www.gcflearnfree.org/excel2010 Spreadsheets that have not been formatted can be difficult to read. Formatted text and cells can draw attention to specific parts of the spreadsheet and make the spreadsheet more visually appealing and easier to understand. In Excel, there are many tools you can use to format text and cells. In this lesson, you will learn how to change the color and style of text and cells; align text; and apply special formatting to numbers and dates. Many of the commands you will use to format text can be found in the Font, Alignment, and Number groups on the ribbon. Font commands let you change the style, size, and color of text. You can also use them to add borders and fill colors to cells. Alignment commands let you format how text is displayed across cells both horizontally and vertically. Number commands let you change how selected cells display numbers and dates. Watch the video to learn how to use Font, Alignment, and Number commands to format text in an Excel 2010 workbook.
