How many characters are you trying to display in a cell??
How you tried word wrapping?

Add alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every 80-100 characters.

You'll be able to see more.

Using the alt-enters really did help, but do you know why that happened
in the first place and how to stop this problem in the future? Thanks
Again!

No real answers...

1. That's the way excel works.
2. Remember to add alt-enters to avoid the problem.

Patient: Doctor, doctor. It hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Don't do that!
