Numbers text in cel

Hi,


How can I keep the cell size the same and still paste a large text in it?


Greeting!

Are you saying "row" when you mean "column"? In the screenshot below I have two cells in column A with the text "Wrap text is turned off in this cell" and, as it says, wrap text in cell is turned off in those cells. In column B to the right, there is nothing in cell B1 but I put text in cell B2. This is what it sounds like you are describing and this is what will happen if "wrap text in cell" is off. If you want the text to not spread out, you have to put something in the cell beside it. If you want that other cell to look blank, use a space character.


If this is not what you are describing, a screenshot posted here would be useful.
