Help in displaying in a cell
I had type in a number of words (< 400 word count based of microsoft works) in a excel spreadsheet, but the cell only display ############ wrap text option is checked, What's the exact problem? Using excel 2007 Is the cell formatted as Text? Apply a General format to it instead. Also, you can insert manual line breaks as you enter the text using Alt-Enter. Hope this helps.

numeric cell formats
I have a XLS file converted from Quattro. I want to change number formats in a column. I highlight the cells, then click on FORMAT, CELL, but nothing happens, none of the possible cell formats pop up. I tried EDIT, GOTO, SPECIAL and still nothing happens. I looked to see if the cells were protected, but this does not seem to be the case. Any ideas on what to do? THANKS!! The only time I've seen this is when the original workbook was created in a different program--crystal reports or Lotus 123. I included a few "sacrificial" cells in my selection, made my changes to...

Validating data pasted into worksheet
I have an application that has a user paste data into a set group of columns and up to 100 rows. The data is sales information. They then click a button and the data is exported into a flat file. I need the data to be validated before the flat file is created. 1. I need field length validation on some columns (13 characters max) and 2. I need the data in two columns to be validated against a code list (MN, KN, TD, or GD).

IE8 Missing web page content
After upgrading to IE8 I lost my Windows XP logo on my desktop. This feature was available in previous versions by adding "Web Page Content" to the Desktop Items of Display Properties.

too many worksheets in workbook
I have a user that has a lot of worksheets in one workbook, and wants to add more. It is beginning to get cumbersome to scroll through the worksheets to get to the correct one. I know this is a vague question, but does anyone have suggestions on how to reorganize the spreadsheet? One idea I had was to provide macros to show one grouping of worksheets while hiding another grouping. For example, macroS would show worksheets S1 and S2 while hiding P1 and P2; macroP would show worksheets P1 and P2 while hiding S1 and S2. They are using Excel 2002. Thank you.

special character in Worksheet column after import
Hi, I imported some text files that have two columns of numeric values. Those seem to have a fixed width, but after the import, there appears to be a special character in the second column that is sometimes indicated by an open/white square i.e., it cannot be displayed. Surprisingly, this square is only displayed in my older XP 2002 (for students and teachers) at home, but not in the newer Office 2003 version on my work laptop. There, I was puzzling why Excel didn't want to plot a graph from my table. At home, I realized that the special character not shown at work was the reason. F...
