Maybe you can change your macro to only increase the rowheight. (If the
rowheight after your routine would be smaller than the existing rowheight, then
don't change it.)

cell, not the height based on how much text is in the cell next to it.

Cells A1:C1 are merged and wrap text. I have entered six lines of text
which has automatically adjusted the row height to fit.

Cells D1:H1 are merged and wrap text. I have entered three lines of text
which now automatically adjusts the row height hiding three lines of text
from A1:C1. How do I get all six lines to to show?

Nope. I don't open unsolicited workbooks.

But I looked at the code that Jim posted:
http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...%40tkmsftngp05

And saw this portion.

.RowHeight = IIf(CurrentRowHeight PossNewRowHeight, _
CurrentRowHeight, PossNewRowHeight)

This says to not adjust the rowheight if the current row height is larger than
the possible new row height.

Maybe you made a change that broke this?????

Thanks Dave...here is the code I'm using.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim NewRwHt As Single
Dim cWdth As Single, MrgeWdth As Single
Dim r As Range, c As Range, cc As Range
Dim ma As Range

Set r = Range("A1:AA175")
If Not Intersect(Target, r) Is Nothing Then
Set c = Target.Cells(1, 1)
cWdth = c.ColumnWidth
Set ma = c.MergeArea
For Each cc In ma.Cells
MrgeWdth = MrgeWdth + cc.ColumnWidth
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ma.MergeCells = False
c.ColumnWidth = MrgeWdth
c.EntireRow.AutoFit
NewRwHt = c.RowHeight
c.ColumnWidth = cWdth
ma.MergeCells = True
ma.RowHeight = NewRwHt
cWdth = 0: MrgeWdth = 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub

Where would I insert the code that would leave the row height alone if it is

Maybe you can modify this (modified from a previous tested version--but not
tested this time):

Behind the worksheet:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

if intersect(target,me.range("A1:AA175") is nothing then
exit sub
end if

If Target.MergeArea.Cells(1).Address < Target.Address Then
Call AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight(myActiveCell:=Target)
End If

End Sub

In a general module is a modified version of Jim Rech's code:

Option Explicit
Sub AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight(myActiveCell As Range)
Dim CurrentRowHeight As Single, MergedCellRgWidth As Single
Dim OrigMergeArea As Range
Dim CurrCell As Range
Dim myActiveCellWidth As Single, PossNewRowHeight As Single
If myActiveCell.MergeCells Then
Set OrigMergeArea = myActiveCell.MergeArea
With myActiveCell.MergeArea
If .Rows.Count = 1 And .WrapText = True Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
CurrentRowHeight = .RowHeight
myActiveCellWidth = myActiveCell.ColumnWidth
For Each CurrCell In OrigMergeArea
MergedCellRgWidth = CurrCell.ColumnWidth + MergedCellRgWidth
Next
.MergeCells = False
.Cells(1).ColumnWidth = MergedCellRgWidth
.EntireRow.AutoFit
PossNewRowHeight = .RowHeight
.Cells(1).ColumnWidth = myActiveCellWidth
.MergeCells = True
.RowHeight = IIf(CurrentRowHeight PossNewRowHeight, _
CurrentRowHeight, PossNewRowHeight)
End If
End With
End If
End Sub

Does the event fire at all?

In Jim's code, he has a line like this:

This line will increase the rowheight, but never decrease it.

I was looking through my records and it is Greg Wilson's code I am using

the largest cell and click...just won't do it automatically?

Where would I insert the code that would leave the row height alone if it is

This says to not adjust the rowheight if the current row height is larger than
the possible new row height.

Maybe you made a change that broke this?????

I have applied a macro to automatically adjust the row height when entering

However, when I enter text into a blank cell that is in a row that has text

cell, not the height based on how much text is in the cell next to it.

Cells A1:C1 are merged and wrap text. I have entered six lines of text
which has automatically adjusted the row height to fit.

Cells D1:H1 are merged and wrap text. I have entered three lines of text
which now automatically adjusts the row height hiding three lines of text
from A1:C1. How do I get all six lines to to show?

Keep the code that I took from Jim Rech.

But replace the worksheet_change event code with this:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:AA175")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If

If Target.Cells(1).Value = "" Then Exit Sub

Call AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight(myActiveCell:=Target)

End Sub

hit ctrl-r to see the project explorer
select your project

Paste Jim's code into that window.

