Sorry but ...

... I think this is possibly making a bad situation worse.

I actually had a friend complain he couldn't fit his formula in the character limit of an individual cell. Maybe, like the Internet, Excel has become too easy to (ab)use. And powerpoint actually started that way. Meanwhile, 30 years on the amount of work you have to do to get a professional looking document out of MS Word continues to amaze me.
