You can Autofit rows with merged cells only by using VBA.

One of the many drawbacks to using merged cells.

If you want to go that route...............

See google search thread for code by Greg Wilson. Watch out for word wrap
in the URL which is all one line.

Note..........this is sheet event code and runs when a cell is changed
manually.

To store the code, right-click on your sheet tab and "View Code"

Copy/paste the code into that sheet module.

Alt + q to return to Excel.

I have merged cells across the bottom of a worksheet for a comment area. I
have formatted the text to wrap. How do I get the area to auto format the

I saw an explanation once, didn't really understand it and can't locate it
to try and decipher. It said something about BTW code.

I would appreciate simple directions. Thank you!!
