I have a data extract taken from a Share Point list that has larger memo-type
data in it. I am trying to format some of this data in Excel for a report we
are creating and can't get the raw-text-data to wrap correctly in the cell.

The data has not been truncated, as all of it is in the cell...it simply
won't wrap to the next line like it should, even with the "Wrap Text"
formatting parameter activated. It looks as though the text string just
continues into the next, right-most cell and isn't completely visable.

Please advise...
