I'm working with a Excel file started by someone else, have no idea
which version of Excel and have no contact with this person.
We've done the steps for compatibility to Excel 2013.
There are 12 spreadsheets in this particular file. We need a standard
column width for one of the columns. The column width is different in
just about every spreadsheet. Column widths vary from 11.64 to 14.
However, a couple have the column width as 0.81" & 0.83".
We need this column to be identical in each spreadsheet. If I put, for
instance, 14 in the column that says 0.83" I get a message telling me
that that's wider than the page!!
If I try to change the width from 11.64 to 0.83" - I get this error
message: Your entry cannot be used. An integer or decimal number may
be required.
Help! Why can't I either change all of the column widths to the
"character" width or all to the inches width? I just need them to be
the same size.
