Excel Help on "limits" or "specifications" reveals that Excel will allow 32,767 characters to be entered in a cell.

However, it goes on to state that "only 1024 characters will be visible or can

be printed"

To work around this limitation, stick a few ALT + ENTERs in at appropriate

spots, about every 200 characters..

The ALT + ENTER forces a line-feed and expands the 1024 limit.

Write as much as you want but when you go to a different cell the writing is hidden. Double click in between the two letters where the writing is to make the cell big enough to see all the writing

A <|> B

Looks something similar to this
