Why can't I get more than 255 characters in one cell in Excel 07?
The Excel specifications state that you can have up to 32,767 characters in a
cell within Excel 2007. When I enter more than 255 characters (which I can do) and then move down to the next cell, the cell only shows the "#########" characters. Why can't I still see the text in its proper form? This is really an unacceptable way to present the information. Thanks for any tips that you can provide.

Give the cell a General format--or anything but Text.
The problem occurs with strings between 256 and 1024 characters. BigMan68 wrote: The Excel specifications state that you can have up to 32,767 characters in a cell within Excel 2007.
