Question
What are some formatting tips in Excel?
Answer
The row titles will stand out better if they are in bold type. You click the column with the titles and then, on the Home tab, in the Font group, you click Bold.
While the titles are still selected, you decide to change their color and their size, to make them stand out even more.
- In the Font group, you click the arrow on Font Color, and you see many more colors to choose from than before in Excel. You can see how the title will look in different colors by pointing at any color and waiting a moment. This preview means that you don't have to make a selection to see the color, and then undo your selection if it's not what you want. When you see a color you like, click it.
- To change the font size, you can either click the Increase Font Size button , or you can click the arrow beside the Font Size box to see a list of sizes (this method gives you the same live preview as for font colors).
- While the titles are still selected, you decide to center them in the cells. In the Alignment group, you click the Center button, and that's done.
