Excel 2007 beta 2 12.0.4017.1004

Import of plain text file really suck.

select Fixed width and try to create or move the colum boundaries.

1. The boundaries on screen is not synced to the tip of your mouse pointer.
2. What you see on screen is not where the column actually appears.
3. Double click to remove boundaries is a hit and miss.

I am sorry, I beg to differ. I use this function for a living. Import
availability figures from monitoring systems for SLA compliation. Without
these figures we don't get paid. Excel 2003 does not have these problems.

In Excel 2003, the boundaries adjustmentmay not be as good as Word, but it
is bearable. In Excel 2007, it is really bad. Have you tried it?

I'll check it out. I use it all the time too and hadn't noticed. My point
was the import wizard, etc is still using the same code base as XL5, so it
must be a display issue??? or similar.

I'll take a look and get back

Just taken a look and it sucks! (Sorry) I will try and get a bug post in or
see if it's already been picked up by someone and get back.

The initial response to me was the same as mine to you. I've asked them to
re-visit and get back

I'll report back
