Autosize bug workarounds in Excel 2007 shape textframes

A

Anthony Berglas

XL 2007 only seems to AutoSize the Height of a text box, not the
Width.
This is different from XL 95..2003 which AutoSized both.

This is easily seen from the UI, just create an Autoboxed frame and
type into it, only in XL < 2007 does it get wider.

This makes it difficult to programatically create a text box, and put
some text in it and have the box displayed in a natural width. Same
goes for comments etc.

Any ideas for a work around most appreciated. Eg. Any clean way to
determine the length of a fonted string?

(Guessing the width of fonted strings is very error prone.)

Regards,

Anthony
