I've looked and looked in the archives of teh excel ngs via google. I
can't seem to find this info so I know I'm not asking for the right
info. Help file also unhelpful, probably for the same reason.

When we have more than on "line" of text in a cell, and when the cell
is the active one, the formula bar shows all this info in that sort of
preview but that obstructs the information in the cells directly below
the formula bar.

I can't remember how to turn that feature off. Anyone know?
