Default Protection and row height

So we're doing the same thing and I can adjust rows heights and you can't.
There is something else going on I guess but I cannot think of what it can
be. I don't suppose there are any macros running that reset protection?
Sorry, no other ideas. If you open the workbook again and disable macros
you could check that out pretty quickly. Does this problem exist on other
machines? You could send me the workbook if you wanted. Clear all the data
out first if that's a concern.

| Thanks Jim. You stated quite precisely. Strange very strange, i select
| "protect", check Format columns, format rows in the 'allow' list, key in
| password. Try to adjust row height, wont let me, i go into unprotect, back
| into protect and the rows, columns boxes are unchecked. Quite frustrating
| indeed. I appreciate you're trying to help me.

| | Greetings. I have a worksheet that contains some locked cells. The
sheet
| | also has merged cells (yes i know BIG mistake, but due to inputs in
above
| | rows, not much choice). I've copied the macros found on this site to
Auto
| | fit row and columns w/protection, etc. All very good.
| |
| | My problem. I want the user to be able to manually stretch the row
| height,
| | usually the text is copied and pasted into the cell, too many rows of
| text.
| | The row doesn't autofit to the text due to the amount that's pasted
there.
| |
| | When i go to protect the worksheet i select allow Format rows, Format
| | columns, but manually increase the row height. When i unprotect
Format
| | rows/Format columns isn't checked?
| |
| | Again, i want the user to be able manually increase row height on a
| | protected sheet. Thanks!
