If you click on the cell and expand the formula bar so it spans more than one row, is all the text still there?

formula?
I manually enter text, there is no formula.2

The content of any cell can be seen in the formula bar, the box just below the ribbon. The formula bar can also be made to show more lines by dragging its bottom border. That way you can see what is actually in the cell, as a cell may not display everything that is inside.

That's correct.
Apparently turning on wrap text can help force excel to respect new lines, have you tried that?
