Here's my situation. I have a text box in column A. In the columns to right is where my data is entered. Sometimes the data in those cells are wrapped into multiple lines, which automatically increases the row height of those cells. I have no problem with those cells adjusting their row height. It is this apparent effect of these cells have on my text box by vertically stretching that I want to stop.

Any ideas on how to keep text boxes from stretching?
