Default Text control won't expand

I have text controls that are word wrapped and a 250 size. Can enter the
text, and it does wrap, but the size of the control won't expand to see all
the text that is entered. Some people will enter 3 words, some a paragraph,
so the text control needs to expand the cell instead of having to lock the
cell size to the largest needed. Any ideas how to overcome?

Set the AutoSize property to True or add a vertical scrollbar.
