  13. How do I use the Format Cells dialog box? Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  14. How do I adjust column and row size? A column too narrow will display as #####. The entire column width can be changed, but not just one cell To adjust the width, position the pointer between two column headings. When the shape changes to , press and hold the left mouse button while you drag to adjust the width of the column Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  15. How do I adjust column and row size? If a label is too long to fit into a cell, it will extend into the cell on the right if that cell is empty. If not, the label will be cut off Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  16. How do I adjust column and row size? Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  17. How do I center and align cell contents? By default, labels are left-aligned while values and formulas are right-aligned. Typically, you will want to center or right-align a label when it is a column heading. Select the header cell and click the Align Text Right button. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  18. How do I center and align cell contents? Select a range of cells and click the desired alignment button to align a range of cells. Click column header at top of a column to select entire column. Click row header on left of row to select all cells in row. To center text across columns, select the range, then click the Merge & Center button. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  19. How do I center and align cell contents? To merge a range of cells in a column: Select the range Click the Merge & Center button in the Alignment group on the Home tab The down-arrow button next to the Merge & Center button allows you to Unmerge cells Merge without centering Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  20. How do I center and align cell contents? Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  21. What happens when I copy and move cells? Use the Cut, Copy, and Paste buttons to copy or move cell contents to a different worksheet location. Label data is copied or moved without changing. When you copy and paste cells containing a formula, the copied formula is altered to work in the new location. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  22. What happens when I copy and move cells? A cell reference that changes when a formula is copied or moved is called a relative reference. Unless you specify otherwise, Excel treats all cell references as relative. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  23. What happens when I copy and move cells? To move data in cells: select the cells, then click the Cut button click the new cell, then click the Paste button When you copy or move data in a range, click the cell in the top-left corner where you want the data to be pasted Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  24. What happens when I copy and move cells? A formula containing a relative reference changes when it is copied or moved. Example: Assume cell C4 contains the formula =C2+C3. If you copy and paste that formula to cell F4, the formula will be changed to =F2+F3. This is because the references C2 and C3 are relative references. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  25. What happens when I copy and move cells? When the formula was in cell C4, Excel interpreted it as: =(the contents of the cell two rows up) + (the contents of the cell one row up) When it was copied to cell F4, Excel adjusted the formula so it retained the same relative references, making it =F2+F3. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  26. What happens when I copy and move cells? Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  27. When should I use absolute references? Sometimes, you do not want cell references to change when moved to a new location. An absolute reference will not change and always refer to the same cell. To create an absolute reference, insert a dollar sign ($) before the column reference and another dollar sign before the row reference. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  28. When should I use absolute references? If you want to use an absolute reference in a formula, begin typing, then press the F4 key after you click a cell to add it to the formula. Pressing the F4 key changes the current reference to an absolute reference. References can be combined so only one row or column is an absolute reference. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  29. When should I use absolute references? For example, $C1 creates an absolute column and a relative row reference C$1 creates a relative column and an absolute row reference The absolute identifier will not change, but the relative identifier will. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  30. When should I use absolute references? Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  31. How do I delete and insert rows and columns? When you insert or delete rows or columns, Excel will adjust your formulas to refer to the correct cells. To insert a row, select a row, click the down-arrow button next to Insert in the Cells group, then click Insert Sheet Rows. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  32. How do I delete and insert rows and columns? To insert more than one row, drag down over the number of rows to insert and follow the same steps for inserting a row To delete rows, select rows, drag over the rows you want to delete, click the down-arrow button next to Delete in the Cells group, then click Delete Sheet Rows Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13

  33. How do I delete and insert rows and columns? Use the same procedures to insert and delete columns. Excel will adjust the relative cell references in formulas to keep them correct as you insert or delete. Practical Computer Literacy, 2nd edition Chapter 13
