» Preventing Text from Extending Beyond the Range in Excel 2007

In this example, enter a statement into cell A59, without the text spilling over into cells outside the report range (the report goes from column A to D).

To prevent text from extending beyond the report width:

1. First, ensure that the typed text was typed in cell A59 only.
2. Select cells A59:D59.
3. Select Home -> Fill (in Editing Group) -> Justify.
4. The following message appears: Text will extend below selected range. (Note: Before clicking OK, ensure that the cells below row 59 are blank.)
