Six-Point Font Display in Excel for OS/2 PSS ID Number: Q60106 Article last modified on 06-23-1993 PSS database name: W_eXceL

OS/2

Summary:

When using 6-point fonts in Microsoft Excel for OS/2, the fonts will be redrawn very slowly, first erasing the text in any given cell and then redrawing it. This causes scrolling to take a considerable amount of time, and any text entered into a cell in 6-point fonts will appear very slowly, character by character.

To work around this problem, change to a larger font, enter the information, and then reformat with the 6-point font.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
