Default Info cut off in a cell

Hi, I can't figure out how to keep all of the info typed into a cell from
being cut off. The cell does have the wrap text on. I can get about 14
lines within the cell when the last line stops wrapping and just goes off to
the right.

Any suggestion???

Dave

The limit for # of character in a cell is 255. Perhaps you exceeded the limit

That hasn't been the limit for over a decade.

Excel says that you can have 32k characters in a cell but only 1k will appear in
the worksheet.

But you can exceed that limit by adding alt-enters (to force new lines within
the cell) every 80-100 characters.
