Default Format text across cells

If I copy a 10 line paragraph of text from the internet and paste it into
Excel, the text is all placed in a single cell. In Lotus I would then use \
Range Justify to wrap the text across several columns and down as many lines
as it needed.

Edit Fill Justify appears to do the same in Excell but only accepts about
256 characters and so deletes over half the text. Can you increase this
limit or is there another way?

Merging cells aeems to be cumbersome and inflexible. How do you adjust the
size of the box after you have created it.

Any ideas would be much appreciated
