Quickly resize a column to fit contents in Excel. You may have data in a cell that is much shorter than, or too long to fit in, the default width of a column. Instead of trying to manually adjust the width of the column to get the right size, double-click the boundary between two column headers (e.g., the line between the A and the B for the first and second columns), and the column size for the column to the left will be perfectly sized to accommodate the cell with the longest text. Easy.
The Island Lecture Series presentation by marine ecologist Dr. Iren茅 Novaczek, which was to take place on March 21, has been rescheduled to April 18 at 7 pm. Dr. Novaczek will speak about the ecosystem restoration project at Basin Head, PEI.
Basin Head was designated as a "Marine Protected Area" under the Oceans Act in 2005, to conserve and protect a unique strain of Irish moss (Chondrus crispus), which is thought to exist only within the confines of Basin Head.
The talk will focus on adaptive management of the marine protected area to ensure that the unique giant form of Irish moss at Basin Head is able to survive in the coastal lagoon environment, which is challenged by the impact of local agriculture, invasive European green crabs, and ongoing climate changes.
Join Robertson Library staff for a tasty bowl of soup--black bean and lentils and broccoli cheddar with a dinner roll and fresh fruit on Tuesday, March 21, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.
