Simple question about text within a cell

I can't seem to find the option that prevents text from
covering the adjacent cell.

For example if I type the folling in cell A1:

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.

Obviously that will overflow over the cell B1 (if there
is no data in B1). I don't want to resize my column, I
only want the cell to show as much text in A1 as possible
without covering cell B1.

I believe I've seen the option to do what I'm looking for
but I can't seem to find it and I can't figure out how to
look it up in the HELP file.

Thanks in advance.

Kieran,

Yes, I've thought of something similar to that but I
think there is an option in the software to prevent this.

Thanks though,
Rick

Or, if you want the cursor to move down when you press enter, rathe
than move right, try:

Tools|Options|Edit and you'll find a dropdown box .
