You could widen the cell.

I created a calendar in Excel. One month on each sheet. On
one sheet, I merged several cells together inorder to type a
long statement. After I typed the statement and clicked on
another cell, my first merged cell turned into all
"#####". You can see the words in the tool bar, but on the
screen you can only see #####. The merged cell is formatted
for text, left alighned, Vertical (top), wrap text, merge
cell, and left-to-right text direction. What am I missing to
make this right?

I'm a bit puzzled because I did an experiment with text wider
than the cells. It was cut off where there was text in the
second column but otherwise spilled into it. I am using Excel
2002.
