Issue being, merged cells into Excel spreadsheet. Some cells would wrap but
others would not. Tried changing the font - that didn't work. Tried
changing the column width - got to be too wide. The last 4 lines would not
wrap not matter what I did. Now I am considering re-typing the cell from
scratch or maybe there is something in the cell that I cannot see thus
causing a non-wrap. Please advise. Thanks.

This is one of the limitations of using merged cells, which I try to avoid at
all costs. When using merged cells you'll have to force wordwrap by
inserting a new line within the cell. This is accomplished by pressing <Alt
+ <Enter to force a line break a the current cursor location.

You can do this after the fact as well. If you're anything like me typing
something once is more than enough and if retyping can be avoided I always
opt for that route.

If the text just fades away, it's not really a wrapping problem. It's more of
display problem.

But you can add alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every 80-100
characters and you'll be able to see more characters.
