Size a Cell to a Picture
Is there a good way to size a cell to a picture?
Sizing the cell's height to the picture's height is no problem, and moving the picture to the cell's location is no problem. The problem is sizing the cell's width to the picture's width. ColumnWidth is not in points, and the Range (or Column) object's Width property, which is in points, is read-only. The question has been asked before, but... I tried entering a "0" in a cell and autofitting it, since ColumnWidth is based on the width of a single "0" in the normal font. But when I check the ColumnWidth property, it wasn't exactly 1 as expected. Instead, it was 1.29. Two zeroes ("00") had a ColumnWidth of 2.29. Is the addition of the 0.29 consistent, or does it depend on various unpredictable factors? Is there a better way of doing it than this: 1) Try changing the ColumnWidth property by increasingly larger amounts until the minimum amount is found that actually changes the width, because just trying to change it by 0.01 doesn't have any effect. In a quick test just now, the minimum amount required to cause any change was 0.08, which caused a change of 0.14, but obviously that depends on the normal font and maybe other factors too. 2) Repeatedly change the ColumnWidth property by that minimum amount, checking the resulting Width each time, until the desired Width is reached. Is there a better way? Thanks, Greg |
