Default Row Height

Is it possible to set up rows or cells so that the row height would increase
automatically to show the whole contents of a cell (data exceeds width of
cell). Cell has been set to Wrap Text.

Many thanks

Al

Default Row Height

Is it possible to set...

That's Excel's default behavior, although it does not apply to a merged
cell. A row will increase height automatically when you enter long text in
a 'wrap text' cell, unless you have manually set its row height. When you
override the automatic setting Excel goes with your manual setting. To undo
the manual setting and get back automatic row height setting use Format,
Row, AutoFit.

Hi PE, Jim,

See my post

for a quick/simple way to increase your default row height while
preserving autofit capabilities.
