In creating an Excel spreadsheet, I have merged several cells to create a large single cell which I have defined as a text field with the wrap-around text feature.  Unfortunately whenever I type text it changes to "#" symbols instead of the text typed.  The actual text is still there and I can access upon returning to the field, but upon exit (or printing) it reverts back to number signs.  Can anyone help me format the field to display the text typed for printing?
