Changing Row Height/Column Width
Before Excel 2007, in older versions, you could see the row height or column
width change before your eyes with an screen tip indicator while you positioned the mouse pointer on the line between the rows or columns then clicking and dragging to increase or decrease height/width. As you drag the line the number of pixels & units was displayed in a screen tip. Now it seems Excel 2007 doesn't do that. Or is there a way to enable this? If not, why would they disable a valuable time-saving function? |

Changing Row Height/Column Width
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks, Bernard - I tried all 3 options in "ScreenTip style" and none of them seems to enable seeing the pixels/units resizing measurements while dragging to widen or narrow either the column width or row height. Excel Options Popular Top options for working with Excel ScreenTip style +-- Show feature descriptions in ScreenTips +-- Don't show feature descriptions in ScreenTips +-- Don't show ScreenTips None of these 3 are doing the trick. Maybe I have a faulty version of Excel 2007? Or I need to change some hidden code or registry file(s)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Bernard Liengme" wrote: I see the same screen tip when making row height change (or column width) in both Excel versions In XL 2007, try Office button / Excel Options / Popular / top group, check setting for 'screen tip style best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "DJ" wrote in message ...

Changing Row Height/Column Width
DJ:-
I have experimented with two other computers; all show the column/row size when I make an adjustment Do you see a screen tip at other times? Let the mouse pointer hover over Paste (to the left of the Home tab) and you should see a tip for Paste. Is your problem reproducible with another file? Have you got any odd monitor setting (like high contrast)? Are you using Vista with Aero on? Sorry for the Spanish Inquisition but I would love to know the cause of your problem. best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "DJ" wrote in message ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks, Bernard - I tried all 3 options in "ScreenTip style" and none of them seems to enable seeing the pixels/units resizing measurements while dragging to widen or narrow either the column width or row height.

Yes, I can see screen tips when the cursor hovers over Paste. All my Excel
files are not allowing me to see the pixel count. I don't have any odd setting like high contrast. I do have Vista (Home Premium) with Aero on, which is the default setting when I got the laptop.
