Custom list 255 character limit too small

M

I need to create a custom list when sorting, but Vista (unlike XP) limits me
to 255 characters. I need to create a MUCH bigger list than this limit - can
I change the 255 limit and thus sort the names of the Bible Books correctly,
not alphabetically.

I doubt whether the OS version will affect this, nor whether any recent
version of Excel has a limit that low. Which version of *Excel* are you
using?
