Default Excel merged cell - can it automatically expand as text is typed?

I have merged two cells and want it to expand (get bigger) as more text is
typed or added.

I'm able to do this with just a single cell (row autofit, wrap text), but
when I merge two or more cells, these options no longer work.

I don't think you can and-in my opinion-it's just another reason to stay away from merged
cells.
