Cell Size Question

I used to think that I knew how to size cells exactly and correctly. Now I'm working on an Excel 2000 workbook where cells that have letter characters just sort of size themselves.

This only happens when I set the cells to wrap-around format. When I try to auto-size the cells, they often are either too big or two small (vertically). So I can have a cell that needs two lines of characters, but it autosizes vertically enough for only one line, or two, or three, etc, without any clear reason.

Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks much.
