Default Is there a way to setup word wrap within cells?

I notice that no matter how large I make a cell, the text will not wrap when
it gets to the end of the line. I have a bit of typing to do in some cells
and scrolling over to read the contents of one cell just isnt practical. I
also notice that no matter how wide or tall I make a cell it always start
typing in the lower left corner, if that has anything to do with it. Please
help this newbie out! Thanks!

Click on FORMAT ... CELLS, then choose the Alignment tab. Check the Word
Wrap box.

The vertical alignment defaults to "bottom", and you can select whatever you
like.
