Default Format/Row/Autofit

Can someone please tell me why my text will not fit in
Autofit row. It just needs to be a little bit wider. It
never used to do this, is it because I'm now using Windows
XP with Excel 2000?

Wider/skinnier refers to Column.

Taller/shorter refers to Row.

Try FormatColumnAutofit.

Are any of the cells "merged"?

Row Autofit doesn't work properly with merged cells.

Excel has a problem auto-fitting merged cells.

You can resize manually or via Macro. Jim Rech has written
code for this.

Note also a recent adaptation of this code by Greg Wilson.

If not merged, did you recently manually re-size the row(s)?

This can screw up Autofit. Select all rows and FormatRowsAutofit again.

Is wrap-text enabled?

Thank you for your response. The cells are not merged and
I have not manually resized them, wrap text is enabled.
After realizing none of this worked I did have to go in
and resize them manually, but I really appreciate the code
and link reference, I'll check them out. Thanks again.
