Or you could put a small collum beside the one with the text in it and have it use an =IF(LEN(A1)>8, "…") this would return an ... in the adjacent cell. A1 being what ever the origional cell address is and 8 or what ever being the total number of characters typically visible in the cell, adjust as you like.
