Printing Spreadsheets
Hi. I wonder if you can help me? I am trying to print out an excel
spreadsheet but am having trouble with getting text to fit within different cells. I have over 1000 rows of data, mainly text, and it goes across 8 columns. The first three columns are the widest, and I have selected for the text to wrap around in cell alignment because some of the text is a lot longer that I want the width of the columns to be, so I am not bothered about the odd few lines with text wrapping and making some rows bigger. The problem I have is that when I am viewing or printing out the information, the rows with text that needs to wrap it is not displaying all the text, it is cutting it off and hiding it so I can't see it, and it isn't all printed. How do I go about fixing this? I could spend ages fixing all the lines that have text that is supposed to wrap and make all those rows bigger in height so it fits in, but there must be a quick way to fix this? It seems very temperamental trying to get it exactly how you want it. I am using Excel 2000 on XP Pro BTW. Cheers John |

Select the columns, then from the menu bar click Format / Row / Autofit.
