Default How can I size merged cells to fit the needed rows of text?

I've got data that can contain a long text string for one field. I currently
merge 6 cells across and set the rowheight to 6 times the normal row height,
and enable text wrapping. Sometimes this is too much space, other times it's
not enough. Fonts unfortunately don't space characters uniformly, so I can't
do it based on text length. Is there a way to do this based on how many
breaks Excel puts in when wrapping text, or another method?
