if we enter more than 255 characters in the cell, all the characters r
not seen even though the cell is wrapped
 
Hi
you have to manually enter some linebreaks (with ALT+ENTER)
 
How many characters are there?

For just a little over 255, you should be able to see them. Make sure you
autofit the rowheight.

(If you've ever manually set that row's height, then excel won't make it bigger
automatically until you autofit it.)

If your cell is merged, then the autofit won't work at all. You have to
manually adjust it or use a macro. And if you'd like that macro solution:

Jim Rech wrote a macro called AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight that you may like:

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

If you get over 1000, then the alt-enters work ok for me to see more characters.
