When using the column auto fit feature, be aware that this could cause the width of your total data area be too wide to fit on a page. Depending on the width changing your paper layout to landscape instead of portrait might solve the problem. If this does not, the columns that do not fit on the page will be printed on a separate page.
If you know which cell(s) have more info in them than can be visually seen, you can use the wrap text feature that is in the cell format dialog within Excel2010, I'm not sure if you will find it in the same place in 2013. I thought you had to select the entire column to ensure that the Column auto width feature worked on the cell with the widest content. Only the content selected will be considered when implementing this command. Maybe this has changed and I'm not aware of it.

Open the Home tab, then arrow down to the Cells submenu, and press enter. Now, arrow down to Format..., and press enter on this. Arrow down in the resulting menu and select "Auto fit Column Width. This will make the column the width of the widest cell in the column, so that the entries all fall within the limits of the column. You can do the same for the Row Height if needed, or an individual cell. hth, Mike [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: leonard morris Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 12:10 PM To: jaws Subject: [JAWS-Users] keeping data in a excel 2013 cell I think somebody mentioned this issue before but I'm not certain. However, I'm using excel 2013 and while jaws reports the information and data for a given cell it's my understanding that some data actually bleeds over in to the next cell although Jaws doesn't indicate this is happening. I'm sure my spread sheet would not be visually appealing to the sighted eye if I needed to share it with someone. How can I ensure that the data stays within the intended cell?
