Formating problems
I am using Windows XP Home. I have used excel for over 20 years. I am not an
expert, but I am pretty proficient with it for what I need. Never have had problems until today. I am trying to place classmate reunion information in a spread sheet ( please don't ask why). I placed the first name in col A line 1, last name in column B line 1 and address / phone numbes in column C, line 1. I am then placing the personal information in the cell C2. I highlight C1 and C2, go to format, and then select that the text should be to the left and at the top, and that the text should wrap. The problem is sometimes it wraps, sometimes it doesnt; sometimes it wraps but only shows the first 14 lines of the text. If I click once on the cell all of the text shows in a window at the top of Excel, but not all of it shows in the cell c2; If I double click the cell, all of the text shows; if I then move the cursor to another cell, the text below line 14 disappears. Too esoteric? A friend suggested that maybe the excel file is corrupt, and that I should cut and paste the info from it, into an new excel spreadsheet. |
