    How do you make text fill up a tall cell?

    Hey everyone, I've got a spreadsheet and some of the cells have very long entries in them. Instead of having one long cell that is just one word wide, how can I have multiple lines in one cell?

    In other words instead of:
    _________________________________________________________
    |lkjlkjlkjdlkfjdlkafjdlkfjdlskfjldskfjslkdfjslkdjflskjfdlksjdflskdjflskdjflskdjfl|
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    How can I make the cell look like this:
    ______________
    |lksjdlfkjsldkfjsldkfj|
    |lskjsldkfjslkdjf;skj |
    |slkjdlskjflskjdflskdj|
    --------------------

    Hi,

    Use the Format Cells Alignment option and select the 'Wrap Text' choice.
