I am working on a spreadsheet that is mostly text. Many of the cells have
quite a bit of text in them. In one particular cell, I get the ##### which
indicate to me that the cell is not wide enough to accommodate the text. I
have deleted and re-entered the text several times. The cell is not merged,
text wrapping is turned on, there are no numbers or formulas or special
formatting in the text. Even by manually dragging the cell border down to
make the cell border bigger, I cannot get the text to appear. Other cells in
the document with a similar amount of text are just fine. Any suggestions?

Is the cell formatted as text. If so try reformatting as general.

Copy/Paste the text in that cell into a reply to this message so that we can
test what you are talking about.
