Hi
Tricky to do in a consistent, automated and attractive way. Excel
doesn't do attractive on the whole. You would have to get into
character widths I reckon - more trouble than it is worth?
I would just set the column width and turn on text wrapping for that
column (Cell format, alignment, wrap text).

Is there a way to tell Excel to resize or redimension cell A1 so that
my string completely fills the cell in a nice looking manner??? *I
basically want any arbitrary string that I type to completely visible
and contained within cell A1 in a nice looking way.

thank you
