With the cursor in the cell, go to Format > Paragraph > Indents and set the line to Single. (I normally use a fixed line height.) Once you set it to Single the cell will expand as necessary for the formula. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
