No, sorry Dave. That does not seem to be the initial cause.
When the 4 digit number is typed into the cell, it is normal size.
When I change it to BOLD, the 4 numbers disappear and are
replaced by 3 number signs as follows. ###.

If I try to remove the unwanted ###'s, it will do so if I revert
to normal (not bold) font.which is then slightly larger than
normal.
The real problem is finding out why the ###'s appear in the first place.
Thank you Dave for trying to help.

I think you'll find that bolding the numbers does require a little larger
columnwidth. Well, it does for me.

If you widen column A just a bit, you may find that your problem goes
away.

Thank you for your reply Dave.
The number size change is not enough to need widening the cell.
My concern is why do the numbers change to a number sign
ie.### when I make them BOLD font.
I keep a Database for a club, and even when making the initial entry
in Bold font, the number I have in column A immediately changes
to ###'s.
Doing a following row with another new member's details, the problem
may not occur with the numerals remaining as they should.
It only happens with the entry in column A.
I hope this info might give you further ideas Dave.

I'd also change the columnwidth to accept the largest value, but you
could
format the cell, too:

Format|cells|Alignment tab
check "Shrink to fit"

But it might not look as good.

Not all rows have this problem - maybe only 2 in 5. This has only
recently
begun to happen.
Thanking some clever person in anticipation of some advice.
Bye from Crocketty
