Wrap text "disappears"
 
Excel 2003 sp3
When we enter text into a cell that is larger than the cell and set the
formating of the cell to "wrap text", the text disappears from the cell.

If you click into the cell, you can see the text in the FX bar but not in
the cell. If you uncheck "wrap text", the text is visible in the cell.

Are you using multiple monitors?

Thanks. Yes, we use multiple monitors. We will work on this angle but since
the person with the issue is in a remote office, it will be a little
challenging. I will post a follow up.

The dual monitors was the issue. We restarted the machine without the 2nd
connection to force everything to the primary. Then, we connected the 2nd
monitor as a windows extension and Excel issue was resolved.
However, the user wants the LCD as primary and laptop as secondary. That
setup has been done and Excel still worked but we will wait until it occurs
again.

Thanks, again.
