What method in Excel should be used to activate Word Wrap?

The correct approach to activating Word Wrap in Excel is to select the cell or range of cells that require this feature and then press Ctrl + 1. This keyboard shortcut opens the Format Cells dialog box, where various formatting options can be adjusted, including enabling Word Wrap. When Word Wrap is activated, text that exceeds the width of the cell will automatically continue onto the next line within the same cell, enhancing readability without altering the column width.

Other options do not lead directly to the activation of Word Wrap. For instance, clicking on the "File" menu typically leads to file-related functions such as saving or opening files, rather than formatting options. Right-clicking and adjusting the font size does not enable Word Wrap; it only changes the appearance of the text without modifying how it behaves within the cell. Selecting the "Page Layout" tab is more related to overall page settings, such as margins or orientation, and does not provide access to cell formatting options needed to turn on Word Wrap.
