I'm not sure what you would expect "center across selection" to do other
than center the text.

If you want to justify the text, then choose Justify as your Horizontal Text
Alignment. You might also want to select Wrap Text.

I have been trying to paste a large amount of text within a cell without
merging cells. I can only find the ability to center across selection
which
works great except that the text is centered. I want to justify the text
instead, but I can't figure it out.

Help would be appreciated.
