Cell Text expanding and not expanding

Question

In my spreadsheet, I have one cell that displays text exactly as typed.&nbsp; On the next row, I type the same text in a cell and when I enter, it expands.&nbsp; I did nothing to cause this and I can't find any differences in formatting for either cell.&nbsp; I prefer text exactly as typed but am mainly looking for consistency.&nbsp; Can anyone help?

tgivens&nbsp;What do you mean by "it expands"? Can you upload a screenshot, please?

tgivens · Answer

Riny_van_Eekelen&nbsp; One line stays exactly as you type it.&nbsp; On the next line, once you hit enter, the text spreads out to the right, out of the bound of the cell if there's enough text.&nbsp; The sentence "expands" beyond what was originally typed.

Like one of

or something different?

SergeiBaklan&nbsp;No, it's different.&nbsp; I have attempted to attach a file which shows a sheet illustrating the problem.&nbsp; The first line is exactly how I saw it when I typed it.&nbsp; The second and third lines show how the line "expanded".&nbsp; And I can't find any difference in the formatting of the 3 lines, yet lines 2+3 added space between letters.

That could be different fonts applied

Did you try Format painter first cell on other ones?
