[mso] Re: Excel question

Sandy,

Oddly enough I bumped into exactly the same problem on a project this
week. My research led me to this code which I found in an old issue of
the Excel Experts ezine, here:

http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/eee/eee011.txt

Macro by Jim Rech:

Excel does not support automatically adjusting the row height of a
merged
cell with wrap text set.  This procedure serves as a workaround.

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

It worked for me.

Subject: [mso] Excel question

I have created an Excel form for Employee Reviews. 
 
Comment Cell is a cell that has been merged across the width of the
document and sized to a specific height.
 
Problem: When a user types in the cell, the cell doesn't expand with the
text even though I have the "wrap text" box checked for that cell.
 
Has anyone run into this issue and how did you solve or work around it? 
 
Thanks.
