Chris, thank you for the examples. I think that the text frame will not work as I'm looking at individual cells? But with your example I was able to think it through. (And also thanks - yes I did want to change tracking.) Here is my code chunk so shrink down the contents of a cell to make it fit on one line: ' count the text lines to see if it overflows and wraps to another line cell_lines = MyTable.Rows.Item(row_loop).Cells.Item(column_loop).TextLines.Count 'if it wraps to another line the text line count will be over 1 Do While cell_lines > 1.5 ' get the current tracking / MyInsertionpoint = text just placed in the cell MyIn_Tracking = MyInsertionpoint.Tracking 'compute a new tracking of current - 10 MyIn_New_Tracking = MyIn_Tracking - 10 ' set the new tracking MyInsertionpoint.Tracking = MyIn_New_Tracking ' count the text lines to see if it overflows and wraps to another line cell_lines = MyTable.Rows.Item(row_loop).Cells.Item(column_loop).TextLines.Count Loop Thanks, iolaire
