Thank you very much!!!!!!! That changed the problem!!!! I have already had
issues with the instructors not understanding hardware or settings that are
different from one computer to another.

Hi Tanya,

The difference in relationships between pixel sizes and column widths is dependant upon both the screen resolution and the display
driver for the computers concerned. Uninstalling & reinstalling Excel won't change that. You could try changing the screen rsolution
setting via the display driver on your computer (provided it supports the resolution of the other computer, but be aware this
affects all programs and how Windows looks in a general sense.

If your course tutor is trying to get you to do something that relies on pixel sizes as a determinant of column widths, that
suggests a lack of understanding of how MS Windows and MS Excel work on different hardware.

issues.

I am having issues with my column widths. I have not changed any of the
defaults for the program. When I open excel the column width default is 80
not 64. I am taking a course on excel and I can not do my homework because I
cannot get the column width to the right size.
