cell not showing all the text entered?

[Tom]

I have to enter about 500 words in a cell, but the cell stops showing words
after roughly 150 words. I can still enter more words, they just don't show
in the cell. What can I do to get the cell to show all the text entered?

Thanks,
Tom

It is one of ythe limitations in Excel. I would put the text in a text box
sized to the cell or in a comment box attached to the cell

You may well that periodically throwing in an Alt Enter to give a new line
will enable excel to display your data.

Another possibility is that you are hitting the problem described at

in which case formatting the cell to General instead of Text may solve it
for you.
