Help: Formula put into entire row creates large file size
Hi, I have a spreadsheet where I would like one column to be the concatenation of two other columns. For example, in column C I would have =A1&B1. This excel file will be given to people and they will fill in values into columns A and B. The trick is, I don't know how many rows there will be, so I don't know how many rows in column C should have this formula. If I paste this formula into the entire column C, the excel file blows up to 3 megabytes. (It's only 15KB without this column). Are there ways for me to accomplish this more efficiently?

Wrap text in cell
It seems that wrap text and autofit row width and row height have a limit. Any idea where to change this limit? I have quite a large text in a cell and when I do wrap text and autofit, then parts of the text get cut of. The text is still there, but it is not shown in the cell and it is cut off when printing. You can enter 32767 characters in a cell. In Excel 2003 and earlier, only 1024 of these will be visible or printed. I believe Excel 2007 will show 8192 characters. If you add an Alt + Enter linefeed every 100 or so characters you can increase this 1024 limit. ...

internal margin around text in a cell
Hi, all... Within a cell (or the spreadsheet as a whole), is there a way to specify the width of the "internal margin"? I know this can be set for text boxes (separately for top, bottom, right, left), but I have found no reference in Help for doing this in a cell... Where I use a double-line border above a cell, the top of the text actually touches the border.

Many thanks to Stephen for developing a workaround solution. Hopefully I can get it to work. I am using Access 2003 on WinXP Pro. I've placed a label on my report with the Tahoma true-type font, Label104, with 90 in the Tag. I've also placed a...
