Default ########### error

I have a fresh cell created (no formulas) - When i type in a line or two of
text, it does not wrap the text, or increase the size of the cell. I can see
everything written on the command line at the top, but not in the cell. If I
try to type in 2-3 lines of text, all text in the cell dissapears and is
replaced with an entire rows of "########"'s. Wrap text is ON, Auto Fit is
ON, no multiple montiors in use. Anyoone have any idea on how to fix this?
ThankS!

Make the column wider
Enter ALT+ENTER wherever you want the text to wrap
Put the text in a text box, not in a cell
best wishes

You need to manually expand the cell on the worksheet. Not enough space has
been allocated.
