Concatenation formula loses text wrap formatting

[Guest]

Hello,

I am using XL2003 on WinXP.

I have a concatenation formula that pulls text from 2 other worksheets. All
cells involved are formatted with Merge & Center and text wrap. The result
is that the first cell brought in is formatted correctly (text wraps), the
second cell loses the wrap.

Is there any way to force the text wrapping on the results?

Thank you for any information you can provide,
Diane

Hi
format the target cell also with word wrap and it should work

Hi,

Already tried that with no luck. Any other ideas?

Thank you, Diane

Hi
post your exact formula and the entries in your source cells

Merged cells will allow "wrap text" from Format>Cells>Alignment but..........

Excel has a problem auto-fitting merged cells.

You can resize manually or via Macro. Jim Rech has written
code for this.

Note also a recent adaptation of this code by Greg Wilson.

The best cure is DON"T USE MERGED CELLS. They cause no end of problems with
copying, pasting, sorting, filtering.

Thank you.

I hear you on "don't use merged cells"! But you know how it is, this person
is insisting...

Thank you all for your quick response.

Happy Holidays!
