Default Controlling word wrap in a cell

I am using an Excel 2003 spreadsheet to display some information and am
using cells which are tall enough to hold several lines of text.

My question is how can I control the point at which the text wraps? Is there
a character or key sequence I can use to force the text to the next line
within a cell, so I can have a single short word or number on the top line?

TIA
