How do I stop cells from expanding?
 

Hey all. Just got Excel 2003, and have a real basic question.

I'm working in large files with very long cells, and everytime i click into
one to edit it, it expands to take up almost the entire screen. Problem is, i
need to look at cells in other columns, and this is a huge pain. How do i get
it to stop?

Thanks in advance!

If it is the formula bar that bothers you can turn it off temporarily under
viewformula bar

Don't double click, edit the cell in the formula bar.
