Did not mean to suggest you were hallucinating.

Poorly worded......should have said "what you are seeing is not normal
behaviour"

Thanks for the feedback.

Well I know Excel can cause all kinds of scenarios but I didn't think it
went as far as hallucination!
You're right, of course. It was the merged cells that messed it up. Should
have thought of that. Undid those, works fine.
Thanks for putting me straight.

You are seeing something other than what you describe.

Unless you have two or more merged cells you are typing into.

I tested this..............

Merged A1:A3 then moved row 3 up to cover 1 and 2

Typed into the cell with wrap text set on.

FormatRowAutofit and A1:A3 increased but rows 1, 2 and 3 did not.

If I set a cell to wrap text, the type in several lines, only that one cell
is adjusted in height - the rest of the row stays at the original height
unless I deliberately click on the row line to adjust it to fit.
I tried formatting the whole row to wrap text but that didn't help.
How do I get the whole row to deepen automatically in response to any cell
within that row being increased in height?
Many thanks
