Hello, all [=D
 What's probably a very simple format-setting has got me baffled....
 I was copying some columns & then pasting them (paste special >
values) into a fresh worksheet, in order to get rid of all the tick
marks at the beginning of the cells. The tick marks are gone. But now,
for some reason I can't figure out, in the column's cells on the new
sheet--in a column formatted as General-- when there's too much text to
fit into their own column, it's extending into the neighboring cell.
For example, if Column A is 75 pixels wide, and I happen to have 85
pixels-worth of text in cell A2, the extra 10 pixels-width of material
is being plainly-display in cell B2. What up?
 If I enter data into B2, the unwanted text disappears and the new
data displays fine. But for all the cells in Column B that are empty,
if the material in Col A is too wide it's 'intruding' into the next
column, even tho there haven't been any cells merged.
 Can anyone help with this?
 TIA
