Well, thanks for trying, Dick. What I've been doing is after writing
everything (14,000+ rows at last count), is doing AutoFit over the entire
range; but since that makes some rows very small, I looped back through and
reset the smaller ones to a greater height for easier reading. I'll play
with your suggestion: while I'm on that row, Auto fit and, if less than, set
bigger. It might take a bit more time on that iteration, but it might save
more time on an overall loop-through.

I appreciate the help. Have a good one.

That stinks. Unless you can set the row height as you're writing the
values
(i.e. you're already looping through the cells to write the values and you
set the row height at the same time), I think you're stuck looping through
them to set the row height. If you can do at the same time, you would
save
one loop, but still not a very elegant solution.

Thanks for the reply, Dick. The spreadsheet is an index of reports
being
processed. As each report is opened for processing, the code reads a
number
of text strings and writes these strings into a "template" Excel file.
If
I
set the heights prior to writing the text, the text is truncated; both
the
height and width are set, and text overflowing those borders doesn't
show.
I wish there was a row height setting of "at least" (like there is with
Word
tables). BTW, I've got XL2k, if that makes a difference.

How is the data getting into Excel? If you set all the row heights to
25.5
before the data is entered, then only those rows that need it should
expand.
I didn't test that though. If you can't set the row height before the
data,
then I think you're stuck with iterating through them.

I create a spreadsheet using code. Several columns are formatted
with
Wrap
Text on, so if there is a lot of text, the row expands to handle it.
If
there isn't, though, I wind up with some comparatively skinny rows.
I
would
like to set all my rows heights to at least 25.5; if, however, text
in
the
row is making row height greater then 25.5, don't touch it.
(Several
answers to the first post gave me code to set every row to 25.5.
Thank
you,
but that will set expanded too narrow to read all the text inside.)

At the moment, the only way I can think of to accomplish this is by
iterating through every row using the code below. That's a lot of
time
over
several thousand rows. Is there a faster way to accomplish this
using
a
range?

For iRow = numRow To 2 Step -1
If Rows(iRow).RowHeight < 25.5 Then
Rows(iRow).RowHeight = 25.5
End If
Next iRow
