*checks* I am using Excel 2003.

You have to double-click the cell, as if you were going to edit it.

By the way, when you use shrink to fit, you can just click on the cell to
see the text at normal size, and it will go back to normal when you
de-select
it. It's my method of choice; keeps everything nice and neat.

It doesn't do that for me with Excel 2003. Which version works that way?
