When typing a lengthy statement in a cell I get ######. Is there a character
limitation in Excel 2007 and is there a work around to this?

Thank you

Bill
 
Try formatting the cell as General.

Excel has a display problem with strings between 255 and 1024 characters in
cells formatted as text.
 
Try to make the cell/column wider and/or try to format it as "Wrapping text"
