Excel -- Wrapped text disappears

[philogicmail]

A user here is having the same problem as described in a previous topic
(http://groups.google.com/group/micr...50c3e69981d/dc8adb6c01616d70#dc8adb6c01616d70).

Windows XP Pro, SP2
Office 2003 Pro, SP2
New machine with plenty of resources.

Was originally working properly, then mysteriously developed a strange
symptom:
Any text that is in an Excel cell in which the "wrap text" option has
been selected no longer shows up. I have checked it with 1 character,
1 word, and multiple lines of text. It has been repeated with
spreadsheets created on the user's machine, as well as those created on
others. Whether the file exists locally on the HDD, on the network, or
as an email attachment -- the result is the same. I had the user email
me copies of some of the files he was working with, and they workied
flawlessly on my PC (same software), as well as on a machine that is
virtually identical to the user's.

I tried a Detect and Repair -- no help.
I did a full uninstall, restart, cleanup & re-install (plus SP2 and
updates). The problem went away, but returned a week later.

Any help at all would be very much appreciated.
