How to open a wrapped text cell to first character

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
