I have a spreadsheet with columns containing names and addresses etc. with the last column containing a large amount of text. This text can be upward of 1000 characters I know it can be spread over various columns but that does not seem very proffesional to me. Any ideas. Or is it a job for MS Access with its memo field facility ?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Sounds like you should be doing this in Word. If you don't have calculations or other numeric data, then Word should handle it far better for you.

Likely, you can select all cells in Excel, copy, then paste right into a Word document and it should paste as a table. You may need/want to adjust some column widths, set the page setup to print landscape or even landscape legal.
