Default limit on cell contents

In Excel Help, it says that the...Length of cell contents (text) is limited
to 32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display in a cell; all 32,767 display in the
formula bar.

I need to be able to print all contents in a cell. Is there a way to do
this by getting around this cell limitation?

Thank you!

Default limit on cell contents

If you put in hard character returns within the test string (alt+Enter)

you can get more then 1024 to display. In conjunction with that, you can
reduce the font size as well if you are running up against the maximum size
of the cell.
