  1. But if the large text string is the result of a formula will the row height automatically change? Does not seem to work for me.

  2. As my understanding of thing, wrap text is applied by excel when you type in the cell. Let say you got a spead sheet that has a thousand rows with text on each of them and a bunch of columns. Wrap text is already applied in the cell. Now you decide to put larger columns. The text gets adjusted, although the row height remain untouch. How could you trigger that in excel so that it adjust each of the row height?

    • Nevermind, found it. Ctrl-A the Sheet and double click between a row will autofit all rows
