Thanks Paul and Ron!

I also was poking around in the cell settings and turned on Word Wrap, which
has done most of the work for me. I can't believe I didn't think of that.

Using Excel 2002 & 2003

I've searched the forums, but I am just having a bit of trouble asking
what I
want to do. (I don't use Excel as much as Word, so I'm a bit rusty.)

I'm creating an informational spreadsheet whose cells are full of a lot of
wordly information that should be broken onto multiple lines to be able to
fit into the confines of the column I've sized for it. I can drag each
cell
down to have more width, but I cannot figure out how to make the text fill
up
the newly fattened cell; that is, to have several line breaks instead of
just
neverending text on one line. I know it's possible (or, I think I know)
but
I forget how it's done. Any suggestions?

I really appreciate it.
