2 Simple Methods to Solve If Font Changes Automatically in Excel
In the following, I have described 2 simple and easy methods to solve font changes automatically in Excel.
Suppose we have a dataset of some Employee Name, Total Attendance, Total Salary, and Employee Performance. Now we will solve the font-changing problem in this table using some simple tricks.
1. Utilization of Format Cells Feature
You can simply use the format cells feature to solve font-changing problems in Excel. Sometimes while changing the column and row width, you will face the font of the cell value changing according to cell size. This happens when you have activated the “Shrink to fit” feature of Excel. Just remove the checkmark from the “Shrink to fit” option and the font will not change anymore.
Steps:
- Select the whole dataset and right-click the mouse button to get multiple options.
- From the options choose “Column Width”.
- Next, from the appeared new window change the column width value and click OK to continue.
- This time you will see the font size changes according to the shrinkage of the cells. This is the problem we often face while editing our dataset.
- So, without moving here and there let’s go to our solution in the following.
Solution:
- First, choose the whole table and press CTRL+1 to open the “Format Cells” window.
- After that, checkmark the “Wrap text” option from the “Alignment” feature.
- Hence, click OK to continue.
- Now, if we change the size of the table you will see the values are wrapping instead of changing the font. Enjoy!
