I like to save small bits of information, usually messages (answers) from online forums, into a worksheet I call "misc notes". Trouble is when I do this, a paragraph of text ends up as one long sentence stretching across many cells, disappearing off the screen to the right. I'd like to be able to paste text into a given area, actually into the width of the screen, and have it wordwrap into the next row when it reaches the width of the screen. How can I do this? Excel 2002 doesn't even allow the word "wordwrap" in it's help keyword slot. John To me it sounds like you're using the wrong tool for the job. Sort of like using a monkey wrench to drive a nail. Excel is a program to manipulate numerical data, not text. Sounds to me like you're building more of a knowledge base. I use a program called Genral Knowledgebase: http://www.baltsoft.com/ Not free but useful in multiple situations. I'm sure with a little looking you could probably find similar for less or even free. gls858 |
