Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
You can use Data Validation to produce an error message when a value is entered that is not 7 characters.

Highlight column C > Data Validation > Allow: Text length > Data: equal to > Length: 7

Just note that this will allow any string of 7 characters including special characters such as -, ?, & etc.
