    Wrap Text

    Hi

    I pasted a paragraph of text in a cell and then formatted it to wrap the text.
    Now I want to paste another paragraph in the same cell. The second paragh, however, does not look wrapped and I am unable to wrap it. The first few/last few lines look deleted and am not able to see the two paragraphs in full.

    Also, is there a maximum limit to the height and width of a cell?

    THanks

    RE: Wrap Text

    on the rows header (where the numbers are) position your cursor between the
    numbers and double click. or hold down and drag to the correct width.

    Thanks...

    I tried both but it did not work for me.
    I did widen the cell and could see the entire content. But I want the paragraphs one below the other. All I have to do is enter the first paragh copy paste it in the same cell --- it's the same paragh twice one below the other so that it need not be too wide. Any ideas?

    I think you need to force a carriage return. With your cell selected, press F2 to enter the edit mode. Place the cursor at the end of your first paragraph and press ALT+ENTER to force a new line within your cell. Press ENTER to commit. Now your next paragraph will be below the first one.

    Does this work for you?
