Format the cell(s) to "General".
There seems to be a quirk (bug), where in a Text formatted cell of more then
approximately 256 characters, you'll get the ###'s.
Stranger yet, if you keep typing, the true text *returns* when the character
count exceeds 1024.
General format should work for the "in-between" character count.

I have been using Excel (XP) to make a text chart for some time now. Some entries are quite lengthy. I've not had a problem until last week when my lengthy entries started showing up as pound signs (######) instead of text as soon as I click off of the cell. I tried changing the width of the cell and shortening my entry to no avail. The cell is formatted as "text" and "wrap to fit". I know the text can fit because when I'm editing it, it fits. This chart is due to my professor tomorrow, please help!
