Large amount of cell text
Hi, We have a case where we have received records from a Hotmail subpoena. Microsoft has put the records in an Excel spreadsheet with all emails for a six month period being contained in a single column and tens of thousands of rows. The problem I am having is that some of the cells that contain the text from the email messages are very long, and makes reading of the cells difficult. An attempt to save to or publish to a different format for easier reading causes truncation of the text in those particular cells. Word Wrap, Autofit, nor simply double-clicking on the cell margin doesn't provide a solution. Has anyone dealt with this problem or know of a solution? I am able to adjust each of these cells (not easily) but we have around 100,000 cells through which to sift. What to do? Thanks in advanced.

Chris, 1) Put a file name in the cell to the right of a cell with very long text 2) Select the cell with the long text 3) Run the macro below. The macro will export the text to a .prn file in the folder C:\Excel (which must already exist) with the file name that you entered in step 1. The file created can then be opened in Word. The macro can easily be modified to loop through all the cells, if you can come up with an acceptable naming convention. The macro should work on a cell with any amount of text. HTH, Bernie Excel MVP Sub ExportLongCellToPRN() Dim FName As String Dim WholeLine As String Dim FNum As Integer FName = "C:\Excel\" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value & ".prn" Application.ScreenUpdating = False On Error GoTo EndMacro: FNum = FreeFile Open FName For Output Access Write As #FNum Print #FNum, ActiveCell.Value EndMacro: On Error GoTo 0 Application.ScreenUpdating = True Close #FNum End Sub "Chris Feaster" <chris_feaster@fd.org> wrote in message news:0b3901c34ae0$17177990$a501280a@phx.gbl... > Hi, > > We have a case where we have received records from a > Hotmail subpoena.

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to write a formula to do the following. And, if it were possible, how would I write that formula?
