Thanks for the come back. Checked all that to no avail. I have tried new
works - new files - even old file that worked at one time, I'm lost. Thanks
for the effort

It seems that your cells are hidden (Format/Cells/Protection/Hidden is

I have XP, Office Professional 2003, recently my editing text has stop
showing in the formula bar, yet it does appear in the cells. If I add text
to the formula bar the new text is invisable while the old text stays visable
and all test shows in the cell. If I edit in the cell the text will appear
in the cell but not in the formula bar space.
I have tried the Tool, Options selections, no good. Help Please.....Leroy
