I have the same problem that the excel file could not set a minimumrow height
as in the past excel version. I'm now using the window XP.
Sorry Jim, I couldn't get what you mean about having a cell off screen on
the row.

I don't think anything changed in Excel 2003. Row heights should autofit
with wrap text cells if the row has not had its height adjusted manually.
If it has it loses it autofit capability until you use Format, Row, Autofit
to get it back.

I think the only way to set a minimum row height is to have a cell off
screen on the row that needs a height of 30, say out in column IV.
