When you create a new worksheet, the default width of the columns is set to fit approximately eight numbers in the default font. You may need to adjust the column width to accommodate changes in the font size, increases or decreases in cell values, or to save worksheet space.
Text can spill over into the next cell to the right, as long as that cell is empty.
In other words, numeric entries do not spill over. If there is an entry in the adjacent cell of a long text entry, the long text entry becomes truncated, requiring you to increase the column width. You may, however, also want to decrease the width of some of the other columns to save space on the worksheet. When you increase or decrease column width, the column size and number of pixels appears in a ScreenTip to the right of the column you are resizing. Practice the Skill 1.
