How can I get a cell in Excel to automatically adjust its height to fit the wrapped text contents? [duplicate]
I have a cell with wrapped text content in Excel and I want to format the cell so that its height will adjust to fit the content which can span over several lines. How can I achieve this behavior?

To adjust the height of the row to fit all the text in a cell, follow these steps:
Select the row.
In Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and in earlier versions of Excel, point to Row on the Format menu, and then click AutoFit.
In Microsoft Office Excel 2007, click the Home tab, click Format in the Cells group, and then click AutoFit Row Height.
Also Works when all the rows are selected
Try
Select the column -> right-click column -> Format Cells -> Alignment tab -> Wrap text
Note that autofit doesn't work on merged cells. You have to do it manually.
See this Microsoft answer:
You cannot use the AutoFit feature for rows or columns that contain merged cells in Excel
If it doesn't automatically do it, then place your cursor over the small line between row numbers (ex: between 1 and 2) and double click, this will resize the row (directly above the small line, in the example: 1) so that everything is visible (from a vertical aspect).
