1024 Character limit on visible cells and printing

    Hi
    I have looked in many places for a solution to this problem. Any body have any ideas/tricks etc.? Would really appreciate any.


    There is an "appox" limit of 1024 characters that once exceeded, no matter what you do with Wrap and sizing of a cell means the subsequent characters are not visible in the cell (you can see them in the Edit box) and they do not print either.


    Thanks

    trick :


    link two (or more) cells to it


    1st : =left(a1,1024)
    2nd : =mid(a1,1024,1024)
    3rd : =mid(a1,2048,1024) etc etc


    then take snapshots of each cell and re-arrange them to fit via the camera utility :


    view
    toolbars
    customise
    commands
    tools.......... scrolldown the options


    click the camera icon and drag it to your toolbar, you should now have a camera sitting on your toolbar


    now highlight your cells in question and click the camera, this will take a snapshot of those cells


    now go to where you want to show them as an image, click and drag to max size


    if you don't like the format (opaque-ness, lines etc etc) right-click the new image and play around with the formats


    NB - may be a disadvantage, may be a bonus : this image is realtime : if your scource cells change, the image will also change, similar to a linked cell

    Does anyone know off the top of their head if this will be addressed in Excel 2007?


    I am doing a good deal of reporting with excel, and I am now hitting a bunch of the limitations!
