Text not going in to cell correctly

This is probably really easily soluble as it seems a very stupid question. When I cut and paste text into some cells the text goes into the cell, fits in at the width that I've already selected for the cell and expands the cell downwards so it all fits. However sometimes, the text appears on one line going all the way across the page. There is no apparent difference between either the cells or the text I'm putting in. All of these cells I am cutting text into are blank.

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
It's the wrap property that determines that. Go to Format Cells > Alignment and make sure 'Wrap Text' is ticked.
