    Angry Resizing rows

    When I have too much text in a cell, auto-resizing will not "stretch" the row height enough to see all of the text. Please help, I've been struggling with this issue forever.

    Re: Resizing rows PLEASE HELP

    By "auto-resizing" are you referring to:

    Home - Cells - Format - AutoFit Row Height?

    If not, give that a try.

    Re: Resizing rows

    The max row height in Excel is 409.5 points. If you want a row with a hieght greater than 409.5, you can merge cells. You can also make the cells wider to fit more text. Those are the only options that I'm aware of.
    Is your code running too slowly?
    Does your workbook or database have a bunch of duplicate pieces of data?
    Have a look at this article to learn the best ways to set up your projects.
    It will save both time and effort in the long run!

    There is a 3rd option:

    Use a smaller font size

    You could also try using a text box

    Smile Re: Resizing rows

    I am refering to AutoFit Row Height.

    Its not that I've hit the max cell height, for some reason past a certain point excel only expands the cell to 80~90% of the height of the full contents, leaving some of the text still hidden.

    Appreciate the humor , but any other ideas? (like a macro or something)
