How do I change cell width from line to line?
I want to create a few columns with cell widths that are larger than the
standard width I am using, then go back to the standard width. I have seen that people do it all the time, but I'm a relative novice at Excel. Also, my Excel program is in German but my German fluency is at an intermediate level, thus it is a bit more challenging for me to simply experiment, so if there are any people with the German version of Excel that would be hlpful, but not necessary. I can translate from instructions from the English version. Thanks! |

How do I change cell width from line to line?
The cell widths are fixed for the whole column. The only way to
achieve what you describe is to use two (or more) cells in adjacent columns and to merge these together - however, this can cause problems with other things that you might like to do, so it is not advised. Hope this helps. Pete On Jan 9, 10:52*am, Aachensam wrote: I want to create a few columns with cell widths that are larger than the standard width I am using, then go back to the standard width.

Usually all the cell in a column have the same width. You can get around
this limitation by merging adjacent cells in certain rows. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200825 "Aachensam" wrote: I want to create a few columns with cell widths that are larger than the standard width I am using, then go back to the standard width.

Aachensam
If all you are trying to do is increase the size of an entire column, goto the top of the column and place your curser between any two of the column letters. When you are in the right place your curser will change to a doubly direction arrow, click and drag it to the desired width. Or you can, with the column selected or at least a cell within that column, goto FormateCloumnWidth and enter a width there and it will change. Or, again with the column or at least a cell with in the desired column, change the font size and it will change the size of the column to accomodate that font. There are other ways but this should get you started.
