It looks like a corruption of the Preferences for Word.
You might want to go in ~/Library/Preferences and move all Word
preferences to the Desktop.
Relaunch Word to see if it fixes the issue,

Word wrapping paragraphs within cells
Hi everyone, I support a user who stores narrative data within a spreadsheet. They want to know why Excel 2000 SR-1 inconsistently wraps text within a cell after the narrative exceeds 8 lines. This occurs regardless of cell height. They also want to know how to fix it so the text wraps consistently regardless of narrative length. I know the obvious answer (store the data somewhere else) - but does anyone have any more politically acceptable ideas? Thanks in advance. I don't store that much text in cells, but you may want to have them try putting some alt-enters in their text. Exce...
