Resizing cells within the same spread sheet

M

Manny

Hi to all! I'm trying to teach myself how to use excel with a manual and
just plain experimenting with trying to create simple spread sheets for now.
Now this may appear a bit naive but I would like to know if it is possible to
change for example the heighth of a column of cells without changing the size
of the cells immediately to the right or left of the cell. I know that you
can choose the option to unlock a particular range of cells while protecting
the rest of the cells within the sheet but that option appears to only allow
you to change the content of the cell. I've tried all sorts of different
things with no success. Is it impossible? Thanks for any help.

I think it is only possible to change the heighth of of row, not the heighth
of individual cells within the row.

You can merge cells to make it look like this, but merged cells cause lots of
other problems--sorting, copy|pasting, ...

I wouldn't use them.

But if you want to try:
In xl2003 menus:
select the two cells
Format|Cells|alignment tab|check merge
