Default excel cell content cuts off when merged to word

I understand there is a 255 character limit to content of an excel cell that
will merge into a word document. Is there a solution around this limitation?

You want to turn on Wrap in the cell, use of Alt+Enter
for a new line will automatically turn on Wrapped lines
Format, cells, alignment, Wrap

Specification Limits (in HELP)
Column width: 255
Length of contents
32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display in a cell; all 32,767 display in the formula bar.

If you hit Alt+Enter occassionally, you can exceed the 1024 limit of display in a cell.
so this is one specification limit that doesn't really seem to be a specification limit.

Jim Rech has a macro to fix row height for wrapped lines
