    Wrap text in a text box (not in a cell) - Excel 2007

    Hello,

    I'm trying to figure out how to force text to wrap within a text box in Excel 2007. Note: this is a text box on top of a graph -- nothing to do with cells.

    I have tried Insert > Text Box and then typing my text. But contrary to what I have read on line, the default behavior (that I am seeing) is that typed text just ignores the boundaries of the text box, extends infinitely to the right, and doesn't wrap at all (unless I manually insert a carriage return).

    How can I force it to wrap within my text box?

    Thanks!

    Jay
