Default Why won't my text fully display with word-wrap and merged cell

I am currently experiencing the same problem with Excel only wrapping
certain lines within a cell. This originally occured in a merged cell,
but I experienced the same problem when working with an unmerged cell.
I generally choose to use merged cells for this template because single
row does not provide enough vertical space to meet my needs. I don't
think this is related to the height of the row because manually
adjusting the row height before or after entering the text does not fix
the problem. Hopefully there are other solutions out there somewhere.

You could use event code to autofit the rows with the merged cells.

OR....you coud get rid of the merged cells which can cause no end of problems
with copying, sorting, pasting, filtering and as you have
learned.....autofitting.

The code can be found here.

I am having the same problem as Will DeLoach.

I have identified the problem to be :
auto row height does not work on merged cells.

If in there are unmerged columns in same row, the auto height will work on
the unmereged cells.

I have tried to do an auto height by highlighting row and clicking on row
hight, this also does not work.

It is really annoying to have to adjust height manually, as this needs to be
done regularly and if you do a global auto adust row hight, the manual row
height reverts back.

Does anybody have an easy work around that does not involve manual
adjustment of row height ?
