The wrap text feature stops after 10 - 12 lines.
I'm trying have a large text field in an excel file. After about 10 - 12
lines the text no longer wraps. My Excel book said each cell holds about 32,000 characters, my text is less than 2,000 characters (with spaces). Any ideas? |

The Excel book is right......you can enter 32,767 characters in a cell.
What the book did not explain is that only 1024 or those characters can be seen or printed. Stick in an ALT + ENTER(carriage return) about every 100 characters and you can expand the 1024 limit by at least 4 or 5 times.
