My boss wants to be able to word wrap and unwrap using a type of "toggle"
like when you CTL + X to cut and CTL + V to paste. Is there such a way to do
this?
 
It's easier to record it,(look up Macro in Excel Help and click Create
Macro) and then edit if necessary. You may assign a hot key at the start.
 
Sub Wrap_Text()
With Selection
.WrapText = Not .WrapText
End With
End Sub

If you're not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for
more on "getting started".

or Ron de De Bruin's site on where to store macros.

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and Insert>Module. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run or edit the macro by going to Tool>Macro>Macros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.
