Alas, no. The text mostly has font color Auto. There's one word where I've
applied font color red, using the Font Color button on the toolbar.

In Excel 2003, I have a cell with text. I've applied character formatting to

When I now select the cell and hit F2 to edit it, I can see the formatting
that I applied. But then I then hit Enter, and it disappears again.

What's happening to my formatting? Why can't I see it?

Thanks.

Check to see if you have white as the font color. And I do hope it's
something that easy!
