I made a spreadsheet and made a particular Row able to Wrap Text becuase i'm expecting alot of text in that cell. However, all the rows i have that do NOT have enough text to make it wrap have more Height to them than necessary. If i set the Row Height manually, then they no loger wrap, how can i fix this?
 


Hi,

Use the AutoFit feature.

Select Cells (the Button just above the Row 1 and to the left of Column A)

Double click on any Row and/or Column boundary.

Unfortunatly, when i do that, nothing changes, it's almost as if there were some AFTER Paragraph formatting?
 


Please describe in detail the formatting of the cell(s) that wrap and AutoFit properly and the cell(s) that do not.

Working Cell

Text Align
Horiz - Left
Verti - Top
Wrap Text = True
Font Arial 10


This is the Cell Format for all, whether they work or not.
 


Do you have cells MERGED?

yes, A few at the very top of the spreadsheet where i have my Page Title. Not within the information Table itself.
 


If the AutoFit feature is not working AT ALL, then you are not activating it properly.
