Wrap Text in a cell. No matter what I have tried. Wrap text box is checked.

Try using ALT+Enter where you want to break the text.

Is the cell "merged"?

Merged cells will allow "wrap text" from FormatCellsAlignment but..........

Excel has a problem auto-fitting merged cells.

You can resize manually or via Macro. Jim Rech has written
code for this.

Note also a recent adaptation of this code by Greg Wilson.

The best cure is DON"T USE MERGED CELLS. They cause no end of problems with
copying, pasting, sorting, filtering.
