Is it possible in Office '07 (Word) to wrap text within cells of a table? I
can't seem to find that option anywhere. When I write a long sentence of
text, it just keeps pushing the cell out horizontally, instead of wrapping
text and expanding vertically. If I lock the column width, it won't allow me
to write any more text.

For a start, turn off auto resizing (Table Properties | Table | Options).
That should be all that's required, but if that doesn't suffice, go to Table
Properties | Cell | Options and make sure "Wrap text" is selected.

If the above don't work, right click on the table or cells you want to amend, then select 'autofit', then select 'fixed column width.'
