Changing cells, rows, and columns

There are several features that control how you display and work with data
in rows and columns. You can resize, hide, insert, and delete rows and
columns.

Resizing or hiding rows and columns

To resize all the rows or columns in a range by the same amount, start by
selecting multiple rows or columns. Then specify a size or use the mouse.

To resize rows or columns by specifying a size, select the rows or columns
to change. Then choose Row Height or Column Width from the Format menu, type
a new measurement (type

revert to the default row or column size), and then click OK.

To resize or hide rows or columns by using the mouse, move the pointer to
the bottom of the row heading or to the right edge of the column heading to
change. The pointer becomes a double arrow
