Default Is it possible to enter more than 255 characters in a cell

Is it possible to have more than 255 characters in a cell. I know that the
limit is 1024 but I want to be able to see and print all of the characters.

Thanks

Dajana, I think it will work if you manually enter some line breaks in the
text with ALT+Enter

The limit is 32767, actually.

But you'll only see about 1000 characters unless you add alt-enters (to force a
new line within the cell) every 80-100 characters.

(Well, xl95 does have a limit of 255 characters per cell, but xl97 increased it
to 32767.)
