Excel wrap text in entire document

I have to use excel to write specifications. As there are templates, often the newly entered text does not show as the cell is cut. How do I wrap text on a document. I have been trying control A, and then pressing wrap text icon which does not do it.
What is the correct method, please?

RE: Excel wrap text in entire document

Hi Mirella,

Thank you for the forum question.

Well you are using the right method. I have just done it myself. I added a lot of text to a table. I selected all the cells with text an pressed wrap text and all cells in my selection wrapped the text.

I do not know why this method is not working for you.

I can have a look at your file if you send it to:

info@stl-training.co.uk

Please write in the topic that the Excel file is for me.

Kind regards

RE: Excel wrap text in entire document

Hi Mirella,

I have received your file thank you.

Can I please ask you to let me know where you cannot get it to work.

Which worksheet please and also please which cell.

Also try just to select one cell where you cannot get it to work and press Wrap Text (do not use Ctrl A), and see if this is working

Kind regards
