Entering wrapping text

[Pete Fraser]

I have two issues when entering text in an Excel cell.
I format the text to wrap, and the row height increases
to accept additional text as I type. Sometimes this stops
happening, and I have to resize the row manually.
How do I control this? Also, although the row size
increases as I add text, it doesn't seem to decrease if
I delete text. Is there any way to make this happen?

When I format the text as "general" it displays correctly
in the cell (although in the sample pane it displays as
##################). When I format the text as
text it displays as ################### in both the
call and the sample pane.

Thanks for any advice.
