Excel 2007: remove text limitations from cell
I would like to type at least 500 characters in excel sheet cell. But when I do that it only lets me add 1 paragraph like 196 characters. When I add another paragraph, it gives me a message **
"Exceeded Text Limit"
**. How do I resolve this so I can add lot of text in the cell. I googled and tried different things and failed.
Please help !!!

There is a 32,767 character limit in Excel per cell when wrapping text.
You might be able to import it into Access as a Table, with a Memo field that can hold 65,000 characters.
A text box can also hold more, but if you're doing any calculations, this isn't practical.

@GANI: You don't, it's an excel limitation. You can TRUNCATE all text longer than 32767, if you can afford to loose that data.
