entering data into cells

Guest

I have a spreadsheet. One cell is comments. The cell is formatted to wrap.
When I enter comments in one of these cells and then save or click in another
cell, the one where I was typeing the comments presents itself with #######
rather than the text. Other comments cells on this spreadsheet appear fine
and work fine. What is wrong with this particular cell?

Probably the cell is formatted as Text.

Re-format to General.

Excel has problems with Text-formatted cells when character count is 255 to 1024
