Default Auto Row Height with Wrapped Text in Merged Cells Problem

I can't get my spreadsheet to automatically change the row height when using
text wrapping IF I'm working with several merged cells in adjacent columns.
It works fine on a single cell but not with merged cells. (I have tried
selecting FORMAT, Rows, AutoFit) Any suggestions?

I start with a macro that Jim Rech shared:

You need VBA to assist with this.

I would not use merged cells at all if they can be avoided.

See google search thread for code by Greg Wilson. Watch out for word wrap
in the URL which is all one line.

Note..........this is sheet event code and runs when a cell is changed
manually.

To store the code, right-click on your sheet tab and "View Code"

Copy/paste the code into that sheet module.

Alt + q to return to Excel.
