A couple of weeks ago, I was working in Microsoft Excel 2016 for Mac, using an Office 365 subscription in the standard channel. When I would select a column and then "Column Width", my recollection is that I would be able to specify the width of the column in inches.
However, I am now working in Excel—version 15.33 (170409)
, though I also see it on another computer that's on 15.32 (170309)
—and when I select "Column Width", I now am getting the same sorts of numbers like I'd see in Excel for Windows; e.g., the default column width is "10".
I can find absolutely no documentation of this change.
Is my memory faulty, or did this change, and where is that documented?
Furthermore, is there a way I can change it back at will?
EDIT: I installed an old version of Excel (15.31 (170216)
) and it does, in fact, still give me inches:
But here is a screenshot from 15.32 (170309)
:
So the change appears to be in the March release. Where is the documentation/rationale for this?
0.87"
