From: amy jo amy on 14 Mar 2010 13:55 It seems like I cant have a cell set to "autofit row ht" and merged cells, which is very frustrating. Basically I would like to have a lot of text in one large cells, and have the ht automatically adjust. It really seems like this should be possible. Thanks!
From: "David Biddulph" groups [at] on 14 Mar 2010 14:12 There are many things that don't work with merged cells. See the archives of this newsgroup for reasons not to use merged cells. -- David Biddulph "amy jo" <amy jo(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3EEB8845-7101-4B01-8EB3-6B7046657066(a)microsoft.com... > It seems like I cant have a cell set to "autofit row ht" and merged cells, > which is very frustrating.

You can Autofit rows with merged cells only by using VBA. One of the many drawbacks to using merged cells. If you want to go that route............... See google search thread for code by Greg Wilson. Watch out for word wrap in the URL which is all one line. http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.excel.misc/browse_frm/thread/2293ac4e6373c4d3/ca1c160cbeb27874?lnk=st&q=&rnum=4#ca1c160cbeb27874 Note..........this is sheet event code and runs when a cell is changed manually. To store the code, right-click on your sheet tab and "View Code" Copy/paste the code into that sheet module. Alt + q to return to Excel.
