I suggest you somehow incorporate the hyphenate function into Excel. I am
frequently using Excel to organize data that requires larger blocks of text
and I am ALWAYS having trouble with words getting cut off in wierd ways, 95%
of which could be solved with a hyphenation tool. Also, a cell padding
feature would be great (being able to create space around the text in a cell)
or spaces between the cells. I'm getting used to using web based table
generators, and want to see those same functions in Excel.

You may be better off using Word's table feature instead of Excel for
handling text.

You do realize that Excel was originally created to be a number cruncher and
basically remains that type of application.

Word is a good word-processing tool for dealing with large ampunts of text and
generating website tables.

But..........lotsa luck with your wishes<g
