Probably white font on white background........try changing the font color.

Hope this helps!

I copy from a web page, part of a document that has section headers, plain
text, hyperlink text.

I paste it into Excel--just a straight paste with the mouse. I'm not using
the "Edit | Special" because I want to preserve the hyperlinks.

It all seems to be there, except for the seciton headers.

The rows that they are on are there, but nothing is visible.

However, if I move my mouse into the cell and dbl click, the text appears.
Move it out of the cell and it's gone.

It's a neat trick, but not very useful if I don't know how to control it.

What I want is to have the headers show up, just like the rest of the
document.

(btw) it copies fine into Word.

Ideas?
