Default Text from Referenced cell truncated

Good afternoon Everyone, my problem is that text from a referenced cell in a
separate workbook is not showing up completely in a secondary workbook. I am
aware of the 1024 characters, but on some of these cells, only 200 characters
are showing and the rest of the data is not. If I have the origninal workbook
open, all the text will show. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

That's the way excel and windows work.

You're limited to 255 characters unless you open that sending workbook.
