Default why do I get a series of pound signs in a cell?
Try changing the format of the cell from text to General.

The cell was filled with text that I want to keep. Then I copy / paste in
additional text, and all text turns to pound signs (#). Symbols go left to
right in a straight line and do not text wrap at all.
Why is this happening?
