"autofit row ht" in merged cells
 

It seems like I cant have a cell set to "autofit row ht" and merged cells,
which is very frustrating. Basically I would like to have a lot of text in
one large cells, and have the ht automatically adjust. It really seems like
this should be possible.
Thanks!

There are many things that don't work with merged cells. See the archives
of this newsgroup for reasons not to use merged cells.

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.
