I have always used:

Format-cells-alignment then select "wrap text"

Alt+Enter did not work for me at first. I failed to post that I am using
Excel 2000. I did find how this works, only while still in the cell. Once
data is entered and the cell is exited, it does not.

Thabnks for your quick response.

Anyone know of a keyboard shortcut to turn text wrap "on". One of my
co-workers "remembers" the capability, but not the keystrokes, from an
ancient class. I can only come up with Alt+O, E, Alt+W or Ctrl+1, A,
Alt+W.
Is there a little known, or unknown, that I have missed to activate this
feature for a cell?

Thanks for yoru input.
