Default cell max characters


Hi,

is there such a thing in excel as a maximum characters per cell?

The reason I ask is that i try to open a Tab delimited text file in
excel and one of the columns is a product description. For some odd
reason the cell does not show all the charachters that it should have.

Why do I know? Well if I open this same file in a text editor, the
section of that cell shows all the text that it should have.

Anyone knows a work around or maybe this is a limitation of Excel?
