a Wierd one in excel 97

mtempleton · Mar 19th, 2002, 04:41 AM

Has anyone ever come across excel 97 changing colums sizes when you open a spreadsheet? It seems to happen with different sheets at different times, the only thing I can think to do is to try & squash the entire installation & re-install & patch but it's a bit of a pain to have to ?

Cheers

Hi Mark,

yeah, I've only ever had this problem once as most of my spreadsheets are only used by myself..... can't remember if there was a solution, per se, or just an overall general agreement grumble - try searchign this board and the old archives on "column width", there's definitely in there about this

Hi

To add can i suggest checking the versions are the same, not some patched top SR1 also check the build of Excel as the are different and get sulky - 'cos she can you know!

Also chectthe default page set up are the same can be all sorts, no two PCs are configured the same or are until someone starts customising them!
