Forced text wrapping

I've got some text cells in Excel 2003 in which I don't want the text
to wrap. I formatted the cells leaving the "Wrap text" box unchecked. But
when I paste text into a cell and do some editing, it automatically wraps
the text in the cell, and if I then bring up cell properties, the wrap box
is filled with a green square.
How do I get Excel to use the format I told it to use for these cells
and leave the text in them unwrapped? I've searched through help files &
FAQs and can't find a solution. I thought there might be some auto setting
that might need to be changed, but I can't find one.
 
Here's a long shot -

If you're copy/pasting it may be formatted to wrap from
the cell that you're copying from. The wrap format would
be copied along with the data.
