cells
hi,
How do I restrict a word to a cell no matter how long the word is? I want the cell to expand in its row rather than spill over to the other cells. I also do not want to increase the width of the cell. Thank you in advance. Yem |

Click on <Format<Cells<Alignment<Wrap text
That will wrap text within a cell and increase the height of the cell. To do this click on <Format<Row<Autofit Regards.

Select the column, say col A
Click Format Cells Alignment tab Check "Wrap text" OK Now when you type in col A, the text will wrap around w/o running into the next cell. -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "Yem" wrote in message ... hi, How do I restrict a word to a cell no matter how long the word is?
