Default # signs where there shouldn't be....

It just means that the column is too narrow for the data to be
displayed.

I have a simple spreadsheet that I've been building on for the past couple
months, and I have a column with dates in it. It's formatted to do the date
as 14-Aug (so that I can enter "8/14" and it changes it for me), but over the
past few days, it's decided to display ##### instead of 14-Aug. When you
double click the darn thing, it shows the date as 8/14/2006 like it always
has, but everything I've tried won't make the pound signs go away when I'm
just viewing the document. Any ideas?

By the way, the document has 238 rows and counting, but I don't think the
length should effect it....
