How do you alter a column size?

If you want to make column A bigger, place the cursor on the line which is between column A and column B.

The mouse cursor changes to a line with one arrow on the left and one arrow on the right.

Click and hold then move the cursor left to make column A smaller or right to make column A bigger.

Move your cursor to the column header where there is a separation
between columns. You'll see it change to a vertical line with an arrow
pointing to each side when. When your cursor takes that shape left
click and drag to right to widen the column or drag left to make it
narrower.

The same technique is used for adjusting row heights.

I guess the fact that you are not posting directly to a newsgroups encourages
further misuse of newsgroups, but posting to more than one Excel newsgroup
wastes other people's time. The fact that excelforum is not suppressed
from Google webpage searches is another big problem that wastes people time
but is one that you have no control over.

The same people are in the newsgroups and it is the newsgroups where your
questions are usually answered nothing to do with excelforum.

Also see the other newsgroup where you posted.
