can a cell contain ?

32,767 is the number of characters that can be entered in a cell.
However......only 1024 of these will display. The maximum width of a column is 255 characters, so word wrap must be enabled to see the full 1024. See Frank's post for a partial work-around using ALT + ENTER.
