Default It is not a formula!


Can anyone tell me how I can display the value:
=[long value]
in Excel?

If I format the cell as text, I can put in "=1+1" and it displays as
such just fine. However, if I want to put more than 1023 characters
after the initial "=", I get a "Formula too long" error.

I am not specifying a formula. I just want to display a lot of text
that happens to start with an "=".

Is the only way around this to add a space before the equals sign?
Tell me there's a better way!
