Format Cells

You can use a variety of formatting features (bold, alignment, font, size, etc.) to effectively display your data. Use the Formatting Palette to do the following:

  • Change Fonts.
  • Choose the appropriate number format.
  • Change the Alignment of text or data.
  • Format text and individual characters.
  • Add borders, colors, and patterns.
  • Edit document themes.

We will address each of the formatting cells groups in detail in this section of the tutorial. Click on any of the selections on the right side navigation bar to select the formatting you want to accomplish.
