Contain text within two or more columns
If so, please do the same previous steps but instead of Shrink to fit, use Wrap Text.
You can spread the long text across multiple columns by using Merge & Center.
There is another way that gives you the same result and discards the use of Merge & Center and problems that may occur because of it!

You can replace Merge & Center with it in the previous steps, as well as using Wrap Text.
Brian,
You can use Merge & Center and Shrink to fit.
To do that:
- Select the range F2:I2, not whole columns F:I, and then press Merge & Center button.
- After that, press Ctrl+1 to open the Format Cells dialog box.
- From the alignment tab, find the Shrink to fit checkbox and check it, then hit OK.
The problem with this is that the text will be too small and unreadable!
I don't know why you don't want to use Wrap Text?
Thanks. Yes, that's too small to read. When I wrap the text it wraps it within the first column, ie F2 & not spread out evenly over F2-I2

Thanks, that works.
