Darren Your first statement is correct. If I do that (click in formula bar and then anywhere else), and try to close excel it prompts me to save changes which I do. Next time it is opened everything is fine.
You have given me an idea - will get back to you later or on Monday Many thanks Paul -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Darren Sent: 13 September 2013 14:52 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Strange Excel behaviour Once you have done this => click in the formula bar and then click anywhere in the spreadsheet it appears in the cell correctly. If you then close the spread sheet and open it is the formatting then correct or do you need to click in the formula bar again ? -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Newton Sent: Friday, 13 September 2013 10:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Strange Excel behaviour Hi all I am using automation to populate cells in Excel. Some of the text in the cells consists of two lines, e.g. "Fred" + CHR(10) + CHR(13) + "Flintstone". When I open the spreadsheet it appears in the cell as "FredFlintstone" but it shows as two lines in the formula bar. If I click in the formula bar and then click anywhere in the spreadsheet it appears in the cell correctly. Any ideas how to get around this?
