# sign appearing in text boxes, Why?
Thank you, Worked like a charm.

It sounds like the text is not in a real textbox--just in a cell.
If that's right, try formatting the cell as General (instead of text).
If the text is long, you may find that it just "disappears" from the cell after
about 1000 characters. You can see more by adding alt-enters (to force a new
line within the cell) every 80-100 characters.

When I have a large text box (10 lines of wrapped text) excel shows a series
of # instead of the data. This only occurs when I am outside the cell, when
inside the cell, the text displays correctly. When viewing in Print Preview,
the # appear instead of the desired text.
Why does excel do this (v2003) and how can I get it to stop?
Thanks
