Not sure if I understand but hit F2 to Edit Cell. When done adding your text go to Format, Cells, Alignment and select "Wrap Text".
When adding your text you may need to add spaces in between the words in order to get it to separate into the lines you want.

You can break a long text entry on a spreadsheet into separate lines by positioning the cursor in the cell entry where you want the new line to start and pressing Alt+Enter. Excel automatically wraps the text in the cell, according to the cell's column width and the position of the line break.
