I have a seating chart for a group of students. I want to show each first
and last name in a single cell in the following fashion, without changing
the font size or cell length.
Last Name,
First Name
Some names are quite long. Is there a way to compress the letter spacing
(up to a reasonable degree of course) so that the last name stays on top
without separating the last few letters of the first name
Otherwise, here is what is happening
First Nam
e Last Name
Thanks for any help ... I am using office Excel 2007

Jerry,
One possibility: After typing the first name, press Alt-Enter, then the last name, then
Enter. You can also select and format either part, then format it for a smaller (or
different) font to get it compressed.

Some folks prefer bottom-posting.
But if you bottom-post to a reply that's
already top-posted, the thread gets messy.
