    I’ll test and see if that helps. Thanks Masood.

    Okay… I tried turning off hyphenation in the affected cells, and they are STILL going blank at random. So hyphenation isn’t the answer either.

    *sigh* I must just have a buggy file. If I get this job again next year, I may just build it myself from scratch. That will take a LOT of time, but it can’t be worse than tweaking text boxes over and over and over again.

    Still open to ideas if you have any, but I despair of ever finding a solution to this.

    Thank you for your help.

    I turning ON the No Break, actually…when I did that, the text reappeared. But it didn’t STAY there. As soon as I edited a page before that which I did the No Break edit, the cell went blank again. Turning No Break off again, brings the text back, but clearly that’s not going to stick either. So, sadly, “No Break” wasn’t the issue.

    Well, I’m terribly disappointed to find that the No Break option didn’t fix the problem permanently, no more than did my tweaking the cell widths did. I just started editing the file again, and the boxes to which I’d applied the No Break (the ones on following pages after my edits) have gone blank again.

    Tearing my hair out now.

    Changing to a different spread didn’t help in my case…one the table cell goes blank it stays that way till I fix it…but then it can go blank again the next time I make changes to the file. That’s the maddening thing.

    I don’t think command-option-/ is working either. I selected one of the table cells and applied that command and nothing happened. I cannot place the cursor inside the cell when it’s blank like that. And there’s no overflow symbol on the text boxes that have gone blank.

    So far the only thing that’s worked (besides tweaking the width of the cell) is Colleen’s suggestion, and I’m not even sure if it will STAY fixed. I have put a green fill in some of the boxes I’ve fixed with the No Break command and will see if they go blank again next time I edit the file.

    Thanks for your suggestions!!

    Hmmm…interesting. I’ve tried it on two of the table text boxes and No Break was NOT checked. So I checked it and the text came back. I wonder if it will stay that way? Half the problem is that the changes I make don’t stay changed, so I’m fixing the same boxes over and over.

    Interesting though…. I’ve never seen that one. Will look into it some more.

    Thank you!!
