FAQ
Why is my content still not fully visible after I turn on Auto Wrap?
- Make sure you selected the correct cell or range.
- Tap Tools → Home → Auto Wrap again and confirm the setting is active.
- Check the current column width and row height. When Auto Wrap is active, text usually appears on multiple lines and the row height changes.
Does Auto Wrap change the original content in the cell?
- No. Auto Wrap changes only how the content is displayed.
- When it is on, text wraps based on the column width. When it is off, the content returns to a single line.
- The actual text in the cell is not deleted or rewritten.
Why does Auto Wrap apply to only some cells?
- Auto Wrap is a cell-level setting.
- It applies only to the currently selected cell or range.
- If you want a consistent result, select the full target range before applying the setting.
