Default Wraping Text

I selected "WrapText" in a specific cell, in one column, and it made the
whole row that width. How can I adjust it so that the "Wrap Text" only
affects one cell in one column?

Default Wraping Text

How could one cell have a different height than the other cells in the row??

What you may want to do, to get the appearance I believe you want, is to
simply select 2 cells in the same column, and then merge them.

Hi,

Do you really mean that all the columns (not the whole row) have changed
column width? when you apply Wrap text to a cell it changes the row height,
not the column width?

If you mean that when you apply wrap text to a cell the whole row change
"height", that is the way Excel works. You can not size a single cell in a
row to a different height than the rest of the row. You can fake it by
Merging the cell with another cell below or above it and then wrapping.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.
