How-to Guide

1. Automatic wrapping (auto-adjust row height)

Entry: Home → Wrap Text

  1. Select the cell that you want to format.
  2. Click Wrap Text on the Home tab.
  3. The text in the cell will wrap automatically based on the current column width.
  4. If needed, open the drop-down menu on the right and choose Overflow, Wrap, or Clip.

Success Criteria

  • Long text in the selected cell appears on multiple lines, or updates to the selected display mode.
  • If you change the column width, the wrapping result changes with it.

Tips While Using

  • Automatic wrapping depends on column width, so the display result changes when the column width changes.
  • If the content still does not look complete, check the row height or the display state of the selected cell area.

2. Manual line break (forced line break)

Entry: Double-click a cell to enter edit mode

  1. Double-click the target cell to enter editing mode.
  2. Place the cursor where you want the line break.
  3. Press Alt + Enter.
  4. Continue typing or confirm the content after the line break is inserted.

Success Criteria

  • The text breaks into two or more lines at the cursor position.
  • The line break remains in place when you edit the cell again later.

Tips While Using

  • Manual line breaks are useful when you want a fixed break position.
  • Manual line breaks and automatic wrapping can exist together, and the final display still depends on column width.

3. Apply automatic wrapping to multiple cells

Entry: Home → Wrap Text

  1. Select the range of cells that you want to format together.
  2. Click Wrap Text on the Home tab.
  3. Apply the same automatic wrapping setting to the selected range.
  4. Adjust column width if needed and review the overall layout.

Success Criteria

  • Multiple cells in the selected range use the same wrapping display behavior.
  • The spreadsheet layout looks more organized and long text no longer spills out randomly.

Tips While Using

  • Before applying the setting in bulk, confirm the target range so you do not affect unrelated cells.
  • If the sheet contains text of different lengths, adjust column width together with wrapping for a clearer result.
