Formatting not staying on
I have some cells with Autofit ON on the first sheet of my workbook. I want
the same formatting on the other 4 sheets, but even although I have individually applied Autofit to the cells I want, it does not see this formatting. The idea is for all the sheets to mimick the first sheet. Any help would be appreciated. |

Autofit is a sheet only setting.
Must be set on each sheet. Quick way to do this select first sheet then right-click on a sheet tab and "Select all Sheets" CTRL + a to select all cells. FormatRowAutofit. Right-click on a sheet tab to "ungroup" the sheets. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 7 Feb 2008 03:26:00 -0800, AnnP wrote: I have some cells with Autofit ON on the first sheet of my workbook.

Many thanks for your reply. I did as you suggest and applied Autofit to the
appropriate cells on the appropriate sheets and saved the template. When I type on the first sheet, the Autofit works, but not on the other sheets. Any further suggestions?

I should perhaps have said that the formatting is being applied to the second
of 6 sheets. I type on the 2nd one and the data is copied to sheets 3 - 6. Thanks again. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Autofit is a sheet only setting. Must be set on each sheet.

Maybe because I left out the part about also setting "Wrap Text" at the same
time. If the sheets are still grouped, whatever you type on the activesheet will also be entered in the other sheets. BTW..........if any merged cells, these will not autofit.

That is normal behaviour for "grouped sheets".
Ungroup to prevent that. Gord On Wed, 13 Feb 2008 03:25:00 -0800, AnnP wrote: I type on the 2nd one and the data is copied to sheets 3 - 6. |

Thanks, but I did have Wrap Text on, no merged cells and ungrouped the
sheets. I even tried using a macro to apply the Autofit to the appropriate cells after the text is typed, but that did not work either. Funnily enough, if I manually select the cells after entering the text and apply Autofit, it does work! I really didn't want the users to have to manually apply Autofit, so am looking for another way round this. Sorry to be a pain, but this is very frustrating.

I have since found that this is a bug in Excel 2003. Thanks for replies.
