Hello Severine,

I think I can solve your Excel problem another way.  What I usually do in
these cases is change the format of the cells so that the text wraps
within the cell.  The width would stay the same; the cells with the most
text would be 'taller'.  All the text would be visible when you print
though.

To do this:
1)  select the whole spreadsheet with cntl+A
2)  alt+O to get the format drop down menu
3)  select Cells
4)  cntl+tab to the alignment tab
5)  tab until you hear the wrap text checkbox option and check it
6)  click OK

Hope this helps.

Sherry Wells

Excel question:






Hi listers,
Could someone tell me how to adjust the width of particular cells to =
their contents? I use Excel XP 2003 (at least, I think so but I couldn't =
find the version info, somehow.)
I have to print out some excel files where some cells contain text. =
Often, my colleagues tell me afterwards that part of the text is =
missing. The template file where I must fill in the data is not very =
well made, I think because the info is not in adjacent cells, and some =
cells in one column should be much wider than others in the same column. =
Is there a way to tell the program to print out all the text, even if =
that messes up the table aspect of the spreadsheet? Or must I just =
rewrite the whole template and if so, could you please give me tips on =
how to do so, knowing that anyhow, some lines will have to contain more =
text than others.
Thanks a lot for any info, I hope I can achieve proper results without =
having to spend too much time on it, although I know good templates are =
worth spending some time upon.

A great day to everyone,
S=E9verine
