SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, when you open a file that was created in SuperCalc 5, the cells on the worksheet are not visible.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs in Microsoft Excel because the worksheet columns are hidden or saved with a column width of zero when you save a file to the Lotus WK1 file format in SuperCalc 5.

 * 1) Select the entire Worksheet by choosing the Select All button (above the row number 1) or CTRL+A.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Column, and then choose Unhide.

To display gridlines in the file, do the following:
