Default Pasted Text Truncated?

I'm trying to copy/paste some text from a Word document into a single Excel
cell in worksheet that was created by someone else.

The text has about 250 words/about 600 characters or so. There are about 5
major points, each point has about 4 bullet points underneath it. There's
about 25 lines of text. I've formatted the cell to wrap text, but the last
20 words or only display if I expand the width of the entire column - which
makes the other cells in that column much too wide - and the page won't
print as it should (a single page).

When I increase the length of the row it still doesn't show any more of the
text - which seems odd since it will show all of the text when I increase
the width of the column.

To keep the cell to a reasonable height and width, I've resorted to copying
the paragraph as an object and that works - but the downside is that I have
an outline surrounding the text.

Any ideas why this text won't paste and wrap properly? Suggestions?

Thanks.....AJ
