= SYMPTOMS =

In a spreadsheet, text that is formatted for Outline or Shadow and is greater than the width of the cell may not spill into the adjacent cell.

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this behavior, do one of the following:

  Resize the column in which the text is being cut off so that it is wider.   Select and cut the text in the spreadsheet as follows:   Turn on Draw and use the Character tool to create a text box.   Paste the text into the text box.   Format the text box to have either Shadow or Outline formatting.   Drag the text box into position on the spreadsheet.    Reformat the text for something other than Outline or Shadow. </li></ol>
