Hi

I am having trouble with entering all of my text into a cell. It does not
show everything. I am using Excel to write my daily activities at work and
need a lot of space! I'm using Excel 2000 on Windows 2000. Any advice would
be appreciated.

Thanks!

Take a look at "Specifications" in XL Help.

You'll find that XL cells can contain 32767 characters, of which the
first 1024 will be displayed in the cell or printed.

You can work around this limit if you manually enter linefeeds
(Alt-Enter) at least every 1024 characters.

According to help there are 32k of characters but you can bypass thgat by
using lots of al + enter and format cell as general
