allow text to overflow into the next cell?

In some forms that I created in Excel, whatever I type flows into the
adjoining cells. Other times, they are hidden by the next cell. I've tried
formatting both the tect cell and the adjoining cells. Also deleting
everything from the adjoining cell. Nothing seems to work. PLease help!

If there's something in that adjacent cell to the right (even a space character
or an apostrophe), then the cell's text will never overflow to that adjacent
cell.

If the cell is a number, then it won't overflow.

If you have wrap text turned on (format|Cells|alignment tab), then it'll never
overflow to the right.
