Default Two different views

Joe,
One option is to create a checkbox on your form (use Control
Toolbox ... View==Toolbars==Control Toolbox) and then add the code below
in the sheet. Add checkbox and then right click==View code.

Any range of cells selected will wrap text/unwrap text.

HTH

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Selection.WrapText = CheckBox1 <=== Add this line
End Sub

Hi George,

Thank you for the reply. That's what I'm after but I want the users to have
an easy way to do it like a menu item or button. Any ideas?

Thanks again,
Joe

Goto FORMAT CELLS ALIGNMENT
Turn the WRAP TEXT check box on for the notes column

Is that what you are after?

Hi,

I am using Excel 2000 and have rows of data, each row representing one
person like this (simplified):

Name Age Notes
xxx 44 blah blah blah...
yyy 27 yada yada
zzz 33 more more...

The problem is the Notes field is sometimes long and makes the row height
higher than the rest of the rows. I want to be able to able to see it as
above and like this (especially when printing):

Name Age Notes
xxx 44 blah blah blah
blah blah
yyy 27 yada yada
zzz 33 more more
more


Is there a way to add a button or something to switch between the two
"views"? Also, I have multiple pages with the same problem. Thank you for
any help or ideas.

Thank you,
Joe
