a cell should hold 32,000 characters if i am not mistaken. i have a
large spreadsheet that has codes, their use, description and the # of
times they have been 'hit'. most of the information fits in a cell
very easily but i have one description that is huge. i made the cell
255x409 which is the max and what happened was part of the information
showed and then the rest of the cell was blank. at that cell size
there was more than enough room for all the data but for some reason
it would not all show. i tried things like changing the alignment and
it is on wrap text. i tried selecting all the data and making it a
different smaller font. but nothing seems to work. its probably a
simple fix but...too complicated for me obviously. i have the excel
2003 bible but couldn't find my answer in there either. any and all
help is greatly appreciated.
