Column width and pasting sections in excel? Formatting questions
I am trying to make a spreadsheet in which I need to have varied column widths in different sections, one under another. (they don't need to relate directly, and no major equations going on) for example: xxxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx xxxxxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx How do I go about splitting the sheet or whatever I need to do so I can manipulate columns differently based on the row I'm in? Thanks! Rich

Column widths apply to the whole column. You may be able to use merged cells to give the appearance that you want, but I try to stay away from merged cells--they cause more trouble than they're worth--in copy|pasting, sorting, ... Can't you just leave that column empty for the rows that only have 2 columns of data. Or if the data is really qualitatively different, I'd use two worksheets. fractalsphere wrote: > > I am trying to make a spreadsheet in which I need to have varied column > widths in different sections, one under another.

petersodfractal, Sound like you're making a form. You can't have different comlumn widths in the same column. So here's what you can do Design your form on paper. Place your fields on the spreadsheet approximately where you want them. Ignore where cells are for now, and adjust column widths to suit. Use format cells/borders to outline the places you need. Use tools/options/uncheck gridlines Or you could set up a table in Word Beege "fractalsphere" <fractalsphere@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D2867DFC-09CF-4680-A232-46162E1CE3DD@microsoft.com... >I am trying to make a spreadsheet in which I need to have varied column > widths in different sections, one under another.

bwgilmanhahHey thanks for the reply! I ended up doing it using inserted objects (seperate excel sheets with just the subset of altered columns) so they're little expandable imbedded worksheets. It serves the purpose for my needs well enough, but for a larger strictly business oriented sheet it would be too cumbersome. At least I learned something new. ;-) "Beege" wrote: > fractal, > > Sound like you're making a form. You can't have different comlumn widths in > the same column.
