Merged cell text does not wrap
I have a large document that has multiple cells with a large amount of text.
Each of these cells has been merged into mutliple other cells due to the layout of the spreadsheet. I have text wrap turned on. The problem I am having is that the last cell will not wrap. I have tried the following: 1. Adding in hard returns (alt Enter) at the end of the text and in the middle of the text. This still does not force the last line to wrap. 2. I have adjusted the column height, including Auto-fit, but it still won't wrap 3. The only way I can get the text to show on the screen is if I keep adjusting the column width. Then eventually all the text appears on the screen but won't print to the page. I am thinking this is all being caused by the 1,024 character visibility limit in excel, but I was hoping someone could confirm that. I was also hoping someone might know another work around. Thanks |

Wrap text will work with merged cells. What won't work is Autofit. You need event code to make meged cells autofit. See this google post for code. http://groups.google.com/group/micro...c2a071e4c9610a Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 4 Dec 2007 18:08:00 -0800, Jessica wrote: I have a large document that has multiple cells with a large amount of text.
