Selected images in Word 2016 have eight handles. Click the Layout Options button. Word features four text-wrapping options, found in the With Text Wrapping area of the Layout Options menu. These options are Square, Tight, Through, and Top and Bottom:. Square. Text flows around the image in a square pattern, regardless of the image’s shape. Text flows around the image and hugs its shape.
Text flows around the image but also inside the image (depending on the image’s shape). Top and Bottom. Text stops at the top of the image and continues below the image.
Choose a text-wrapping option. Examine your image and the text to see whether it wraps the way you like. If it doesn’t, repeat these steps and choose another setting in Step 3. To remove text wrapping, choose the Inline option from Step 3.
Jordan formatted some cells in his worksheet to wrap text within them. Even though the text in the cells wraps, Excel won't automatically adjust the row height to show all the wrapped text. Jordan wonders if there is a way to 'reset' the row so that Excel will adjust its height based on the text being wrapped within the cells. By default, when you wrap text within a cell, Excel automatically adjusts row height so that all the text in the cell is visible. There are only two exceptions to this default:. The cell in which you are wrapping text is actually merged with another cell.

The height of the row in which the cell is located was previously changed. In Jordan's case, there are no merged cells in the problem row. This leaves us with the second exception—it would appear that the height of the row in which the cell is located was explicitly set before wrapping was turned on in some of the row's cells. In this case, the solution is simple: Reset the row height. There are actually a couple of ways you can do this. First, you could select the row and then double-click the 'boundary' between the row and an adjacent row. With the row selected, take a look at the row header, to the left of column A.
This area contains a row number, and the 'boundary' you need to double-click is between this row number and the next row number. It can be a bit tricky to get the mouse pointer in the correct location to do the double-clicking, so an approach I prefer is to select the row and display the Home tab of the ribbon. In the Cells group there is a Format tool; I click it and then choose AutoFit Row Height.
This allows Excel to determine the appropriate row height based on the contents of the row. If a cell in the row has wrapping turned on, then the row height will automatically adjust to display the information in the cell.
You can find additional information about this issue in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: If you have quite a few rows that contain cells with wrapping turned on, and the height of none of the rows is adjusting, then you may be interested in a quick little macro that can do the adjustment for you: Sub AutofitRows Dim CL As Range For Each CL In UsedRange If CL.WrapText Then CL.Rows.AutoFit Next End Sub The macro steps through all the cells in a worksheet, and if the cell has wrapping turned on, it sets the AutoFit property of the row in which the cell is located. Row height auto-fit is definitely the key in order to make the text wrap work wherein it doesn't work. The code is nice but not applicable for a range which keeps expanding over time (unless you wish to run this code after every blank cell receives a value). Assuming you need the text wrap to work specifically in a certain column or a designated range, select an entire column or your range then in Office Ribbon Home tab Format AutoFit Row Height This method would accommodate any future text wrapping in cells which are currently not filled yet with any data.
