Excel cell limitations

[Buddha1]

I have text in a cell that I can see when I select the cell, however when I try to double click the cell so the text will auto fit it still only shows half of the text. Also when I print it only prints half of the text. Is there a way around this?

Strange...Does the cell have any wrapping on it at all? What happens when you manually drag the column width to be wider? What colour is the text in the cell?

When I try to drag the cell it doesn't change I can still only see half of the text. Half of the text is a blue color the rest is black.

How much text is there? Excel places a 255 character limit on text in a cell.
