Default How to autofit row height for merged wrapped cells

Hi,

If you have a wrapped cell in Excel 2003 and go past the cell width,
when you press enter, the cell will automatically 'grow' in height to
fit your text.

I need to do this for a merged wrapped cell. Does anyone know if this
is possible?

Thanks,

Michele

Jim Rech wrote a macro called AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight that you may like:

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

Hi Dave,

Well that's cool and everything, but my form is already there and a
macro is not involved (well at this stage). It's a quote form and I
want my customer to include paragraph style text. It's silly to make
him go to a new cell for subsequent rows, especially since he will need
to edit later.

You're great for replying, but I don't think this solution will work
for me.

Thanks,

Michele

Then I think the user will have to resize the rowheight manually.
