Maybe you should consider using textboxes instead of cells to contain such
large chunks of text; these are resizable.


Thanks, Bob. Can you give me a little more information on what you mean?
I'm not sure what a "textbox" is.

From the user's perspective, the important thing is that they click where
they want to type, and start typing, and when they're done (and leave the
cell by clicking somewhere else) they can see what they typed. I think it
might be confusing if, upon clicking in a cell, the visuals changed (in the
way that they do when I embed something like a Wordpad doc).
