I have formatted a cell so the text wrapping is active, however, only the
first 8 or 9 lines will wrap--then the text travels outside the cell and i am
having to manually wrap it, which is very time consuming. Do i possibly have
something set wrong somewhere?

Hi
could you mail me an example sheet

Frank's response to add some alt-enters (every 80-100 characters) is a common
fix to this.

Didn't it work for you?

Hi Dave,

Yes, this works. However, there are so many occurences in the document that
it will be very time consuming to use Alt-enter for each instance. I was
hoping there was an easier fix. Thanks. Have a good day.

Same problem!! Did anyone find a way to fix it without resorting to
alt-enter?? Sounds like a common problem!!!

This is not a problem as far as MS is concerned.

The 1024 character limit has been around for a few versions.

Excel is not considered to be a word processing program so not much effort has
been expended to add WP features and functionality.

The Alt + Enter trick is what works for now.

Alt&Enter is fine unless the appearance of the text needs to be OK both on
screen and when printed (forced breaks using Alt&Enter can appear in the
'wrong' place when the sheet is peinted). If this is the case, copy your text
into a text box, and drag the borders of the text box to exactly the same
width and height as your merged cells. You can use format text box to remove
the border if required.
