My boss wants to be able to word wrap and unwrap using a type of "toggle"
like when you CTL + X to cut and CTL + V to paste. Is there such a way to do
this?

"wrapping" is done at the cell format level. In 2007 you have a button
on the Home tab to do this, in 2003 you will need to build a macro to
toggle it.

Thanks Bob. I've never written a macro. Can you advise me how to do this?

It's easier to record it,(look up Macro in Excel Help and click Create
Macro) and then edit if necessary. You may assign a hot key at the start.

.

Sub Wrap_Text()
With Selection
.WrapText = Not .WrapText
End With
End Sub

If you're not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for
more on "getting started".

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm

or Ron de De Bruin's site on where to store macros.

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run or edit the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.
