Wrap text problem in Excel 2003
 

I am having probems with wrap text. The last line, in a ten line entry,
won't wrap. Is there anything I can do about this as it is happening on at
least five cells

Many thanks

Have you tried to manually place the "carriage return" by editing the cell
(F2), moving to the appropriate spot and simaltaneously hitting the Alt-Enter
keys? or is manual entry not an option in this instance?

Already tried the Alt-Enter route to no avail. Interestingly if I use Alt +
Enter then enter a letter, the letter appears but I'm still missing the text
on the line above.

Any thoughts (and thanks again for your help on this)

Did you adjust the rowheight?

I put alt-enters every 80-100 characters to force new lines in the cell.

How often do you insert those alt-enters?

Dave - I think the problem is there are more than 1200 characters in the cell
so hitting the 1024 problem

I don't think that 1024 number will be a problem if you add those alt-enters
every 80-100 characters.

I've seen well over 5000 characters with font size small enough, rowheight and
columnwidth large enough.
