How to set number of characters within a cell in Excel 2003?
I want Excell 2003 to either limit me from putting a limited of character
within a cell. For example, I want only 10 characters within a cell, so either I could set it up beforehand and excell will not let me put more than 10 characters or it could count how many characters I have in the cell with a formula. |

Data validation is exactly what you want:
