How do I condense a font in Excel? We are using a condensed font in Word and
would like to carry that through to our Excel documents. But I cannot find
where to do that.

have you tried, from the menu bar: Format/Cells/Font tab

Define what you mean by "condensed"

A new term to me.

A narrower pitch than the regular font, many of the dot matrix printers
made had that as an option button on the panel.

No problem, but as to the OP's posting the info as to what he means is
pretty sparse. But I suspect that they actually referring to having
applied "Condensed" spacing to the text in their document but that word
processor feature isn't available in Excel.
