Possibly you have run up against a limitation of text length.

From Excel Help on "specifications" you will learn that you can enter 32767
characters in a cell but only 1024 of them will be visible or can be printed.

To work around this limitation, stick a few ALT + ENTERs in at appropriate
spots.

The ALT + ENTER forces a line-feed and expands the 1024 limit.

How far is not really known. Just experiment.

.........From Dave Peterson..........

I put this formula in A1:
="xxx"& REPT(REPT("asdf ",25)&CHAR(10),58)&"yyy"

And adjusted the columnwidth, rowheight and font size and I got about 7300
characters to print ok.

.........End Dave P.................

Failing that, use a Text Box to store the text.

Hello - My wrap text is checked, "general" allignment, and my row height is
fine, but part of the text in the cell wraps, except my 3rd paragraph -
doesn't wrap. I've tried everything.

Any suggestions?
Thanks, Julianne
