I am a newcomer to Microsoft excel therefore I have a little knowledge.
When I type something on a cell it will appear crossing all front cells.
How can I show that sentence in a single column?
When you type something on the cell it will cross the other cells.
However, If you want to have it in a single cell please follow the below steps.
First type the sentence or paragraph in a single cell that you want. (E.g.: we assume the cell is B3).
Point to note: please do not drag any cell before and after type the sentence or paragraph.
Then select the cell that you typed and go to the Home tab, alignment section and click on the “Wrap text” option.
Then the answer you expected will be displayed as shown in the below picture.
What you need is a word wrap.
To do that, write the sentence that you want to see inside the cell.
Then follow these steps:
1. Right-click on the cell which contains the sentence.
2. Look for the “Format Cells…”
3. When you see the new window, select on the “Alignment” tab.
4. Look for “Text control under “Alignment” tab.
5. Click the check box which says “Wrap text”. And there you have it, an entire sentence in a single cell.
Hope this helps.
