How would I go About limiting the numbers of characters that can b
typed into a cell.

The idea behind it is to keep cells from "overflowing" if name type
into it happens to be bigger than the cell itself.

Yes, space is limited...

Thank you very much;

To the best of my knowledge, the sheet name (name on the tab) is limited to
31 or 32 characters. There is no other way to limit it other than write
code to change it to something shorter. Other than that, I don't know what
you are talking about.
