      @IRJ Yeah because LTS means they are only going to offer you security patches (if that).

      Yep, but like I said this isn't an ancient version. This is not the type of change that they make in a security update.

      Which again, you didn't answer my question. You just showed an example of you using the Format Painter function instead of actually reading the question.

      Centered looks like this

      Not centered looks like this

      That isn't my issue. Expand the size of the columns to match my example.

        No difference.

        Centered:

        Without centering

            Centered centers on the cell, so what the hell are you asking?

              When I click on column D it moves the view to the center of column D

                Are you sure you're using the correct verbiage to describe the issue? I don't think you are because what I've just listed in detail is centering.

                  Where in the OP does it say the view changes?! FFS

                    lol, Excel does this same exact thing. In the first pic you can see 3 columns left of column D. When he starts to edit Column D, it automatically shifts the window so you can only see 2 columns to the left. It's super annoying.

                      Well I did give an example WHERE my text isn't centered. So maybe that was a clue 😉 and I never said Font or field data is centering. I never specified anything, but gave an example

                        Do you have Column A locked so when you scroll everything else moves and A is hidden? Or is that filter on A only to find numbers etc?

                          Column A is just filtering

                            A super shitty example with a confusing explanation.

                              This doesn't occur on my screen until I get to column V.

                              My recommendation Zoom out, you'll see more content at once.

                                It's just the behavior of a normal workbook. Nothing hidden or locked (from my experience anyway). If the column you want to edit extends off the right edge of the screen it moves the window to try to make the whole column visible.

                                Not that it's relevant really, but I don't see a way to turn it off in Excel either.

                                  That is what I ended up doing. It is still readable

                                    Yeah, I've seen this behavior in Excel before - definitely annoying... I get what they are doing - showing all the data for that column... but still.

                                      I understand it, too. It would be nice if it was something you could toggle though
