How do you get word wrap inside an Excel cell?

Question

This is probably something simple and I'm just missing it: Say I have a cell, and I do NOT want to make it wider (width) but I do have the ability to give it a greater height. Sometimes when I'm typing a long sentence in a cell, the sentence just endlessly continues. Is there a quick and simple way to turn word wrapping on in a cell?
