In the toolbar at the top of the Excel window, make sure that you're in the Home tab. Click the field or cell that contains the data of which you want to change the font. Then in the toolbar, you'll see a Font section that contains a drop-down list of all the available fonts. To the right of that is another drop-down list that has a number in it. This is for selecting the font or type size. Click the down arrow for the font size list and select a smaller number. This will reduce the font size in the field that you previously selected. If it still doesn't fit, select a smaller number.

Click on the row header or column header. Press Ctrl-Spacebar to select a column. Press Shift-Spacebar to select a row. If you have cells in more than one column or row selected when you do either of these it will select all of the columns or rows that have selected cells. If you go to the first cell in a completely blank row and press Ctrl-Shift right arrow, it will select the entire row. If you go to the first cell in a completely blank column and press Ctrl-Shift down arrow, it will select the entire column. If there is some data in any cells in the row/column or if you are not in the first cell when you do it, these commands will select part of the row/column only, depending on where data is.
