Scrolling Within a Cell

I am trying to create an issue log using Excel 2007. The status reporting
creates some rather lengthy text narratives. If I resize the row height to
show all the narrative, I get some astonishingly large rows, which makes the
number if the "issue #" cell look tiny and lonesome.
Is there a way to format a cell (a text cell) so that the user can just
scroll through the text? So I can set the standard row height to, say, 30,
and then if there is more text than will display in that space, the user can
just access a scroll bar and read through the details to her heart's content?
 
Show user how to select the cell.

Then expand the formula bar(click on double arrows at right end)

If more than 3 lines use the scroll arrows found at right end.
