autofit does not autofit

[Guest]

I have a 2000 spreadsheet with merged cells in the column that I am entering
text. I cut and paste text from another document into the cell and the rows
do not autofit. I have the cell formatting to wrap text and there is no row
height set. When I manually autofit the row, only one line of text will
show.

Here is an example of text that I am pasting:

Merged cells don't play nice with autofitting rowheights.

Jim Rech wrote a macro called AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight that you may like:
