The row height of this row in worksheet probably was changed. Try to set row height to AutoFit preformatted or make it in code:

oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With oExcel
	.Workbooks.Open('e:\testfile')
	.WorkSheets(1).Activate
	.ActiveSheet.Rows("3:3").AutoFit
	.ActiveSheet.Cells(3,1).Value = 'Very long string from VFP 0123456789'
	.ActiveSheet.Cells(3,1).WrapText = .T.    && It works for me
	.visible = .T.
EndWith

HTH,
Alex

>Unfortunatly that does not solve it..I have tried to 'wrap text' by formatting the cell before population and tried to 'wrap text' through automation after population.
