I've tried all of that. Yes, I see the text in the formula bar, but not in
the cell. It's wierd though, as I have loaded other spreadsheets I have
created and many, but not all of the cells, have text or numbers that are not
showing up, with or without the alt_enter format. It sounds like I have
installation or graphics problems with install of Excel. Thanks for your
thoughts.

Do you see the text in the formula bar?

You're gonna have to provide some details sometime.

Thanks, But this is not the problems guys. This is a new installation of
Excel on a new machine. I've been using Alt+Enter for years and for some
reason, the text does not show up, even if it's only a few characters
followed by Alt+Enter, then a few more characters. Please help.

Thanks Dave, I did not know that. And you're right, it is difficult to
guess sometimes, I just wish more people would follow up on their post
and then leave feedback for others to benefit.
