use Alt+Enter after each end of line. Caveat: excel limit and
specifications shows this line:

Length of cell contents (text) 32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display
in a cell; all 32,767 display in the formula bar

Adding those alt-enters every 80-100 characters breaks the 1024 characters
displayed in the cell specification. You'll be able to see lots more.
