A couple of other things to test...

#1. Select the cell
edit|clear|All
test it out.

If it works there, then you missed one of the formatting suggestions.

#2. Try opening excel in Safe mode:
close excel
windows start button|Run
excel /safe
Click on the new icon

Test it out.

Opening excel in safe mode stops a lot of things from getting loaded--template
files, addins, macros...

More info. I checked the formatting of the cells that show-up vs. don't
show-up and for somereason Excel has checked the wrap-text text formatting on
certain cells. Those cells with wrap-text format (alt+enter) checked do not
appear as text, just a blank cell. Any new data entered with the alt+enter
format also show-up as blank. Not sure what to do...

Widen the column
Increase the row height
change the format to General
change the format to not white on white
check format|conditional formatting.

Do you see the text in the formula bar?

You're gonna have to provide some details sometime.

Thanks, But this is not the problems guys. This is a new installation of
Excel on a new machine. I've been using Alt+Enter for years and for some
reason, the text does not show up, even if it's only a few characters
followed by Alt+Enter, then a few more characters. Please help.

Thanks Dave, I did not know that. And you're right, it is difficult to
guess sometimes, I just wish more people would follow up on their post
and then leave feedback for others to benefit.
