adjusting cell size in spreadsheets
Hi - I have excel for my apple laptop, and I'd like to find out how I
can adjust the size of the cells. I'm cutting and pasting text from a document onto a spreadsheet, and every so often, a bit of text that I paste over from a document makes the entire cell get very large. I'd imagine I have to highlight the entire cell and select something to fix it...but what? Thanks! |

Rather than paste into a spreadsheet cell, I select the cell and paste into the formula bar. This way, I don't get the over-sized cells. (I use Excel 97.) |

Cell sizes are governed by the row height and column width. Individual cells cannot be sized independently. Sounds like you rows and/or columns are Formatted to "Autofit" and "Wrap Text" You can re-format if you wish at any time.

How do I reformat? Also, can't locate the options for 'autofit' and
'wrap text,' where are they listed? |

To find the Autofit commands.......... Select any cell and FormatRowAutofit. Also FormatColumnAutofit. You can re-size a row or column by hovering cursor over the row or column header until you see a double-headed cross/arrow. Select and drag to the size you wish. To re-size all rows in a selection of rows.....FormatRowHeight. Stick in a number like 12 Gord Dibben Excel MVP On 20 Dec 2005 18:47:45 -0800, wrote: How do I reformat?
