Hi everyone: This is probably an easy question, but I have a column
for notes in excel 2000. I want the user to be able to enter in a few
dozen letters maybe a hundred at the most but I don't want the text to
spill out beyond the length of the column which is 25 and I don't want
the row to increase in size.

Just cut off the text where the length of the column ends. If the
user wants to view the entire note he would have to click on the cell
and look up top.

Thanks for any help.

Is there anything to the right of the Notes column ? Can you just put a
space in the cells in that column ?

try formatting the cell, horizontal->fill or right justified.
