Default Why is Excel truncating my text to 255 characters?

I created a simply spreadsheet in Excel 2007 but am saving as a 5.0/95
workbook to be sure the recipient can open it. Everything was fine until I
emailed it, and it immediately truncated every cell to contain just 255
characters! Now I can't recover the missing data and I am going out of my
mind!
