I am having trouble displaying all the contents in the cell. It is som
lengthy information in the cell. I have made the row height as high a
it will go, but it still won't display all the information. I canno
make the column width any wider than I have it set, because then th
other columns will not fit on the page. Does anyone know how t
overcome this problem? :

1. Change the font size
2. Use "fit to page" when printing, you can then adjust column widt
accordingly


Hope it helps.

fit to page, it has fit to ? pages wide and ? pages long

That is what I meant by "fit to page".

What's the reason that it does not print all the contents? Is i
because of a word being too long?

I dont know why it wont print it. It wont even display it all for me o
my computer screen. But when I click on the Formula bar, all the word
are there. It is a lengthy paragraph, however. Does it just have
max of 17 lines it will display

What do you see in the cell (not the formula bar)?

If you see ####, then format the cell as General (not Text).

If your text just seems to dropoff in the middle of a sentence, you can add
alt-enters (every 80-100 characters) to force new lines within the cell.

Wow, that seemed to help, sorta. I put in hard returns and now all th
paragraph fits on my screen, but it wont print it out nor show it al
on print preview though. Any suggestions

Ok, nevermind. I got it to print. I moved the bottom line down som
more. I guess that is all it took! Thanks for all your help
everyone
