Thank you for your reply Dave.
The number size change is not enough to need widening the cell.
My concern is why do the numbers change to a number sign
ie.### when I make them BOLD font.
I keep a Database for a club, and even when making the initial entry
in Bold font, the number I have in column A immediately changes
to ###'s.
Doing a following row with another new member's details, the problem
may not occur with the numerals remaining as they should.
It only happens with the entry in column A.
I hope this info might give you further ideas Dave.

I'd also change the columnwidth to accept the largest value, but you could
format the cell, too:

Format|cells|Alignment tab
check "Shrink to fit"

But it might not look as good.

When I enter a 4digit number in Column A and highlight to change to Bold

the numbers change to 3 number signs ###.
If I change them back to normal font, they return to number form, but

slightly larger numerals
Not all rows have this problem - maybe only 2 in 5. This has only
recently
begun to happen.
Thanking some clever person in anticipation of some advice.
Bye from Crocketty
