Noob question

I really need help wiht this problem .
How do you alter a column size?
I did it once where the cursor would just move it bigger or smaller. I want to know how you do that.
I would be very grateful for any help.

Thanks

Answered in your thread in Miscellaneous.

You shouldn't post same question in different groups.

Ya your right.

I was going to delete this thread but then you posted , I can't do it now.

If you want to make column A bigger, place the cursor on the line which is between column A and column B.

The mouse cursor changes to a line with one arrow on the left and one arrow on the right.

Click and hold then move the cursor left to make column A smaller or right to make column A bigger.

Hi ...... (your name would be appreciated when posting to newsgroups)

Select column(s) then, format, column, width
always handy if the column ends up as 200 characters wide and
you need to narrow it down.

Select column(s), Double click or drag the separation between two
column heading which are the letters at top.

You can also drag column(s) to a different position
Shift + drag the border within the spreadsheet area.
