Default Same column, different cell width at different row

I have tried inserting a break and split, didn't work. I just want to
separate the top half of a page with the bottom half so I can apply different
cell width on the same column. Or how would I be able to do this? Same
column but different cell width.

Thanks!

You can't do that.

You could get kind of close by merging cells.

But it causes more trouble with other stuff (sorting/copy|pasting).

I wouldn't use it.

Select your cells that should be merged, then format|cells|Alignment tab
check the Merge Cells box.

It's nice for viewing, but it's a pain with other stuff.

Glenn, if you simply highlight the rows on the rioght of the spreadsheet that
you want to make bigger (left mouse and drag), then go to format / rows,
change height of rows and you'll have cells the same column width but bigger
height.
