Is there a way to expand the height of a row if one of the cells info doesn't fit. I want a row of cells to display their information at all times. I know I can shrink the text to fit, but this makes the information difficult/impossible to read. I want it so that if there is four lines of text in a cell, that row expands to be four rows tall, so that all of the info is present.

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
I am not too sure that this solution works. The form will be given to our users empty. When they begin to enter the info, I want the text to drop to the next line once the end of the cell is hit (Wrap text), but I want the text to be visible. I tried autofit, but that doesn't seem to work; the first line of text remains visible, and that's it.
