How to avoid cell overlapping?

[Tim]

Hi,

Is there anyone knows how to avoid overlapping? Here's I want to do, I don't
like my data, if it's too long, jump over the next empty cell... I just want
to hide the rest of text. Nope, I don't want to wrap it too. I'm thinking of,
if the size of the cell is 50x12.75, let it be. No wrapping and no
overlapping... Is that possible?

Because the tendency of overlapping is, texts that jumps to a particular
empty cell will be mistaken as data of that particular column...

Wrap Text will do the job and leave the cell the same size as long as you don't
set the row to "Autofit".

Hi,

The problem is i can't disable the autofit anymore... Anyway thanks, I have
now the idea..

Yes, the Horizontal "Fill" works fine.

Just curious. Why can't you disable autofit?

Just manually re-size the row and autofit is disabled.
