Default Find out, if test doesn't fit in a cell

Hi,

I'm automatically inserting text in Excel cells. The cells height and
width is fixed and shouldn't be changed.

I'd like to automatically reduce font size, if a text doesn't fit.
I would use conditional formatting, but I guess that there's no Excel
function available that would help here. And for some reason the font
size can not be changed by conditional formatting on my system.

So I'd like to use VBA, but how?
The easiest way would be to determine, how much space a text needs and
compare it with the cell width. But how do I get the first parameter?

Another idea would be to set a cell to automatic word wrap. All I need
then is to get the current number of lines. If it's greater then one, I
would reduce the font size. But how to I get the number of lines from an
automaticalley wrapped text?

TIA,
Christian
