Cell text not displaying (Excel 2003)

[Frank Discussion]

I'm having a problem with Excel. Some cell text is not being displayed.
However, the text does display in the formula box if you select one of the
"bad" cells. The
files that do this are on a network share and work fine on my other
computer. I've uninstalled and re-installed Office and the problem won't
go away. I also tried copying the files over to the computer in question and
that didn't help, either. If anybody has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks!

Try this:

Copy a cell that is displaying. Select the cells that are not displaying
then choose Edit, Paste Special and select formats.

White text on white background?

That was my first thought, followed by someone with the office prankster
creating a ;;; customs format. However, "worked fine on my other computer"
indicates something else is happening ... or the prankster is VBA savvy,
writing code so the formatting only happens on a single workstation..

And conditional formatting isn't applied?

Are you using multiple monitors?

Ps. Any chance that the alignment is vertical and the rowheight is too small?
