    Column Width

    Probably not even possible, but here it goes. I have a spreadsheet where I need to change some column widths. Here's the problem. The info i have in column C cell range from 1-25 require a wider column, but the cells under that only require one a good bit narrower. Is there a way to make certain cells in a column wider or narrower than rather than adjusting every cell in that column to the same width??

    One option is to merge columns C and D together for rows 1-25.

    Do you mean Merging cells?

    No, not merging anything. I use column D as well. I simply want cells C1-C25 wider than the rest of column C. Thats all I need..

    The only way to do what you want is to use Merged cells, cant you insert an additional column and move the data in column D over?

    When you have merged your cells, try putting "Wrap text" on your cells C1:C25
