FAQ
Why does nothing seem to change after I tap Wrap?
- Confirm that the target cell or range is selected first.
- Check whether the content is already short enough to fit within the current column width.
- Reduce the column width or test with longer text, then check the result again.
What is the difference between Wrap, Truncate, and Overflow?
- Wrap places content on multiple lines when it exceeds the current column width.
- Truncate shows only the portion that fits within the current cell width.
- Overflow lets the content extend beyond the current cell boundary for easier viewing.
Does Wrap Text change the actual content in the cell?
- No. It changes only the display mode.
- The original text in the cell is not deleted or rewritten when you switch display modes.
- After saving the file, the text content remains the same.
