I think found the solution!!

Erasing all of the temp files fixed the problem. At least that is what fixed
it this last time.... hope this is the final solution to this problem.

I have Excel 2003 and Win XP both SP2

Sometimes after a crash in excel or when I turn down the PC and on again,
the text doesn't get displayed in Excel in the text boxs or when wrapping
text in a cell, it is there but no matter the letter size or cell/box size, I
can't see it.

If I change the text orientation to a degree other than 0° and 90°, all the
letters appear one over the other on the lower left corner. I have tried
"Help\detect and repair", reinstall and repair from the "control panel\add
remove programs" and turning the PC off and on, after doing all of this,
sometimes several times, it goes back to work normally, but I haven't been
able to identify which of the things I did or order of performing them makes
it work, but it's annoying.

If anyone can help with this I'll be forever thankful
