Wrap text and unwrap text in excel cells are indispensable for developers. Wrap text is specially required when the excel text exceeds the column width or excel data cannot be shown completely. While unwrap text enables the cell data to be displayed in orderly rows and columns. In this section, a solution will be introduced for you to quickly wrap or unwrap text in excel with C#, VB.NET via a .NET Excel component.

Spire.XLS for .NET, as a standalone excel component, can help both enterprises and individuals to operate a wide range of tasks in Excel document such as convert excel to other formats, encrypt/decrypt excel, generate different kinds of charts and tables etc. Using this Excel component, you can easily wrap and unwrap through two lines of core code.

Suppose you want to wrap text in A1, you can set up the A1 cell text and wrap properties by Worksheet. Range["A1"].Text and Worksheet.Range["A1"].Style.WrapText = true.
