5 MODIFYING COLUMNS, ROWS &

CELLS

Modify Width and Height

To modify column width:

In our example below, column C is too narrow to display all the content in these cells. We can make
all this content visible by changing the width of column C.

1. Position the mouse over the column line in the column heading so the cursor becomes
a double arrow.

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

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

With numerical data, the cell will display pound signs (#######) if the column is too narrow.
Simply increase the column width to make the data visible.
