Excel - how can I adjust spacing between characters? (I can't find anything in Google)?

Question

For some reason, each cell seems to have a different format. Please refer to the picture uploaded.
The only time I used the spacebar was between the word "hello" and "world".

1. Too big of a space between each character
2. When I use ONLY numbers, it shows as I want it to show.
3. When I combine words with numbers, the space between character increases again.
4. When I combine words with numbers, the space between character increases again.
5. The spacebar space is almost as big as the space between characters.

- I have tried changing fonts, size, alignment, and it keeps happening.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Excel is not a typesetting software. The most you can do is change font and font size.

Answer 2

It looks like you are stuck in some sort of mono-spaced font. But you tried changing to Arial for example and it still holds in there? Is this happening in every document - old ones that you try to edit, new ones you are creating? It seems like there is some funky formatting in there. I'd suggest a repair on Excel before going any further!

Answer 3

Excel does not contain the same tools as Word for manipulating character spacing. Thus, it seems to me that Excel has become corrupted. Have you tried repairing it?
