Hi All,

Every time I paste a table from Access to Excel, I have to reset the
row height to 12.75 (Excel automatically wraps text and makes each cell
three times its normal height). Is there any way that I can make this
height constant until I change it?

Thank you,
Sara

Hi

I have this problem too - and I move a lot of stuff from Access to Excel. If
you go to Format|Cells and click on the alignment tab and clear the Wrap
Text box (usually requires 2 clicks) it should do what you want. I have
posted in Access and Excel newsgroups to try to find a way round this - but
have had no responses.
Hope this helps.

Andy.

Even though the row heights of a new worksheet show as 12.75, they
aren't actually "set" to that height, which is why data you paste in
can adjust that height. So all you have to do is "set" the row height
before pasting in the data.

Choose the rows in which you want to paste the data (or the entire
worksheet if you want), then do FormatRowHeight, enter a number (or
leave the 12.75 default as is) and click OK . Now the row height is
actually set, and when you paste in the data, the height will not
change.

As an alternative, instead of doing Paste, do EditPaste SpecialText.
That will paste in the data using plain text which won't adjust the
heights. However, being plain text, you'll find yourself having to do
some other formatting to get it to look the way you want.
