Can a comment box be configured with a set width and grow the height as required to fit the text *as I type* it? It could start as 100 characters wide x 1 line high but when I hit 101 characters it wraps to the next line and the comment box grows by a line vertically to show all the text.

Currently you can set the width and it will wrap at that width but if you're out of room vertically the text disappears below the comment box. You have to grab a handle and manually stretch the box to show all the text.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
I don't believe a comment box can be dynamic like that.....but I'll be interested to see the code, if any !!

"*as I type* it?
