Wrapping text

[D. Hudson]

We have Microsoft Office 2007 running on Windows XP Pro. We use excel a lot
entering text into different cells. We frequently have problems with text
not want to wrap within a cell. Have you seen this or do you need to see a
specific example?
Thanks,

Is the text not wrapping or is the row autofit not working?

In earlier version, merged cells interfered with row autofit.

We can literally click the column header to highlight the entire column and
select wrap text and it won't work. I'll attach an example when I get to the
office later today. Thanks!

Here's a good example because it will be several hours until I get there and
get out of meetings etc...
We use excel as a log book of sorts. Each tab represents a week and we make
notes in the single cell column. If the notes gets too lengthy in a single
cell, it will not always auto-wrap even though it's been selected. You have
to manually go in and readjust the row height.

You haven't said if the rows are set to autofit along with the wrap text being
set.

Hmmm, not sue of that option. I'll have to look next week when I'm back in
the office.
Thanks.
