I have 3 columns, dates -name of employer and duties and responsibilites....yet when i try write duties in it just goes in one big line across the cells, if i press return it selects the cell below it, how do i write so it goes down and fits in the table?

Answer 1

If you're asking how to put text like

duties and
responsibilities

into one cell, you need to hold the Alt key when you hit your Enter key and you'll be able to keep it in one cell.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

In Excel 2003:

Select the cell
Right click
Format Cells
Alignment
Wrap Text

Use Alt-Enter for line breaks within a Cell.

Answer 3

Write in the cell, then double click the edge of it and it should automatically change to fit the text in. (Double click next to the letter of the column, so if you're writing in column A, double click the edge of the box next to the letter A, not the edge of the actual box you are writing in.)

Answer 4

Right click on the cell you have typed in. From the menu that appears click on formatt text, then select the allignment tab and select wrap text.

Hope this is the right sequence.

Answer 5

select the cell and click on format in menu then format cells from drop down then alignment tab. tick wrap text tick box.

Answer 6

Format the cell to allow word wrap.

Answer 7

Highlight cells, right mouse click, and wordwrap text box is on one of the tabs

Answer 8

make the cells wider, go to the top of the page. and, say between the letters A and B click on the line, and drag it wider, will make all the cells in that column wider.

Answer 9

right click in cell, format cell, select wrap text
