This was for a template this person was creating where they wanted the Excel cells to of a specific size (in inches) With Automatic Column resizing disabled, you’ll have a scrollbar across the bottom if the fields won't fit on the screen and Outlook will show a blank space on the right if your fields don't fill in the entire width of the window.I was recently asked if there is a wat to set column width in inches in Excel. If the available width is 1000 px, Outlook will stretch the fields to 200 pixels. If you use Best Fit, Outlook will decide which columns to adjust if you use a Specific Width, Outlook will adjust the width proportionally to the window size.įor example, if you have 5 columns each 100 pixels wide but the window is only 300 pixels, Outlook will adjust them to about 60 pixels each. When Automatic column resizing is checked, Outlook won't use a scroll bar at the bottom of the window and will adjust the columns widths to fit the window size.
Open View Settings, Other Settings and uncheck Automatic column resizing. How can I force a fixed width? Selecting fixed width in View Settings doesn’t do it. Sometimes they are fixed width – I want that because when they stretch I need to resize all of the columns. Sometimes when I slide the width of the columns (from, to, date, etc) all of the individual column widths are stretched.
