Default How do a make a column wider than the screen?

I have a column with a cell content longer the myscreen. After I dragged the
line to make it wide, I arrived at the right end of the srcreen and i can't
drag it anymore.How do i make that column wider?The data in that column is
right know spread over 2 columns and I need to make it fit in 1 single
column . Any suggestion?

Change the zoom factor to something smaller (like 25%) and you'll see more
screen realestate.

Or use format|column|Width and type what you want.
(xl2003 menus)

I know this isn't a great solution, but you can change the magification of
the screen from 100% to 75% or 50%.

Use formula is instead of cell value is where A1 is the cell wikth the
conditional formating

condition 1
=IF(A1=TODAY(),TRUE,FALSE)

Add second condition
condition 2 (within 7 days)
=IF(A1+7=TODAY(),TRUE,FALSE)


A day is one so adding 7 is equivalent to within 7 days
