How do I fix text wrapping in Excel?
 
Occasionally, I find that text in Excel does not wrap correctly - the lines
extend beyond the cell boundaries. Although the text is fully visible when
you click on it, it appears as though it is cut off. I have tried applying
and reapplying the "wrap text" formatting, ensuring that the cells are
formatted as text, extending the size of the cell, etc., but other than
manually putting in the line breaks using ALT+ENTER, I haven't found a
solution. Has anyone come across this problem before, and do you have any
suggestions?

I think that the solution is to use those alt-enters.
