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.
