Please tell me the quickest way to highlight several columns and then, at the flick of a switch, make the widths equal?

RE: Excel Introduction Training Course

Hello Trish,

Quickest way to widen multiple columns. Click the top of the first column required (this means clicking the actual letter, eg. D Column), Hold down the Shift key, Click on the last column required eg. J column. This selects all those columns.

Then move your mouse between any two of the selected columns (not on the sheet but again in the very top where the Letters of the columns reside), eg, between F and G, your cursor changes to a double headed arrow, click and drag to required width, when you let go all the selected columns will snap to same width.
It takes longer to explain than it does to perform!

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark
