Tip not complete

I don't usually do this, but I take exception with this tip about 'Automatically Wrapping Text.' I don't think the use of the word Automatic is appropriate. I'll give you that it is a nice shortcut though. Also, there is a step missing; 1a. Press Enter. If you hit CTRL+1 before you press enter, you will be formatting only the text, not the cell.

The statement automatic is incorrect. This tip only sorts out 1 cell. How do you set wrap text to be permanetly on? This would be better
