My user enter text into a form which (text) is later placed in an excel
sheet. The cell where the text is placed is basically a merged cell of four
cells: A1, B1,C1,D1. If the text length fits into the four cells, all the
text is visible. If the text length does not fit into the four cells, part of
the text is not visible: excel creates another line of text in the same cell;
this line becomes visible if my user increases the height of the row (row1)

How can I fix the above issue? I do not wish my users to be manually
increasing the height of the row to view the whole text

Thanks

Try

Range("A1:D1").Rows.AutoFit

If this post helps click Yes

Merged cells will prevent the row autofitting and must be dealt with through
the use of event code behind the worksheet.

For worksheet event code...............

See google search thread for code by Greg Wilson. Watch out for word wrap
in the URL which all one line.
