    Monospaced fonts

    I normally use "Courier New" because the characters are so easy-to-read
    and they align so neatly on my monitor and on the printed page.

    However, the smallest "Courier New" font size is "8" which, in some
    instances, is too large.

    Is there another smaller, monospaced font-style that is as easy-to-read
    as Courier New?

    Monospaced fonts

    Hi Gary

    You simply need select the cells with the text you wish to resize then click into the font size box on your toolbar and type in the size you want you font to be.

    Cheers

    The toolbar shows the font is "COURIER NEW" and the font-size is "8".
    I know that I can click the font-size box and change the font-size to
    "10", "24", etc.
    But I want a SMALLER font-size (like "6" or "4").

    Since "COURIER NEW" doesn't offer a font-size smaller than "8", I'm
    looking for a different font-style (like Arial or Times New Roman") but
    the new font-style needs to be monospaced (i.e., all characters taking
    up the same amount of space) with a small font-size.

    Don't try to choose 6 or 4. Just type it in.

    Wow! That works great! Just what I was looking for.

    By the way, Dave. I really appreciate your replies to my "Matching
    Cells" posting a couple of days ago - your last reply did the trick!
    (You've helped me out quite a few times with problems/questions in my
    other postings and I thank you for those suggestions, too).


    Thanks,

    Gary

    Why do the characters at Courier New "8" align so neatly on the screen
    but smaller sizes (like "7" or "5") are wavy-looking?
