Excel Cell Alignment Orientation

[Devildog75]

I've got a user who goes into Format>Cells and in the Alignment tab, they can change the "Orientation" so that the cell slants at an angle.

According to her, in the past, she could do this without having to type any text into the cells. But she says now she has to type text into the cell otherwise it reverts the Orientation to the default angle.

She's using Excel Pro 2003 SP2. Anyone have any experience with this that could shed light on whether or not text must be entered?

I am using Excel 2003 SP2.

I can set cell alignment with empty cells and then ENTER data, that assumes the desired alignment.

Is your coworker ENTERING data or PASTING data?

Skip - good question. I'll inquire and respond tomorrow. Thanks!
