text wrap

[Megavision]

Happy Mardi Gras!
After reading 100 posts ... simple question is how can I text wrap and have text left justify rather than center across cells? Using edit and justify doesn't serve my purpose. Is there any way to use the alignment feature and left justify therefrom. A dinosaur comment ... we could do that in 123 without any problem, but I haven't even seen 123 in years.

If you use the Centre Across Selection from the Format Menu, Excel will do exactly that, centre the text. If the text has to be across multiple cells, you could try the merge cells option, which has its own issues. If the text is only in one column, selecting wrap text should automatically left justify.

Thanks for the posted reply. One would think that a smart Microsoft Excel original programmer would have just added options below the "center across columns" that would allow for left justifying or filling the row ... but that may be assuming that they somewhere along the line actually talked to the users. Or maybe my expectations are just too hign. Thanks again for the reply.
