Wrapping Text and Cell Expansion
this is only way as far as I know without some macros
Select the row or rows that you want to change. Point to Row on the Format menu, and then click AutoFit. Tip: To autofit all rows on the worksheet, click the Select All button and then double-click the boundary below one of the row headings. Or select all rows, point to Row on the Format menu, and then click AutoFit.
