Default text being returned as #######

Text is being returned as ######## in a cell; however, when you click on the
cell it will actually display the text in a readable format. Please advise.

Most likely your column just isn't wide enough for the text in the format
you've chosen. Expanding the column widht should do the trick.

Format the cell as General.

String lengths between 256 and 1024 in cells formatted as Text cause this
problem.

I expanded the row and also have the 'wrap text' alignment on. Some cells
with text are just fine, while others are returnning the ######. Can you
think of anything else?

Thanks!
