How to open a wrapped text cell to first character

[vandelia]

hello - I have to edit text cells (lots of them) containing approximatley 40 lines of text (screen width) - generally the edit will be done on lines 1-5

When I click on a cell, Excel is opening approximately half-way thru the text

I have to Ctrl Home to get to first line on each cell.

Is there a way I can set Excel 7 so that it opens the cell on the first line, first character of the text?

thanks
george

You need to change the vertical alignment to Top Align. Select all the cells then click the top left icon on the Alignment part of the ribbon.

thanks, I searched hi-low excel help and couldn't find that and obviously didn't think of it, makes me feel really dumb.
thanks again
