Lines longer than 255 characters will be wrapped to the next line in the same cell, regardless if there is space left in the cell for more text.

## STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Publisher 98 for Windows.
