Iain, I've been always saying you are an expert in Excel and VBA, but this article series of yours proves that you can also communicate all the essence of your exceptional knowledge, on a layperson's level as well. No matter how extensively I have worked with Excel, it is very pleasant for me to read through your so nicely structured approach, and re-discover all the basics of this top-selling spreadsheet program.

Thank you Sakis.

I'm already working on the next couple of parts and thinking about a very general intro to VBA. Watch this space!

To wrap text, enter your data and then press Ctrl+1. From the dialogue box choose the Alignment tab. Now check the Wrap text box and click OK..

At instances the Ctrl + 1 keys only display the Font tab. This will usually occur if you haven't used the formatting feature for a while. If so, the alternative to reaching this same goal (apart from the forumla bar) and menu window is to right-click on the cell you've just typed in and then choose Format Cells....

Good article, well done.
