A colleague of mine has run this problem past me, but I'm not able to help her - I've never seen this behavior before and don't know what sort of guidance to give.
In various files and over the course of at least the past few weeks, when checking on the contents of a cell in the formula bar, the first 5 or so characters are invisible to the user, i.e., the first part of the formula can't be read on the screen. The underlying formulas seem to function properly and if I copy and paste the entire formula to the another application (ex., notepad) I can then see the full formula.
What's happened here? And, how can I help her restore her copy of Excel to functioning properly again?
