If not all wrapped text is visible in a cell, most likely the row is set to a certain height. Or, you can set a specific row height by clicking Row Height… and then typing the desired number in the Row height box. A fixed row height comes in especially handy to control the way the table headers are displayed. Excel's Wrap Text does not work for merged cells, so you will have to decide which feature is more important for a particular sheet.
If you keep the merged cells, you can display the full text by making the column s wider. If you try to wrap a cell s that is already wide enough to display its contents, nothing will happen, even if later on the column is resized and becomes too narrow to fit longer entries.
To force the text to wrap, toggle the Excel Wrap Text button off and on again. Sometimes, people want to prevent text from spilling over into next cells. This can be done by setting Fill for horizontal alignment. If later on you enable the Wrap Text feature for such cells, nothing will change - text will still be truncated at the cell's boundary.

This is how you wrap text in Excel to display longer text on multiple lines.

The above example you can see the text inside cell B2 extends well past the width of the cell and spills over cell to the right. After the cell has had wrap text applied, you can see the row height has been adjusted to fit all the text.
This is a very common action, so it can be found in the Home tab of the ribbon commands. There is no dedicated keyboard shortcut for the wrap text formatting, but you can still use the Alt hotkeys for this. The format cells dialog box contains all the formatting options you can apply to a cell in your spreadsheet, including the wrap text option. This is a great option when you want to apply wrap text and other formatting options at the same time. If your row height does not properly adjust to fit all the text and is either too small or too big, then you will need to adjust it.
You can do this manually by clicking and dragging the row but there is an easy option to auto-adjust the height. You can also do this by double clicking on the edge of the row heading.
The wrap text option will automatically format your text with line breaks based on the available width of the cell.
