When I use the wrap text option for a cell, the data in the cell is no longer
viewable when I move to another cell but is clearly still there when the cell
is activated again. The data string can be any length so exceeding the
maximum number of characters in not the problem. When I double click in the
cell or click in the formula area the data reappears in the cell. Any idea
what might be causing this?

Did you format the row height to automatic?

Yes it is set to automatic. The file works fine on other computers so it is
definitley a setting issue on my computer. I just don't know which setting
is causing it. It is a new computer so it may be an issue caused by initial
set-up. It has to be something simple...

I am having this problem as well. Whenever word wrap is enabled on a
cell, the text is not visible in the cell. If I select the cell, the
text is visible in the formula bar. It is also visible in Print
Preview. The issue is not related to cell width or height... it occurs
even with a small entry in the cell. The text color is not white on a
white background. So it is something else on this PC. The same file
works fine on another PC. Any help would be appreciated.

Check to make sure the data from an adjoining cell isn't hidding this cell.
Easiest way is to auto adjust the column wideth of the surrounding
coumns/rows. Also make sure the date isn't centered in the cell.

I also had this issue in Excel 2003 and XP. I do not know enough about
Excel to know why this worked, but I solved it by having Excel
re-register with the OS. This can be done by going to the "Run..."
command in the start menu and typing the following:

Excel /o

Be sure to close Excel before running this command. This evidently
re-registers Excel and fixes the bad value. I hope this helps, it took
me a long time to figure it out, and an Excel expert finally helped me
clear it up!
