Default Auto fit text in cell of a protected worksheet

Good afternoon.

I have a form with protection and validation in several cells; some are left
unlocked/no validation to allow for free form text entries. My problem is
that when i protect the sheet, Excel doesn't auto fit the text in the
column/row and the user is not able to either. (I don't want to allow Format
row height / column width in Protection options, as I don't want any hidden
rows/columns unhidden, which these protection options allow)

Is there a way to allow the user to modify the row height and column with of
the unlocked text cells (as needed) while the sheet remains protected?

Or a way for Excel to do this automatically? I have wrap text selected in
the cell format options.

Thanks! -- Suzanne.
