The text will only spill over is there is nothing in the next cell. If
there is a space or even a single quote (ie ' ) then it will no do so.

I have a sheet where the cells are fairly narrow so when more than a
few characters are typed in, the text spills out into the next cells.
Is there a way to "contain" the text to just the cell? I tried word
wrap, but then it automatically readjusts the cell height to a very
tall cell, which I would like not to happen either. Any suggestions
are appreciated!
