      Before I click to Column D

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

      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
