Thanks, Carole... I did try that, but then it just moves the blank space to
the *bottom* of the cell. Either way, I end up with a row that's not the
right height for the contents.

Often when I set cells to word-wrap and then auto-fit the row height, cells
with text will end up with a blank line or two at the top. It's not extra
spaces in the text because when I go to the formula bar, there's nothing
before the start of the text. I can manually adjust the size of each row,
but that's a hassle and not very consistent!

Thanks.
