Default Why doesn't Excel "word wrap" always expand the cell fully?

I work with fairly lengthy & wordy Excel spreadsheets that frequently need
additional information in the cells . Sometimes the cells do not expand to
display all the text contained therein. Usually , with the cell highlighted ,
by pulldown Format then Cells and selecting the Alignment tab in Text
Control turning on & off Word Wrap will correct this.
The cell expands in size making all the text visible.
Other times , the Row may have to be highlighted.
Other times merely changing the cell & pressing enter will enable the full
display.
Yet , other times...the most frustrating ones...nothing short of manually
setting the height of the row , will allow automatic word wrap display.
I must be missing something...or it is just another bug.
