Excel For Mac How To Wrap Text Other Line
The height of the rows have not been adjusted manually. Auto wrap is definitely not taking affect unless I use the paint brush copy paste the format. If I use the paintbrush to copy paste the format the effect is immediate and obvious, so it is not a lack of being able to see the auto wrap.
You can also select the cells, right click and select Format Cells, then on the Alignment tab, on Text Control, check the Wrap Text option so that it will break the content of a cell when it reaches its width and continue on the next line. The text that comes back appears to have the line breaks in the cells, but when I copy back to Excel, the line breaks don’t carry over. No worries, we are revising the process anyway, so this was just a shot at a short term fix, but I was just curious if it was even possible.

After saving the auto wrap check setting, and pressing OK and seeing it does not work, if I go back to the setting it is no longer checked.
An example of editing a cell and losing focus is like this: I was trying to enter a phone number from an email into a spreadsheet in Excel in Office 2016. I was in the middle of editing the cell, used CMD+tab to switch to the email app to grab the phone number, and did CMD+tab to switch back to Excel. But I found my input focus after the switch back to be in an entirely different spreadsheet in a different cell, so when I pasted it went to the wrong place.
The same problem occurs with all my spreadsheets.

I ended up installing office 2011 side-by-side with 2016. None of the problems I mentioned happen with the same spreadsheets open in office 2011 doing the exact same things.

Welcome
(light rock music) - [Male Instructor] A common problem you'll run into in Excel is when data doesn't fit into the width of a cell. You'll either have this problem where the text is cut-off when there's content in the adjacent column or the text runs all the way to the right across your spreadsheet. To make sure all the content is visible in a single cell select that cell and click the wrap text button in the home ribbon. Or select the entire column to apply the text wrap to all of its cells. Alternately you can also make the cell width adjust to the width of its contents by placing your mouse cursor on the right border of the cell header and double-clicking. If you have so much text in a cell that it's difficult to read try adding line breaks by placing your cursor in the cell where you want the break to occur and then pressing option enter on a Mac or alt enter on Windows.
