Did you ever have to split text over multiple rows in Microsoft Excel

Did you ever have to split text over multiple rows in Microsoft Excel so it fits

a page nicely? This can be quite a pain. In this video I'll show you a hidden

feature that will do it for you! It's called Justify and it does just that.

This feature allows you to quickly wrap text in a single cell over multiple rows in Excel. This can be done by selecting the cell that contains the text, right-clicking, and selecting Format Cells. Then, under the Alignment tab, select the "Wrap Text" checkbox. This will automatically adjust the row height and wrap the text over multiple lines within the cell. You can also adjust the row height manually by dragging the bottom of the cell up or down.
