I am having trouble displaying all the contents in the cell. It is some
lengthy information in the cell. I have made the row height as high as
it will go, but it still won't display all the information. I cannot
make the column width any wider than I have it set, because then the
other columns will not fit on the page. Does anyone know how to
overcome this problem? :)

1. Change the font size
2. Use "fit to page" when printing, you can then adjust column width
accordingly


Hope it helps.

I tried changing the font. It doesn't help. My computer does not have
fit to page, it has fit to ? pages wide and ? pages long.

That is what I meant by "fit to page".

Ok, the fit to page did not work. It still isnt printing all the
contents.

What's the reason that it does not print all the contents? Is it
because of a word being too long?

I dont know why it wont print it. It wont even display it all for me on
my computer screen. But when I click on the Formula bar, all the words
are there. It is a lengthy paragraph, however. Does it just have a
max of 17 lines it will display?

If it's a paragraph, can you use text box instead?

What do you see in the cell (not the formula bar)?

If you see ####, then format the cell as General (not Text).

If your text just seems to dropoff in the middle of a sentence, you can add
alt-enters (every 80-100 characters) to force new lines within the cell.

Wow, that seemed to help, sorta. I put in hard returns and now all the
paragraph fits on my screen, but it wont print it out nor show it all
on print preview though. Any suggestions?

Ok, nevermind. I got it to print. I moved the bottom line down some
more. I guess that is all it took! Thanks for all your help,
everyone!
