Wrapped text disappering in Excel 2003

Guest

I'm having a problem with text wrapping in a single cell. When I open up a
new Excel workbook and type in a sentence that goes past the cell width, the
text appears on the screen spanning columns (as you would expect). When I
format the cell and choose the Wrap Text option, the text disappears. When I
highlight that cell the text displays in the formula bar.

Adding an Alt-Enter to the middle or the end of the sentence makes no
difference and changing the Text Alignment makes no difference.

I have sent the file to other co-workers and it (both are 2003 SP2) shows
the text
as expected.

We have reinstalled Office and this problem still occurs.

It sounds like the row needs to be taller to fit the text. Try the Format /
Row / Autofit menu option when the cell is selected and see if that fixes it
for you. (You can also click-and-drag or double-click between the row numbers
to change the row height)

HTH,

Tried that -- it's really strange! The cell looks blank, but when you celect
the cell the info is in the staus bar or if you do a print preview you are
able to see it.

Thanks for you help!
