Default Trouble with 255 characters max in a cell

Hi,

I'm having an issue with moving/copying sheets into a new worksheet as some
of the cells contain more that 255 characters.

Is there anyway around this problem?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Moving shouldn't cause any trouble. But copying will.

I use multiple steps.

Copy the sheet
Copy the cells on the original sheet
paste on the new sheet

Same thing in code, too.
