Tab in a cell
Hey all! You know how in excel if you tab, you go to the next cell to the right? How can I tab in a cell, to make an indent? I also have a weird problem with this particular cell (maybe it is due to me spacing instead of tabbing...) In a cell, I have 3 paragraphs of written information. The last three lines however just keep going to the right, instead of wrapping, like I have this cell formatted to do. Any thoughts on how to resolve either of these problems? -- Roz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29746 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=497621 |

Tab in a cell
Thanks, that does indent, but it indents the whole thing. I just want the first sentance of the paragraph indented...I'll try to keep playing with it. -- Roz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29746 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=497621 |
Tab in a cell
Tabbing within the cell isn't really supported in excel.
You could use: =a1&char(9)&b1 (=Char(9) is the tab character) But it won't work like you want. Instead, you'll see a little square. If you add some alt-enters (=char(10)) every 80-100 characters, then I bet the value in that cell starts looking better. Roz wrote: Hey all!

ps. That alt-enter stuff forces a new line within the cell.

the first sentence of the paragraph indented...I'll try to keep playing with it. One way is to use several spaces (rather than a tab character). It's not elegant, but maybe it suits your need. |
