Widening Columns in Excel 2007

Note: For help on these steps, refer to the image above.

After entering the data you will probably find that several words, such as Deductions, are too wide for a cell. To correct this so that the entire word is visible:

  1. Place the mouse pointer on the line between columns C and D in the column header.

  2. The pointer will change to a double - headed arrow.

  3. Click with the left mouse button and drag the double - headed arrow to the right to widen column C.
  4. Widen other columns to show data as needed.
