A cell can hold more text than can be displayed. If a cell is not wide enough to display its entire contents, characters not appearing on the screen remain in Works’ memory. Numbers that are too long to display appear as #######. If you want a full display of the cell contents, widen the cell with the Format Width command.

If the cell contents still display #######, make sure the format is set appropriately. For example, any number less than 1 or greater than or equal to 65535 in a cell that has been formatted as a date will display as #######, regardless of what the column width is set to.
