Bijay,
Project is not Excel. Excel has feature that Project doesn't and Project
has feature that Excel doesn't. In Project the only columns that will
"wrap" are text based fields and then only if there is a space somewhere
in the text string.

Perhaps the easiest way to wrap text based fields is by grabbing the row
separators and dragging until the full text is viewable in the existing
column width. For the latest versions of Project, this can be done on a
row by row basis or for the whole project. To do it for the whole
project, you can either select all tasks and drag the row separator of
the first task or go to View/Table/More Tables and then hit "Edit". The
wrap feature is called "Row Height" in Project and the setting appears
in the lower right of the Table Definition window.

Hope this helps.

I attended an enterprise PM symposium this summer in St. Louis and mentioned
to Microsoft's attending Project team contact that Microsoft should look at
adding word wrap capability to the product. Project 2007 was previewed at
the event but word wrap was not demonstrated and I do not know if it has the
feature. I go back to Project v4.x and have spent who knows how much time
over the years getting task name field data to fit in views that were shared
with others. I use Project Pro 2003 today and still manually fit data to
support collaboration. Anybody out there listening? Is the feature in the
new release (v12.x) or planned for a future release?

Definitely not in the 2007 release. Multi-level undo and a whole bunch of
other features we've been begging for are there now!
