Hello,
This is my first post and I'm imagining the answer is simple.. However, I've been searching and seem unable to find it.
I have a laptop, Gateway and am running Windows xp
I have excel 2000 and am trying to make a chart to keep track of data.

When I click on the line below the row number at the far left of the chart and drag downward, I am able to increase the vertical dimension - but my difficulty is that when I try to use that extra space for more text, I am only able to use one line at the bottom of the larger cell... which corresponds to where the number sits.
Is there a way to fill more text in a cell like that and how is it done? Ideally, is there a way for the row number to sit at the top of the cell box?

Sorry for such an elementary question, but all the tutorials I've looked at don't seem to address it.. or perhaps I don't know how to pose the question properly. thanks so very much for your help.

Just re-read Doh, you are correct plejon.

I was looking at the chart not the spreadsheet,

You can also force Excel to go to the next line in the cell at anytime by pressing ALT + ENTER without having to manually resize the row height. Doing it this way will automatically resize the height for you after you are done entering your text and pressing ENTER.
