Default cell won't let me put all of information into it.

Why does the cell stop letting me type info into it, yet it's visible when I
double click it, but when I go into another cell, half of my words disappear.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help!

Try adding alt-enters every 80-100 characters.

I figured it out...but even after I alt-enter, I still have to double clicl
the cell to get all of the info in it...yet when I go to another cell, some
of the info disappears.

Widen the column. Increase the rowheight. Decrease the font size.

These are all ways to see more in that cell.

Just curious--how many characters are in that cell?

A formula like: =len(a1) will return the number of characters.

(I've seen lots and lots of characters this way.)
