Default Wrapping Text

Using Excel 2003

I cannot figure this one out - I have some merged cells that will not wrap
the text I enter. I selected the merged cells, went to Format Cells Wrap
Text and the text will not wrap. Does anyone know why this would be
happening?

Thank you, Karen

Just a long shot, but maybe the cells are wrapping, but the row height
does not automatically increase to let you see the "wrapped" bit? Try
manually increasing the row size?

It's a known feature and another reason not to use merged cells
it will always come back and haunt you
