But if you have ever tried to enter a value to set your column widths or row heights, then you may have struggled to do so because the Normal view in Excel 2013 uses point values to determine these measurements. Luckily you can switch to a different view and set those dimensions in inches instead.

The steps in this article were performed in Microsoft Excel 2013. This guide is going to show you how to switch the view from Normal, which is the default view, to Page Layout.
