Well, I'm trying to make an Excel Sheet, you see. However, despite there being enough room for more text (vertically), the text I write kinda just leaks out into the cell next to it, being all "lolz hey man wazzup in here". So, basically, I'd like my text's awful habits to end, so that it may stay in the cell of which it belongs.

:mog:

Go to the top where the column letters are and drag the side.

if you're going to follow dd's advice, at least double click them so they'll auto-size.

You have a number of options:

Wrap Text
Shrink to Fit
Justify
Distributed
Expanding the row/column
Merging cells

All of these are good options. I'd recommend wrap text or expanding the row or column myself though.

Wrap text. Alt + Enter will also give you a hard return in the same cell.

Double clicking on the top right side of the column will auto-fit the column to the text, but sometimes that gives you too much text on one line.
