Hello,
I am preparing a very large spreadsheet of text. Once I reach a certain point (a few paragraphs?), the program stops wrapping the text. All of my text is visible in the box at the top of the spreadsheet when I click on the cell. I double checked to make sure it's set to wrap, which it is. I tried merging two cells, no change. Suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks,
Holly
 
I came here looking to see if there was a good reason for the text wrap stopping after so many characters... Now I know its 'as designed' and I'll have to carry on manually wrapping (which nobody else seems to have mentioned) by using Alt-Break. (all text displays in the cell).
