SECTION 3
Lesson 3.1: Modifying Cells and Data

   

 

 

To align data within a cell, just follow these simple steps.

 

Select the cell with the data you want to align.

 

 

Click on the alignment button of your choice on the formatting toolbar.

 

 

The Data will now be aligned the way you want it. In this case the data was centered in the cell by clicking the centre button on the formatting toolbar.

 

 

 

To align multiple items, select a range of cell by dragging the thick cross mouse pointer.

 

 

Once the range of cells is selected, click the alignment button of your choice on the formatting toolbar. In this instance the left alignment button was clicked, aligning all the data in the selected range to the left walls of the cells.

 

You can also align single or multiple items using the indent buttons on the formatting toolbar.

 

Just select the cell or range of cells with the data you want to align, and then click the indent buttons to adjust the alignment in increments.

 

Note: using the indent buttons may change the width of the column that contains the data.
