Excel was not designed/developed as a word processor but as number cruncher.

That's why MS developed the Office Suite of Applications............something
for everyone.

Character spacing is not a feature supported by Excel.

You can play around with some of the FormatCellsAlignment for indents and
justification but very little else.

In MSWord, the Format Font operation includes a tab to control
Character Spacing. I don't see that feature in Excel. Is that
feature truly missing from Excel (2003), or am I just overlooking it?

I would like to be able to expand text spacing by a chosen number of
points.
