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!

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)

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.
