Default Help with Characters limiting

Hello -

My company uses an estimate form that has several worksheets, and in one of
them a description is carried over onto a proposal template sheet. I use
Excel 2003, and it appears to be limiting the number of character carried
over to 255. It all turns into pound signs.

I've tried directly cutting and pasting the content over instead (which I
hoped would bring me back up to the standard 1024 character limit instead of
255), but for some reason that isn't working either. It displays on the first
sheet nicely, and not at all on the second. I'm beginning to think I'm losing
my mind, but no one else at the company can fix it either. Is there some,
silly, basic formatting thing I'm missing?
