How do I get warpped data to auto fit in merged cells?
I'm developing a survey form. I want to ask a quesiton and the use four
merged cells to the right of the question to record the answer. I also want the height of the row to automatically grow if the text exceeds the field lenght. The only way I see that happening is for just individual cells. Can I make the function work for merged cells too? If so - how? Thanks, Tom Flaten |

Nope.
Generally, its better to avoid using merged cells as they tend to cause more problems than benefits. Can you just use a large single cell? -- Best Regards, Luke M "Tom Flaten" Tom wrote in message ... I'm developing a survey form.

You can Autofit rows with merged cells only by using VBA.
One of the many drawbacks to using merged cells. If you want to go that route............... See google search thread for code by Greg Wilson. Watch out for word wrap in the URL which is all one line. http://groups.google.com/group/micro...1c160cbeb27874 Note..........this is sheet event code and runs when a cell is changed manually. To store the code, right-click on your sheet tab and "View Code" Copy/paste the code into that sheet module. Alt + q to return to Excel.
