Begging everyone's indulgence with an old Q:

I'm using a somewhat dated version of Excel. (Where it says "Tools" on
the menu, it means "polished stones".)

In the past, Excel couldn't autosize merged cells--thereby preventing,
oh, that small segment of Earth's population that is actually literate
from writing prose in Excel, without having to eyeball and manually
adjust the height of every miserable row thruout your entire workbook
containing prose wrapped across merged cells.

A quick search of microsoft.public.excel.* shows that many ancestors
of Homo fenestra have asked this Q.

So has this glaring deficiency been fixed yet? If so, in what version?

In fact, if Microflot has fixed it, I will junk the pirated versions
of Excel I've been using since the late Pleistocene and go out and buy
it, it's THAT important a feature.

Thanks much.
