Hi,
I have the code below that doesn't work correctly. It changes the width of the comment box ok but the height is not correct (too high).
Can any suggest what is wrong with it, or an alternative? I need the box to have a maximum width and the height to adjust accordingly to suit the text in the box.
Many thanks.

VBA Code: 
Dim lArea As Long
With Range("D12").Comment

    .Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True

    If .Shape.Width > 400 Then
        lArea = .Shape.Width * .Shape.Height
        .Shape.Width = 400
        .Shape.Height = (lArea / .Shape.Width)
    End If
   
End With

The height of the shape depends on the font and font size.
But if you use a letter like "Tahoma" or "Calibri" and a size of 10, you could use the following:

If you use another font or another font size, then change 100, if the font size is less (ex 8), then you increase to 140.

Rich (BB code): 
Sub com2()
  Dim lArea As Long, h As Long, n As Long
  With Range("D12").Comment
    n = WorksheetFunction.RoundUp(Len(.Text) / 100, 0)
    .Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
    h = .Shape.Height
    If .Shape.Width > 400 Then
      .Shape.Width = 400
      .Shape.Height = h * n
    End If
  End With
End Sub

Hola estimado.
Está muy bueno, pero tengo un problema que su macro me resuelve mal
Cuando hay saltos de renglon en el comentario.

He intentado algunas pruebas, pero no lo logré.
Si tiene alguna idea, será mas que bienvenida.

Hello dear.

It's very good, but I have a problem that your macro solves me wrong

When there are line breaks in the comment.



I have tried some tests but failed.

If you have any ideas, it will be more than welcome.
