I need to find a way displaying more than the standard 255? characters in a cell. Some cell entries can be upwards of 1000 characters. Would a userform be the answer and if so how? eg lets say cell a1 holds the data is it possible to display a userform when only this cell is activated, then the same form is displayed again with different data when cell a2 is activated - help !!!
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Would merging 4 cells with a colums width of 255 help, this would enable you to display more than 255 chars

You can display 1,024 characters in a cell. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q156881.

YOU CAN PUT 32K CHARS FOR CALCULATIONS BUT
EXCEL CAN DISPLAY ONLY 1024 CHARS IN A CELL.
