Default Is there a limit to the size of a cell containing text in Excel 20

I have a cell that contains a large quantity of text. It wraps correctly for
most of the cell, but then stops wrapping the text correctly after approx
1000 characters. This happens in more than one cell in the worksheet. As an
experiment I copied and pasted the cell into Word. The text is complete and
wrapped correctly in a word table cell.

I have suggested my client in the interim copy and paste the text into Word,
but they would prefer to just use Excel. Is this a limitation of Excel? Or
is this something I can fix.
