Default Pasting in paragraph of text, but with wordwrap?

continuing...

I see that if I make a column real wide I can get the paragraph of text into it. But I want the text to stretch across
a number of preset columns that are already being used at a given width.

I'm using Excel 2002 and trying to paste in a paragraph of text into a spreadsheet (worksheet). The problem is that
it's showing up on a single line(row) that goes all the way to column CK. I tried formatting the beginning cell and
checked wordwrap but then what I got was the text in a long vertical column of 1 cell wide rows.

What I really would like is this paragraph of text looking like a real paragraph, 5 or 10 columns wide and word

wrapped
inside the column limit. Is there a way to do this and could someone show me how?


Thanks....jc
