Excel Gridlines
I know excel is not a drawing tool.
Nevertheless, I have to draw sometimes simple geometric figures (squares and rectangles) with measurments. This is easiest done when the gridlines are square. The closest I got was: Row hight 4.0, Column width o.42 which looks pretty square but enlarged it is not... Any idea which hights and widths produce a real square? |

Why don't you use the rectangle tool on the Drawing tool bar. When you draw
a rectangle and hold down the shift key as you do it, you get a perfect square. You can then at text to the rectangle. Holding down shift while drawing an oval produces a perfect circle. -- Kevin Backmann "fak119" wrote: I know excel is not a drawing tool.

Thanks, this works fine with single squares and rectangles, but not with a
little more complex "drawings" such as e.g. a floor plan, where the cell width or row hight might correspond to say, 1o cm or inches.

Sounds like you really need Visio, or some other type of charting
application. Visio has templates for floor plans. -- Kevin Backmann "fak119" wrote: Thanks, this works fine with single squares and rectangles, but not with a little more complex "drawings" such as e.g. a floor plan, where the cell width or row hight might correspond to say, 1o cm or inches.
