The subject above says it all: Since switching to Excel
2003, text that USED to be displayed correctly (via
the 'shrink to fit' in cell formatting)now doesn't appear
to get shrunk at all. Rather, it bleeds over into the next
column. Duuno how it got broken, but it would sure be nice
if it could be fixed!
 
Did you try re-formatting the selection? Sometimes that will fix the
conversion problem.
 
As a matter of fact, YES, SEVERAL times. This is VERY
peculiar behavior. The columns on either side of it are
formatted as numbers, and the column that is not shrinking
to fit is formatted as straight text.
Just for the heck of it, I reformatted the problem area as
GENERAL instead of TEXT. However, it made no difference.

Any other ideas? If anybody wants to contact me directly,

Thanks!
