When exactly does it reappear?
After save and open file or in another stance.
If it is the first case, I presume you Excel doesnt accept the changes.

Go to Format|Cell|Alignment|Text control
Uncheck "Wrap text"
This will erase all wraped texts

This might help you

I tried looking all through the newsgroup and saw nothing that
approaches my query.

I do a lot of data editing, working through other people's stuff and
trying to standardize it, and that entails a lot of global replaces.

It is s.o.p. for me to set |Format|Alignment|Wrap Text| to off, to
compact a worksheet and to determine when someone decided to write a
book where a single word is needed.

Somehow, the Wrap keeps coming back! I have a suspicion that there is
some sort of option or default which has got changed, but I know not
where or what I have done to deserve this!

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Apparently, I was not clear. I have done what you suggest, but after a
few global replaces, the WRAP is BAAAACK. Anything further?
