Hi

I have merged cells A1:E20 inorder to use this area as a memo area for
typing.
However...as we type the data into the merged cells, the edit line above
grows bigger and bigger almost covering what we are typing..
Is there a way around this..
We've had issues using the text box ...so are trying to stay away from
that...
Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks!
Kimberly
