Problem printing a large excel cell
How do I get an excel cell that exceeds 1,024 characters to print? I have
typed a paragraph that exceeds the 1,024 character display limit, but does not exceed the 32,767 length of cell contents limit. The page is set up with multiple columns, the content is typed into one cell, and then several cells over the rows and columns are merged and text is wrapped. Everything shows in the formula bar, but the display on the page is cut off and when I print it is cut off. I have tried printing to 2 different printers on our network. I'm using Excel 2003. I think my operating system is XP. |

Problem printing a large excel cell
If you add alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every 80-100
characters, you'll be able to see more characters. And if you widen the column, increase the rowheight and use a smaller font, you may be able to print (and see) what you want.

Problem printing a large excel cell
Thank you Dave. :) While I am not able to see all the characters the way I
would like to while looking at the worksheet page, I can see them in the formula bar. I did not want to change the row/column settings as we are working with a template. This did make it though so that everything I typed within that cell printed for me, and that's the main thing I was looking for. Thank you again. :) "Dave Peterson" wrote: If you add alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every 80-100 characters, you'll be able to see more characters.

Problem printing a large excel cell
I am also having the problem Jenny explained however, when I resize my font
to even a 7 then widen my box I can see a lot of space below the typed text content. When I print preview and also print, the content is still either cut off or prints right on the outline of the box. I have talked to our tech at school and she cannot figure this out either. We have to drage the bar pretty far to make the content print within the box.

Give us an example of what's in the cell, and how wide your column is. Are
you using merged cells? Regards, Fred. "Rebecca" wrote in message ...

Did you add those alt-enters every 80-100 characters?
