Edit bar displays data different from table cell
As a former full time user and teacher of Excel I admire this program.
It would seem that the latest beta has a glitch, though. When I click on a cell, the edit bar is displaying information different from the table cell in some of the cells of my worksheet, which is an excel 2003 worksheet used in compatibilty mode. This makes the program completely unusable for me, since I am unable to edit the contents of some cells. I downloaded the program on June 7. By the way, I am annoyed that many of the things I used to know how to do, like click on Help:About to determine the program version number, are no longer possible. How does one determine the version number? |

The text entry in the cell shows differently in the cell than in the edit bar.

Edit bar displays data different from table cell
Hi Nick
While putting together a screen grab for you I discovered that the problem is not what I thought. It turns out that the edit bar text is right-justified instead of left-justified as before, so that on my long text entries I was seeing only the right-most part of the text which I wasn't seeing in the left-justified cell. Not as big a problem as I thought, but I would still prefer to see the left-justified text in the edit bar. Unless you are from a country that reads text from right to left, you should see the left-most text in the edit bar first.

Edit bar displays data different from table cell
Just a little further experience with this shows me that there is an up/down
arrow control on the right hand side of the edit bar which scrolls through the sections of the entry on items that don't fit within the edit bar. There is no problem with justification, but the line first displayed should be the first part of the entry. It is a cool control and I really like it.
