Default Excel character limitations

Hi

I'm trying to copy between 2 excel spreadsheets, when i do, the end column,
which contains more than 255 characters, has the end chopped off. How can i
increase the amount of characters that I can copy?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Make sure that both workbooks are open in the same session of excel.

If this doesn't help, then give some more info about how you're doing the
copy|paste.
