When I type data into an iWork Numbers Cell, the entered data disappears when I move to the next cell. However, if I type the data in the bar at the top of the Numbers page, it remains in the cell when I move to the next cell, without disappearing. Please assist.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 8 GB of Ram
Not the expected behaviour. how do you "move to the next cell"?

When you select the cell where you previously entered data and observe the contents in the formula bar is there anything in the cell?
If you hold the option key while typing the return key tou will create new line characters in the cell but and not move to a new cell. Is it possible you are doing this?

After entering data, I tab-over to the next cell and my entered data disappears. I then enter data into the new cell, tab-over to the next cell and then watch that data disappear.........I "selected-all "and copied the affected sheet, opened-up a new sheet, pasted the data to the new sheet, and deleted the original sheet. So far, the problem has been resolved.......Thank you for your assistance........

After I entered data into the cell and watched it disappear when I tabbed-over to the next cell, I would move the cursor back to the affected cell and notice that there was no entered data appearing in the Formula Bar. I would then enter the data directly on the Formula Bar and then, when I tabbed-over to the next cell, the data entered directly into the Formula Bar would remain in the Cell ....... After tinkering with the sheet, I "selected-all "and copied the affected sheet, opened-up a new sheet, pasted the data onto the new sheet, and deleted the original sheet. So far, this has resolved the problem.......Thank you for your assistance........
Thanks for the update. Sounds like a formatting issue, although one I couldn't reproduce.

When I enter data in a cell, it disappears, unless I enter the data in the text bar at the top of the page.
