Wrapped Text Not Visible - Usual solutions don't work

[Guest]

For some reason, my Excel 2003 will not display wrapped text. It is not
caused by the autofit being off or the row height being too small. It is
also not the bottom only that is not visible. The entire text is not visible
for any cell with wrap text on.

For example, if I type "Test Test Test" in a cell of width not sufficient
for all to be displayed, then change the format for this cell by checking
wrap text, the text does not appear in the cell, although it does appear in
the function bar.

Any suggestions?

Did you try to adjust the rowheight?

I think I've read posts from others who use multiple monitors that this has
happened to them. Do you use multiple monitors?

Can you remove one to test it?

I don't have any other guesses. I don't use multiple monitors, so it's
difficult for me to test <bg>.

But you may want to search google looking for posts like yours.

Dave,

Thank you very much!

I found the solution on the first hit of the first Google search you listed.
I have searched Google ealier but probably didn't search the right terms.

The sucssesful solution was posted by Techie68 on the Google Groups topic
microsoft.public.excel.misc. The URL is
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mi...cdb599f36f0?lnk=st&q=&rnum=1#37507cdb599f36f0.

Thanks again. I hope others find this useful. My Excel word wrapping works
once again.
