Is it true that Text is truncated when the cell that it resides in is not wide enough to display all of it in Excel?

This will only happen if there is something in the next cell. If the next cell is empty the text in the cell will seem to spill into it. If there is something in that cell, then you will only see text in the first cell up to the width of that cell. The full text is still contained within the cell, so it is not lost. To see it in full, you would widen out the column that the cell is in.

In Microsoft Excel sometimes I type a lot and it replaces my text with a bunch of number signs how do I get rid of that?
If the contents of a cell are too big to display within that cell Excel will use empty cells to the right to display it in full. However, if adjacent cells aren't empty Excel will display ##### to indicate that the column is not wide enough to display the contents. Make the column wider by dragging the right hand border of the column header to the right. If you double click instead of dragging the column will re-size itself to accommodate the longest entry.
