That's helpful. Thank you. I had hoped to keep the entries one line high,
so I will make the height fixed as macropod suggest below. That will do it.

This will however have the effect of increasing the height of the row.

I'm working with a spreadsheet and I want to fix the column width more narrow
than my cell contents. If the next column is blank, i do NOT want extra
characters to appear. I don't want them truncated, i just want to restrict
to a set width what I see in that column.

Does anyone know how to do that?
