Modify Row and Column Formats

Introduction

every row and column of a new workbook is always set to the same height and width. Excel allows you to modify column width and row height in a variety of different ways, including wrapping text and merging cells.

To Modify Column Width:

In our example below, some of the content in column A cannot be displayed. We can make all of this content visible by changing the width of column A.

1. Position the mouse over the column line in the column heading so that the white cross  becomes adouble arrow .

2. Click, hold and drag the mouse to increase or decrease the column width.

3. Release the mouse. The column width will be changed.
