Changing Datasheet Column Width

Summary: To see information in a datasheet better, you may need to adjust column width. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

The graphs created by Microsoft Graph are based on data contained in a simple spreadsheet called a datasheet. Microsoft Graph displays this data in row-and-column format. You can adjust the width of datasheet columns in order to view large numbers in the cells more fully. To do this, follow these steps:

Select a cell in the column whose width you want to change.
Choose Column Width from the Format menu. Microsoft Graph displays the Column Width dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
In the Column Width box, specify a column width.
Click on OK.

You can also change the width of a datasheet column by simply positioning the mouse pointer over the right border of the control cell for the column. Microsoft Graph changes the pointer to a double-headed arrow. Click and drag the column border to the new width.

Tip #716 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
