Processor: Intel
Excel files created in 2004 Excel and opened in 2008 Excel show strange pound symbols (hashes) in the text fields, whether the field is large enough to fit the text or not. Pound signs are inconsistent as well: "## ##### # ###". Looks as though this only occurs at zoom levels that are not 100% (e.g. 125%, 150%, etc). Super annoying...
Screenshot at 100% zoom:

Good writeup online at:

Any solutions to this bug yet?
(NOTE: The answer to this question in the earlier forum at <http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Excel/3294> is wrong. But this forum is a bit lame, since it doesn't allow you to continue discussion on an "inactive" post... probably so people can't complain about a single issue en-mass... lame).
