Default how can i resize a section of a column?

two ways:

Type into a cell "This is a test" <<w/o the quotes AND before pressing the
enter key hold down the Alt key at the same time you press the enter key.
Then continue to type "of a single wide" << again hold down the Alt key
while you press the enter key. You can continue to do this until you are
complete (the last character), wheb that occurs ONLY press the enter key.
Done

OR

Click in the cell, go to the menu, Format, Cells, Alignment Tab and check
the box Wrap text, OK.

Hi!
I'm trying to create a balance sheet for bills. I want to resize a section
of a column to the words in side the row but keep the rest of the row the
same size. I'm not inputting charts. I just simply want to change a section
of a row a without affecting the rest of it.
