Default Text stops wrapping within the cell

I am working in excel 2003 and typing words into a cell. It can get rather
long (up to 250 words or more) and when I hit enter, some of the data towards
the end drop off and doesn't wrap. I did a test, setting it up in another
workbook and set the column to 255 characters long and then copied the data
down over and over again and all shows up, so it is not a matter of there not
being enough room in the cell, but it just not wrapping. So for instance if I
have a 1), 2), 3) 4) and 5) items in my cell, it will take 1 to 3 perfectly
fine, wrapping text etc and then 4 and 5 will lob off my data and only show
data to the column width of the cell (which is maybe 20). Why does it change
suddenly and what can I do about it if anything?
