column width
 

If I want my column to be 1" when I print, what number do I put in the
'column width' box?

If you want to set column width, select the column and pull-down:
Format Column Autofit Selection

If you want the header to say "1" instead of "A", then pull-down:
Tools Options General and check the R1C1 box

???? I want my column width to be 1 inch (1"), and my row height to be 1/4
(.25) inch. Stupid Excel, why not have a pixel (or character) to inch (or cm)
converter built in so I know how wide (or tall) my stuff will be when I print
it? AAARRRGGGHHH

column width
 

I have just discovered (maybe I am a slow discoverer) that in Excel 2007
column width measurements are in inches in Page Layout View. When you are in
Normal view, column width is Excel's normal funky measurements.
