There is a section of this form (24 merged rows) that the writer will need to
type in comments. If the sheet is protected and the sentence is too long, the
writer cannot merge one row to another.

You'll have to explain why you would need merged cells for a fill-in the
blanks form.

Have you tried wrap text and autofit?

How much text are you attempting to enter in a cell?

Excel will allow 32767 chars per cell but will display only 1024 of those in
the cell.

Merging several cells will not increase that limit............you still have
one cell.

Try an Alt + Enter every 100 chars to increase the display limit.

The layout is a simple letter size fill-in the blanks form with no macros and
some cell validations. I have tried inserting a text box but I cannot adjust
the paragraph spacing.
