I have cells in excel where I cannot make the text in the cells even and parallel. I put the cursor on the beginning of the text and press backspace and still I cannot put the text on the right column to the top of the cell. Whats going on here?

Regards,
Mirza

Wouldn't this be a TypeSetting program?

I'd look at type setting or such programs since exact placement of characters is not a spreadsheet strength.
