possible to stop this?

Type a "space" in the cell just to the right of the one containing the
text..........then it will not overflow......

Cathy,

Or set the cell to wrap text (Format cells - Alignment)

This is the best answer I have found so far but if you put something in the field and then delete it later it will display in the next cell unless you put a space in there again. Is there a more permanent way to do this?
