Help! I'd say I'm intermed. user but I'm stumped on this one (unless it's
just now working right?)
Desparately need this report for tomorrow. Report has numerical data,
calculations AND text (reason it's not just a word file). I don't know
Access, so forget that. Anyway... Text portion is massive and I can't get
the cells to show all the lines on screen or to print. When I click directly
on the worst examples, the entire screen is covered with the data on a pop
up-type screen that overlays the spreadsheet to show it all. (idea:
copy/paste this entire posting 5x in a single cell on a spreadsheet, you
might have the same amt of text .) The most I can see is 7 lines of it, but
some cells even have up to 24 lines , no matter what I try.** I just tried
changing from general to text on the first format tab for another exercise in
futility. I even tried manully widening by double-clicking under row #'s and
nothing happened, so I dragged cell down to make row height increase and it
just stretched cell and either double-spaced the visible text, or threw a
bunch of space above or below text (depending upon whether I had chosen top,
bottom, justify, etc. on align tab). I checked autofit using entire
spreadsheet to no avail
**I've tried EVERYTHING in format, cell, align (horizontal and vertical,
wrap text, trying it with and without checking the "merge cells" box) and
formatting entire sheet for autofit row height. Also: Col's are widest
possible, printing setup for landscape, margins narrowed to smallest and
using small fonts to free up space for column width - I'm still sunk. Please
- help! Thanks so much. - Iris S.
