splitting one column into two columns ... not what you think
 

i have fixed column widths that can't be changed; nor can any other columns
be added to the worksheet ...

i've got data in one column that represents "results" ... within the results
column though, i need two columns (starting directly below the "results"
cell, one that reads "in range" and that other that reads "out of range" ...
so:

if i'm on [column a] [cell 1] i want: "results" ... in [column a] [cell 2] i
want: "in range" AND "out of range" with a line down the middle. "text to
column" is not what i want here ... at least i've tried that and i come up
with 2 separate columns ... I WANT ONE COLUMN WIDTH THAT'S DIVIDED BY A
SINGLE LINE. please help!

You cannot split a column into two columns.

You could dork about with the drawing toolbar and draw a line between the
words in a cell but that's a lotta fiddly work.

You could use the "Pipe" symbol between the words?

But, if you can't change column widths or add more columns you are kinda
stuck.
