Thanks for the quick response. I apologize for posting three times. I keep
getting an error that my posts and replies are not posting and being told to
try again... hopefully that won't happen this time.

Word wrap is turned on; however, what happens is that I have space for three
lines of text. As I type those three lines, the words do wrap and fit within
the boundaries of the space of the merged cells. When I type the fourth and
fifth lines of text, I can see the text as I type it but when I move to a
different cell, the text hides under other cells. Also, when I print it
does not print all five lines, just the three that are shown.

So essentially I need to know how to force the cells to change height and
expand to fit the amount of text I type. Is the problem because I cell
merged?!?! If so, how do I enter a large amount of text into one cell and
how to I enlarge that cell to cover a large area of worksheet.

Can you tell I am a total newb? Thanks for the help.

Hi
try 'Format - Cells - alignment' and check 'Word wrap'

Note: an individual cell can't have a different heigth than the other
cells in the same row

I inherited a template that needs a major change in its data areas.
I need
the cells to expand down to show all text entered without changing
the
integrity of the worksheet setup. How would I do this?!?!
