Truncated text in Excel

I can’t the text in my cell to show up after typing a lot of text. I have the Column formatted to wrap text. At a certain point the text at the bottom of the cell is being hidden. I have selected the cell and went to format, row, autofit – nothing, I have adjusted the height manually-nothing. The text is there, because when I click in the cell it is all in the formula bar. I am finding one solution is to click somewhere in the text and hit ALT+Enter and then adjust the cell height. This iscrazy. Any suggestions?
