how do I format so that multi text drops vertically within column rather than continues horizontally?
RE: columns
Hi Peter
Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.
I think you are referring to text wrapping, which is where you can get text to go onto more than one line inside a cell.
There are two ways to do this:
1. If you have already entered the information into the cell, then go to the Home ribbon and click the Wrap Text button within the Alignment group of buttons. You may then need to adjust the width and height of the column and row that the cell is in so that the text goes onto more than one line.
2. When you are entering the text into a cell, press ALT + Enter to start a new line in the same cell.
I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:Quickly hide and unhide rows and columnsUse the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+9 to hide selected rows and Ctrl+0 to hide selected columns. The good thing about this shortcut is that you do not need to select entire rows or columns. For example, select B3:D3 then press Ctrl+0 to hide columns B to D. |
