Cell character limit?
Is there a limit to the number of characters in a cell? If so, what is it?
I have an attorney who's trying to paste 23 paragraphs into a cell, so of course it is not all showing up, and I'm not sure what a good solution would be. Thanks for any help you can give me. |

I don't think there's a limit but, if there is, it's way above 23
paragraphs. Have you got some constraints applied to the cell size (like row height set to *exactly* something)? -- Enjoy, Tony "Sara" wrote in message ...

Select the row and from the table Properties confirm that the Row
does not have a pre-determined height. IF not, then please select the contents of the cell. And please provide a character count as well as a word count so I can attempt to re-produce the behavior. (Tools, WordCount) Also, please provide the dimensions of the table and the cell widths. As far as I have been able to test, there does not seem to be a limit to the number of characters. I have a single cell which contains 100 paragraphs and spans 255 pages. Thanks. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Note also that the table must not be wrapped. Wrapped tables ordinarily
can't exceed one page (Word 2003 does have an option to allow them to break across pages). -- Suzanne S.
