Question : Excel spreadsheet cells are showing up as empty even though there are simple data in them

I have a user using Excel 2003. On a lot of excel documents, it is displaying blank cells even though there are simple data such as text or numbers in them. This doesn't happen with the column or row titles, but only with the actual row or column data. When in print preview, we can see the data in the corresponding cells. And the printout looks fine too. The data also appears when double-clicking on each cell as long as the cursor is blinking on that cell. Also, the data is always visible on the formula bar.
These documents open up fine in all other machines we have here.

I've tried repairing Excel with both options checked. Also reinstalled Office 2003 Pro as a whole. I'm not sure if this is a setting or a glitch.

Dell Latitude D610 - Win XP Pro SP2 with P4 1.8ghz processor and 1gb ram. 40GB free space.

Please help!

Answer : Excel spreadsheet cells are showing up as empty even though there are simple data in them

It is probably an issue with the background ad Font colors being the same.

Select the cells, and change the Font color to something else.

I hope this helps !
