I Googled. I googled some more. I found lots of blogs where people asked in the comments how to wrap text in a CFGRID tag, but either no answer was given or the format was Flash.
Well, for the sanity of those on the same mission I was on, I shall blog the solution that satisfied my quest. (It may or may not satisfy yours depending on what you're trying to achieve.)
A simple line of CSS did the trick in my use case:
div .x-grid-cell-text{white-space:normal;}
UPDATE: To fix IE, add display:block; to the rule above.
That's it, one line of CSS. Hope it helps!

It's true; Adobe sells ColdFusion. In fact, they have for a few years now. Ever since they acquired Macromedia.
Gotcha...Just like last time.

Chrome works if you add display:block;
Comment from Alex Yohn on 9/18/2009
Did discover that the fix does not work in Chrome, but IE 7, IE 8, FF 3.x, and Safari (win) 4.0x. (Haven't tested MACs yet.)

Actually, I found an issue. With CF9 (yeah I know...beta), you must edit the ext-all.css to get this effect to work. Line 2114 is the:
.x-grid3-cell-inner, .x-grid3-hd-inner{
overflow:hidden;
-o-text-overflow: ellipsis;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
padding:3px 3px 3px 5px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Change the white-space:nowrap; to white-space: normal;
Done!

I used the hack on my cfgrid. When it first loads the grid the wrap doesn't work but if I click on the column name then it will wrap correctly and show me all the information. So I still have the problem on the initial loading of the form. I hate IE.

Angela - thanks this was very helpful. Have you found a way to wrap the text inside of the editing area?
For example, I have a word-wrapped cell with 3 lines of text and double click to edit it - but it shows the contents in one long line.
Thanks for the help,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
I didn't see that behavior on mine I don't think... If you send me a link to look at your example I can see what yours is doing differently. (Sorry for not replying sooner.) If you've already solved the problem, please share the solution.
Good luck to you! ~Angela

That actually failed for me on IE7 with an html cfgrid, but the following works great:
.x-grid-row td {white-space:normal)
Thanks for sharing Brian. I have yet to check it out to see why things worked differently for me but I'm glad to hear you've got a solution that works for you. I may need it some day! :-) ~Angela

FINALLY!!!! Very well then! I was searching second day in a row for this simple solution. I was supposed to give up...Thanks!
Great; glad to help! ~Angela

Good one! I did not think of introspecting the CSS and modifying it.
Only bummer is it does not work in IE, but i came close to getting it to work with this:
td {word-wrap:break-word;width:50px;left:0;}
Of course applying to all TD's is not the greatest, but it appears this word-wrap css only works on td. it did not work on div's.
Thanks Chad... I'll have to go back and see if it worked for me in IE or not, it might have been due to a more specific rule that I used rather than what I posted. I'll post back my findings later.
As for re-defining the td, if you place the entire cfgrid in a div and id that div, <div id="divGrid"> you can make a more specific rule , #divGrid td which will limit the wrap effect to that table only.
I'll be giving your code a whirl too, as I had not thought to do break-word like that. Thanks again! ~Angela
