entering data into cells
I have a spreadsheet. One cell is comments. The cell is formatted to wrap.
When I enter comments in one of these cells and then save or click in another cell, the one where I was typeing the comments presents itself with ####### rather than the text. Other comments cells on this spreadsheet appear fine and work fine. What is wrong with this particular cell? -- Thanks for any help you can give me. |

Probably the cell is formatted as Text.
