how do i make a paragraph appear in one cell area?
Ok, I am using Excel to keep track of my child support payments. But I also
want to be able to list instantances or occurrances like journal entries when problems arise from parent/teacher conferences or bad behavior from my child or my ex. But when I print this out to take to my attorney, I don't want to have several blank pages or pages with one line of text on it. I want the one cell that everything is typed in to be displayed as a paragraph. How can I fix that? |

Hi
i'm actually not 100% clear on what the current problem is .. but using cell comments (insert / comment) to record the 'journal entries' might be a solution - the option for display these are under tools / options / view tab and for printing under file / page setup / sheet tab. -- Cheers JulieD check out www.hcts.net.au/tipsandtricks.htm ....well i'm working on it anyway "mmuradian" wrote in message ...

One option would be to merge several cells so they appear to be one cell.
Just hightlight a range of cells then choose Format, Cell, Allignments Tab. Check Merge Cells and Wrap Text. Then just type info in the merged cell. Craig "mmuradian" wrote in message ...

Yeah, then prepare yourself for the myriad problems that merged cells create
