copy/paste words in cell can't be read on screen
 

I have been copying information from e-mails and pasting into cells within
excel. Although I have text wrap on, the text does not wrap. I paste a
great deal of information into cells. The only way I can get text to wrap is
to use Alt & enter which creates a hard return. Is there another workaound
so I don't have to continue doing this?

Have you tried formatting the cells to allow text wrapping _after_ the
paste from email? When you copy and paste from another application you
may be inadvertently bringing in formatting from that other application
that conflicts with or overrides existing formats in Excel. For
instance if you copy a section of text off a web page and paste it into
Excel you'll get a ton of unexpected formatting. Formatting after the
paste may resolve your problem.

Try choosing Special Paste - unicode text or paste directly to the fx bar.
