Text does not appear in cell, instead "#########..."
Typing text into cell, but when complete and click off cell, text does not
appear in cell. Instead a series of pound signs (#) appear in cell. Text appears in other cells, but this particular cell only shows pound signs when the cell is not selected. Please advise! Thank you. |

Carissa
Excel has a problem with cells that contain text with length between 255 and 1024 characters ans shows the ### signs. Format the cell(s) to General and should go away.
