Using Excel 2003.

I have some rows in various Excel spreadsheets that do not autofit their height correctly.

Autofit gets the height correct in most rows. But a few rows are either too tall with extra white space at the top and bottom. Or not tall enough, with some of the lines of text not showing or only partially showing.

What's the trick to get autofit to work for all rows?

Thanks.

Steve

Highlight the rows, Tools, row, autofit.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

That's what I do, and it works for most rows.

But some rows, as noted in my initial posting, do not autofit properly. They are either too tall or not tall enough.

The rows that do not autofit properly all have text in them.

What's the trick to get autofit to work for ALL of the rows rather than most of them?

I would go to those rows and check to see that the formating for those rows wasn't set to something else previously.

If the alignment or word wrap was set to another setting it may keep you from changing the cell or row properties enmasse.

Today seems like a good day to chew through the restraints.

Hey did you manage to get the autofit feature to work? I'm having the same problem and it's driving me insane, I've been trying everything and googling like crazy but I just can't figure it out!
