Excel 97 gridlines and borders

[Sue]

We're running into a 'new'phenomenon. When either borders
or Print Gridlines has been applied to the spreadsheet,
the text within the cells spills into the other rows.
We've tried the alignment, row height, borders off,
gridlines on, gridlines off borders on and cannot seem to
fix the problem.
Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?
Thanks much
Sue

Have you tried "wrap text" under alignment? Highlight the
columns in question & apply it. It will however widen
your rows dramatically. "Shrink to fit" under alignment
will make the text unreadable depending upon how long the
comments in the cells are. You may want to make the font
a bit smaller so the rows won't be too wide.
