Hi
Search for 'specifications' in Help:
It says '32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display in a cell; all 32,767 display
in the formula bar.'

But that note about 1024 displaying in a cell is not correct. You can see lots
more if you add alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every 80 or 100
characters.
