Default Reading "hidden" text . . .

The cell contains a formula. That formula pulls the data into the cell if
criteria is met. So what shows is the formula, not the text.

Cell sizes can't be changed. This sheet just barely prints out a page width

One cell pulls text fromn another sheet. What I need is for the text to
show when I either huvver cursor over the cell, or when I click on the cell.

Cell width is about 1/2 as wide as I'd need for all text to show. So if the
cell has . . . "This feature complies the spec no . . . . " what I "see" is
. . .

|This feature compli|

The rest of the text is "under" the next column.

My preference would be that the text show up when I place cursor over the
cell.

Comments welcome, and appreciated.
