Single cell of excel sheet not printing

Hi. I'm working on a 2 column, 18 row spreadsheet, all text. There is one cell in the document that does not show up on preview and does not print. The s/s is 1.5 pages long. However, when I tell it to fit everything to one page, it shows up in preview and prints out just fine (of course, you can read it without a major magnifier!)
I've scoured the help and forums, and can't come up with anything. This cell does have quite a bit of data in it, so on the guess that it was too much data, I split it into 2 cells, but still no go. I've tried faking it out by deleting that row and copy/pasting the text into a new cell, and also by just typing it in fresh. Still not working. The settings are all identical in each cell and throughout the doc. I'm at a loss and just cannot come up with anything else to do.
Incidentally, I am using the latest version of Leopard, 10.5.2 (aluminum iMac 2.4GHz), and the most recent version of Office 2008, 12.0.1. Permissions have been repaired, and the latest print drivers are installed in my Canon MP830. Seems like an odd issue since it will print when I shrink the page, but not when it's full size.....although I did try shrinking just a bit, and it only works when I make it all fit on one page.
Any ideas out there??
Thanks!!

Did you try changing the font? Also try changing the print resolution.

Another person posted a similar issue and we've reproduced the problem in
the print lab on more than one printer but not all printers. We are
investigating a fix.

I tried both suggestions, changing the font and changing the print resolution, with no luck. However, I did find a workaround by making a Word chart out of it rather than an Excel spreadsheet. It took a little effort, but I had to get it done, so I was just pleased that I thought to do that!! lol Anyway, I'd still be interested to see what Todd comes up with. I used the same template to do several other Excel sheets both before and after that one, and had no issues....so it's obviously something odd. Thanks !
