    Text aligning just slightly to the left of center in Excel 2010

    My current spreadsheet shows text that's aligning just slightly to the left of center. In the Format Cells menu under Alignment, I have selected Center for both Horizontal and Vertical. There is no indent. Orientation is 0 degrees. Text is set to wrap. Merge cells is unchecked. Text direction is Context.

    When I double click a cell to change the text, it centers correctly as the cursor blinks. But when I click somewhere else and it stops blinking and allowing me to type in the cell, it aligns slightly to the left of center.

    Anyone know what's happening?

    Make sure there are no "invisible" characters at either the beginning or end of the text string.

    Thanks. I tried that and there are no invisible characters. Never seen this issue before. Any other ideas?

    Post your workbook, or a very small sample showing the problem.

    It seems to only be showing up in Page Layout mode in the View tab. I switched back to Normal and it's fine. Might be a bug.