Thanks Dave...here is the code I'm using.

Where would I insert the code that would leave the row height alone if it is
larger than the possible new row height.

Thanks

CurrentRowHeight, PossNewRowHeight)

This says to not adjust the rowheight if the current row height is larger than
the possible new row height.

Maybe you made a change that broke this?????

Maybe you can change your macro to only increase the rowheight. (If the

don't change it.)

I have applied a macro to automatically adjust the row height when entering
text into merged cells. It works fine when the whole row has no text in it.
However, when I enter text into a blank cell that is in a row that has text
in it, the row height adjusts to the amount of text I enter in the blank
cell, not the height based on how much text is in the cell next to it.

Cells A1:C1 are merged and wrap text. I have entered six lines of text
which has automatically adjusted the row height to fit.

Cells D1:H1 are merged and wrap text. I have entered three lines of text
which now automatically adjusts the row height hiding three lines of text
from A1:C1. How do I get all six lines to to show?

Thanks,

Gary

No thanks to the webex stuff.

If you want to send me the file, make it small sample. If you can't do that,
create a new workbook and set it up with enough data (with the code).

Dave...It's not working so I must be doing something wrong. My company has a
subscription to WebEx. Would you be interested in seeing the worksheet
online. I can conference you into my computer over the internet so you see
what I have without me sending you the file?

Thanks,

Gary

Put Jim's code in a General module.

Open your workbook
Open the VBE
hit ctrl-r to see the project explorer
select your project
Insert|Module

Paste Jim's code into that window.

Dave...I'm not sure I understand...and forgive my stupidity...this is all
very new to me. Where should the Jim Rech code be? I right clicked on the
sheet tab/View Code and then pasted the code. In the left drop down menu it
has (General) and iin the right drop down it has AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight.
What is the worksheet_change event code? And where would this code go?

Thanks,

Gary

Keep the code that I took from Jim Rech.

But replace the worksheet_change event code with this:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:AA175")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If

If Target.Cells(1).Value = "" Then Exit Sub

Call AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight(myActiveCell:=Target)

End Sub

I was looking through my records and it is Greg Wilson's code I am using
which he may have gort from Jim.. Anyway, I tried putting the additional line
in several places but I still can't get it to work. It will if I go back to
the largest cell and click...just won't do it automatically?

Thanks,

"Dave Peterson" wrote:

In Jim's code, he has a line like this:

.RowHeight = IIf(CurrentRowHeight PossNewRowHeight, _
CurrentRowHeight, PossNewRowHeight)


This line will increase the rowheight, but never decrease it.

You'll need something like that in your code.

Does the event fire at all?

Dave...I copied the modified version to my worksheet and the row height is

Maybe you can modify this (modified from a previous tested version--but not
tested this time):

Behind the worksheet:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

if intersect(target,me.range("A1:AA175") is nothing then
exit sub
end if

If Target.MergeArea.Cells(1).Address < Target.Address Then
Call AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight(myActiveCell:=Target)
End If

End Sub

In a general module is a modified version of Jim Rech's code:

Option Explicit
Sub AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight(myActiveCell As Range)
Dim CurrentRowHeight As Single, MergedCellRgWidth As Single
Dim OrigMergeArea As Range
Dim CurrCell As Range
Dim myActiveCellWidth As Single, PossNewRowHeight As Single
If myActiveCell.MergeCells Then
Set OrigMergeArea = myActiveCell.MergeArea
With myActiveCell.MergeArea
If .Rows.Count = 1 And .WrapText = True Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
CurrentRowHeight = .RowHeight
myActiveCellWidth = myActiveCell.ColumnWidth
For Each CurrCell In OrigMergeArea
MergedCellRgWidth = CurrCell.ColumnWidth + MergedCellRgWidth
Next
.MergeCells = False
.Cells(1).ColumnWidth = MergedCellRgWidth
.EntireRow.AutoFit
PossNewRowHeight = .RowHeight
.Cells(1).ColumnWidth = myActiveCellWidth
.MergeCells = True
.RowHeight = IIf(CurrentRowHeight PossNewRowHeight, _
CurrentRowHeight, PossNewRowHeight)

End With
End If
