Row & Column Sizes

There are two ways to set the sizes for rows and columns in a spreadsheet.  The easiest way is to "grab" the row or column guides in the headers and "drag" out the size you want.  To fine tune the size, use the Column Width or Cell Height commands. 

Grab & Drag Resizing

  1. Position the cursor in the column or row heading.  You must have the headings displayed to resize columns and rows in this manner.

  2. When the cursor changes to a double-arrow, click and hold the mouse button (grab).

  3. "Drag" out the new column or row size.

Only one row or one column at a time can be resized in this manner.

Exact Resizing

  1. Select the rows or columns you want to resize.  You can resize multiple rows and columns using this method.

  2. Select Row Height from the Format menu to set row sizes, or select Column Width from the Format menu to set column sizes.

  4. Check use default to reset the columns or rows to the default sizes. Any values entered are ignored.

  5. Click OK when finished.  The columns or rows are resized. 
Reminder: If you hide both row and column headers you can still resize them by holding the Option key.
