Final answer:
To distribute columns evenly in Excel, select the columns, right-click for 'Column Width' from the context menu, and set all columns to the same specified width.
Step-by-step explanation:
To distribute columns evenly in Excel, you can use the 'Format Cells' option to manually set the width of each column, ensuring they are all set to the same value. If the columns on the edges appear to be closer to one another, this could be an illusion caused by the layout or a formatting issue. Here is a simple step-by-step process to achieve even column distribution:
- Select the columns you want to distribute evenly.
- Right-click on one of the selected columns and choose 'Column Width' from the context menu.
- In the 'Column Width' dialog box, enter the desired width. This will apply to all selected columns.
- Click 'OK' to set the columns to the desired width.
If visual consistency is an issue, ensure that all margins, cell padding, or 'print view' settings are identical for the columns in question.
