Can I use a header or footer more than 255 characters in Excel?

[Jin Qingfeng]

What can I do if I need to insert more than 255 characters in a header or
footer in Excel 2003?
And can I make some grid lines for a header or footer in Excel 2003?
Thank you for your help!

The combined length of all third headers or footers (left, center and right)
may not exceed 255 and you cannot change it. The only 'workaround' I can
think of is to create them right in the worksheet itself.
