or heres the steps:
- right click on the summary tab with the 1 long line
- click format cells…
- click alignment
- put a checkmark next to Wrap text
- hit ok,

you might have to resize your cell, but that should just work. you might want pre-set the text column with the wrap text format checked. no formula is going to do that…you would need vba that checks for chr(10) and changes the formatting.

if that doesnt work,
- assume your “campaign commences email designed leaflet designed” is in cell A1
- then use this quick formula

=len(a1)

and it should show 50 instead of 48…those 2 extra characters are your alt-enters (char(10))…and if the len(a1) formula shows 50, then the layout is the same.
