The default for maximum number of characters in a single Excel cell is 1024.
If you enter more than that all you see is astricks (********). If you
select the cell where the astericks show, you can read the information in the
formula bar above. However, it does not print out well.
I am importing web data from a Web Based Application into Excel and require
a column for comments which normally falls below the default maximum. On
those occassions it does not, it is a pain.
I have run into this problem for quite a while and have finally decided to
put it out there for the more advanced users of Excel. Any light you could
shed on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
