You're asking the wrong question. The literal answer you've had already from
others: 'as many as you want'. But as you will find (and as Helmut as found)
you run into formatting problems long before you hit technical limits. If
you have a table cell with more content than fits on one page, then either
you shouldn't be using a table or you shouldn't be using Word.

What are you actually trying to do?

that's great. maybe I should re-phrase question to - how many
words/characters are visible in a table cell within Word?

You can constrain the cell size but the contents can go on beyond what is
visible.

If you have a Form Field inside your table cell (or anywhere else) you
can
limit the number of characters which can be typed into it.
