    Definitive statement of Excel single cell capacity limitations

    Realize Excel is not designed to be a word document. Typically, a cell would hold a title or some short text far less then 255 characters. With that if you need far more than the cell limitation, you could either insert a Word document... Insert an object in your Excel spreadsheet. There's also the option to link to documents such as Word, PDF or website from within Excel *Wink

    At the end of the day, you're not going to overcome the cell limit, so I suggest you look for alternatives as suggested above.

    Good luck

    Definitive statement of Excel single cell capacity limitations

    Can someone here teach how to copy all text from 1996 California Proposition 218 - Wikipedia into a single cell so in future I can read the text in the top box? Please refer to my post#8. You can see after copying and pasting all the text, the last character it shows is "expres", after that a lot of characters not copied into the cell. Thanks.

    Maybe it is already written somewhere in some of your answers, but I could not figure out how to do it. Can you write in step by step form, e.g. if I want to bold a text in Excel, I would write 1. click [home] in top menu>2. use mouse to select text>3. click icon.
