I am using Excel 2003. I pasted some text in a cell that was formatted to wrap text but the words are not being wrapped and continue on the same line out of view. How do I fix this?

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
check the cell format again. By pasting the text you may have overwritten the cell format.

Welcome to the board...


Key word there is WAS...

Is it STILL formatted to Wrap Text after you pasted ?

I have tried copying the text and pasting into Word as unformatted text and then pasting it back into a new excel document; however the format issues ftill get carried over. The wrap text is still enabled but does not wrap all the text

I tried that and it didn't work. I pasted unformatted text into Word and then tried to paste special back into a new cell but it will only allow you to paste. The text still does not wrap but the wrap checkmark is on in the format screen.

You may have a fixed row height. Try selecting the row then
Format|Row|AutoFit
