Adjusting Column Size
 
Hi,

Does anyone know how to adjust the width of some cells without altering the
width of the entirm column?

e.g. Cells A1-A20 need to be width 15, but Cells A16 - A30 need to be width
10.

Thanks.

I don't believe you can. I think you'd have to merge two cells for rows 16:30

You could try merging the required rows for colums A & B and resizing column
widths, but presonally I do not like merged cells, they complicate things.
Your post is a little misleading, what size are cells A16-A20 supposed to
be? There is an overlap!

Oh yes, you are right! I meant cells A1-A15 to be width 15, and cells A16 -
A30 to be width 10.

Basically I want the top hald of this column to be wider than the bottom half.

Any ideas?

You could use those merged cells, but I wouldn't.

Lots of things break with merged cells--sorting, copy|pasting.

I'd just make the column wide enough for everything and live with the
difference.

(or use multiple columns -- or use multiple worksheets)
