Default Wrap text, Merge cells

I have merged 2 cells in a column, wrapped the text.
There are actually 20 rows of data ( sentences) in one cell
After the 18th row within that merged cell the data is no longer visible.
Is there a limit to how high a cell can be ( mine is at 350, but can be made
a whole lot large, not that the data is visible though) or how many "rows"
wihin a merged and wrapped cell are possible?

Stumped in IN.
thanks for any info on this subject

A row's height (with or without merged cells) cannot exceed 409. Also, a
cell can display only about 1000 characters even though it can hold over
32000.

If you add alt-enters every 80-100 characters, you'll be able to see more than
that documented 1000 characters.

You may have to adjust the rowheight manually (or even change the font size) to
see more.
