Default autofit does not autofit

I have a 2000 spreadsheet with merged cells in the column that I am entering
text. I cut and paste text from another document into the cell and the rows
do not autofit. I have the cell formatting to wrap text and there is no row
height set. When I manually autofit the row, only one line of text will
show.

Here is an example of text that I am pasting:
To Better Serve You DM
Quantity 1500, 2500, 5M
Flat size 8.5" x 12"
Folded 8.5" x 4
4/4
Tri-fold
Stock Cougar White Card Stock 8 pt or 10
Special Instructions: double perf on a 4" x 6" postcard

Merged cells don't play nice with autofitting rowheights.

Jim Rech wrote a macro called AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight that you may like:

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
