    [SOLVED] Text appear in formula bar but not in cell

    Hi,
    With reference to the subject, I have tried Wrap text and Rows/Columns
    Autofit but nothing works. Also all the typed text does not appear in the
    printout.
    Please advise.

    Smile Try clearing format

    Try this.

    Go to Edit -- Clear -- Formats.

    I think this will solve the problem.

    If not mail me the sheet on [email protected]

    Usman,

    Is your font colour set to white?
    Is your number format set to ;;; (don't display anything)?
    Try changing your font colour to black, or the number format to "0.00" (for
    example)

    Hope this helps

    Pete

    Excel Help on "limits" or "specifications" reveals that Excel will allow
    32,767 characters to be entered in a cell.

    However, it goes on to state that "only 1024 characters will be visible or can
    be printed"

    To work around this limitation, stick a few ALT + ENTERs in at appropriate
    spots.

    The ALT + ENTER forces a line-feed and expands the 1024 limit.

    How far is not really known. Just experiment.

    .........From Dave Peterson..........

    I put this formula in A1:
    ="xxx"& REPT(REPT("asdf ",25)&CHAR(10),58)&"yyy"

    And adjusted the columnwidth, rowheight and font size and I got about 7300
    characters to print ok.

    .........End Dave P.................

    Failing that, use a Text Box to store the text.
