When typing text in a cell and you get to the bottom of the page the text is
lost and does not split and go onto next page. Is there a way to do this?

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, about every 200 characters..
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 or MS Word which is a word
processing application, unlike Excel which is not.
