can a column have diffent width?

dave

I have dates in column A and 20 rows down or so, I want to have names in
column A and numbers in column B but column A must be wider to accept the
names.
I want the dates to be a certain width say 64 pixels and the names to be 336
pixels,can this be done?


thanks

not sure if i'm understanding you properly, but you have something like
this correct?


A B

24/11/86 Daniel
12/05/72 Sarah
01/02/03 Jim

and you want:

A B

Daniel 24/11/86
Sarah 12/05/72
Jim 01/02/03

but column A isnt wide enough to hold these values without showing ###
when the names are in B theres nothing to the right of them so they
just spill out over Column C i'm guessing.

to resize the column, move your cursor to the top of the column, and
theres a vertical black line between the columns A & B, when your
cursor is in the right spot it will look like this: < - > or
something...
click and drag from this line to the right to make column A larger..

or...

Right-Click on the A at the top of column A, and select "Column Width"
and enter a number in there

or...

left click the A at the top of column A, and then go to Format, Column,
and click "AutoFit Selection"

Hope i'm on the right track here, or i've just wasted quite a bit of
your time reading this lol.
