Excel 2007 bug? Merged cells must be formatted as scientific
Trying to find out if this is happening with anyone else. To display the
text entered into merged/wrapped cells in Excel 2007, I have to format it as "scientific" instead of as text. Bizarre! I use merged/wrapped cells extensively and never came across any issues prior to the upgrade to Office 2007. If I don't format the text as scientific, it is displayed (and prints) as a long string of ##### signs. |

Have you tried formatting as General.
This stops the display of ############# in earlier versions of Excel.

I would suggest providing more detailed information, as there may be some other issue going on than what you conclude. --ron |
