Maybe your worksheet is filtered (hiding some rows, showing others):

Data|Filter|ShowAll.

Or maybe you just have hidden rows (manually hidden).

Ctrl-a (twice in xl2003)
format|row|Unhide

When using the "find" option I can see the text is still there, but I've lost
whole lines while entering data in Excel and now the lines are numbered 1, 2,
3, 6, 7 etcl. There are 3 lines missing. How do I get the back? And why
are they disappearing?
