    Wrap text and vertical alignment issues

    Since I uninstalled 2016 and reinstalled 2013 as 2016 was not compatible with graphic software I am using I am having formatting problems with an excel tables which use vertical alignment. Basically it appears that wrap text is not now working and vertical alignment does not recognise the height of the cells and wont auto fit – I am trying to top and centre justify and apply wrap text - see attached

    Can anyone help

    Hi Davo
    No - as you can see the header row text ( row 2) is only partially in the cell - this is the problem usually vertical alignment and wrap texct you can top and center justify

    Cool Re: Wrap text and vertical alignment issues

    ok, so what you need? text in headers to be wrapped or autofit height of these headers?

    with wrap and autofit it looks like

    wr1.jpg

    but without wrapping but with autofit

    wr2.jpg

    choose one or give more details what you want to achieve

    it's depend what you'll use first: wrap or autofit

    Hi Sandy

    The image you sent is what I want to achieve - but the attached is what I get - as you can see the text runs outside of the cell and wrap text doesnt work

    Re: Wrap text and vertical alignment issues

    ab ovo

    1. headers are horizontal
    2. set them to vertical
    3. change height of headers row manually to value what you need
    4. select all headers in table
    5. use wrap
    6 use autofit

    hope it will work for you

    Re: Wrap text and vertical alignment issues

    Thanks for your help Sandy, unfortunately it doesnt work, still having the same problem, Im used to working with these features - the problem has only arisen since moving from 2016 to 2013 so can only assume its a bug or poor installation

    Cool Re: Wrap text and vertical alignment issues

    hm, maybe will be better to check why your graphic card doesn't work with Excel 2016?
    maybe Disable or Enable (check box) hardware graphics acceleration will help?

    but see this:
