Default Making row automatically expand as text is typed.

I am trying to figure out how to make the size (height) of the row
automatically expand as text is typed into the cell.

It is a comment box and I want to make the size automatically grow when the
users type more than the initial size of the cell. I don't want the users to
have to double click and resize the row themselves.

Any way to do this?

Hi

Can't you just use the "wrap" feature?
right click on the cell, go to format cell, select the alignment tab and
then cehck the Wrap text check box.

I hope this does what you need.

I have the cell formated to "Wrap text" and all that happens is the text
doesn't expand into the column to the right. And it also just keeps the row
height the same.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
