Text in formula bar is not displaying in cell
I am using Excel 2003. I am working in a merged cell with a row height of
375, which is less than the maximum of 409. The text in the cell gets cut off once I click off of it even though it displays in the formula bar and it also displays in the cell when I double-click inside the cell. There is plenty of space within the cell for all of the text, but it just doesn't display completely. I changed the font to a smaller size, and it still cuts off at the same spot. Can anyone help, please?? Thank you!! |

Excel Help on "limits" or "specifications" reveals that Excel will allow 32,767 characters to be entered in a cell. However, it goes on to state that "only 1024 characters will be visible or can be printed" To work around this limitation, stick a few ALT + ENTERs in at appropriate spots, about every 200 characters.. 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 or MS Word which is a word processing application, unlike Excel which is not.
