The merged cell will adjust as you resize. Note: Even though you have merged and centered cells, you are still able to resize the columns as needed. You can change the alignment back to the left if the centering doesn't work well for your form. In my example, I am merging B7, C7, and D7.Д«y merging the cells together, you've basically created one really long cell to fit the text of your longer drop-down entries. I can select one or more of the cells adjacent to the drop-down cell and then select Merge & Center on the Home tab. For example, in the form below, widening the column for the drop-down list changes the size of other form fields.ДЄ workaround/alternative for this problem is to use the Merge & Center feature.

Sometimes simply widening the column is not a good solution because it may mess with the format of cells further down the worksheet. If you want to auto-fit the column, however, you should check your source list to see which entry is longest, then choose that entry in the drop-down, and then auto-fit by double-clicking the border of the column header. You can adjust the column manually by dragging the border of the column header. The simple solution is to widen the column that the drop-down box is in. The length of the drop-down box is not big enough to display the entire text. When working with drop-down lists, one common question I get is вЂњHow do I make it wider?вЂќ That's because oftentimes users are unable to read the longer selections in the drop-down menu.
