    format a merged cell to grow (Heighth)

    I've merged a row of Cell's together for a Business Form that I've created in
    Excel. I have selected both "Merge Cells" & "Wrap Text" to format these
    cells. However, when enough text is entered into this cell to actually wrap
    down to the next line - all of the text will not display. Any text that has
    wrapped is not visible. Isn't there someway to format the Merged Cell to
    grow with the wrapped text so it's all visible?? It works fine in a normal
    cell - it's only the Merged Cells that I run into this problem with.
    SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks

    If you manually adjust the rowheight, can you see all the text?

    Merged cells and autofitting of rows don't play nice together.

    If that didn't help...

    If you add alt-enters (to force new lines within the cell) every 80-100
    characters, you'll be able to see more characters.
