Alignment: Wrap Text

At the beginning of this lesson we learned that a column can be made wide enough to fit the data. Text Wrapping lets the text appear on multiple lines within a cell.

 

Before You Begin: Select Cell A2.

Type the words: The quick red fox jumped over the lazy, brown dog.

 

What Do You See? The text would make a very, very wide column if you resized it to fit.

Select Cell A2.

Go to Home->Alignment

Click on Wrap Text.

 

Try This, Too: Delete the Text

Select Cell A2.

Delete the sample text.
