Default Changing Line Feed Behavior

I'm preparing an Excel report in which some cells must contain
multiple lines of text. Because of the way Excel handles line feeds,
I'm struggling to format the report properly.

From what I can figure, Excel offers two options:

1) With Wrap Text on, it will break the text at line feeds and
whenever the next word will not fit in the cell.
2) With Wrap Text off, it will never break the text; it will either
ignore line feeds or display them as squares.

What I want is a third option:
3) Break the text at line feeds only (like Notepad does when Word Wrap
is off).

Is there any way to make Excel behave that way?
