[mso] Re: Excel 2000: Expanding Font

Robert,
Here is a suggestion that I have used when I needed to "expand" the text on one 
or more column headings.
I just put a blank space (manually with the space bar) between each letter or 
character in the text. BUT, like I said I only used it on one or 2 lines or 
text after that it become too time consuming.
Just a suggestion.

that you *can* expand character spacing or condense character spacing. I 
couldn't find that, so thanks everyone!
