Cell wrap ceases after several lines?

Any ideas why a combined cell crossing several columns should wrap text fine
for several lines, and then go off the side for the rest? The text is all
wrapped when actually editing within the 'cell', but when one leaves it only
the top few lines are wrapped and readable.

Cheers,

You'll see this if the cell contains a longggggg string of text.

But you if you add alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every 80-100
characters, you'll be able to see more.

Thanks Dave,

I was using alt enters - and indeed thought this might be the problem until
I found I still had the phenomenon when I took them out again. Perhaps I am
not using them often enough. Anyhow, I expect the best thing to do is to
use a text box instead - though I have had problems with keeping them in the
right place in the past (esp when sorting). In this case it should not be a
problem as I only need one largish box.

Cheers,

S
