EXCEL EXPERTS- please help!

[Magra]

I'm doing my older brothers homework on excel, and having some trouble. It's so simple but I can't figure it out.

I'm doing equations in it for some statistic class, and need to put a header on it. How do I do that? Do I just format the cells? I also have to add a bottom border to colums. Format the cells again? Either post here, or if you can get on AIM im xdirtysock09x

thanks!

a header header, or just in a cell?

[ScottHoward]

if youre talking header header, click view, then header footer, the rest will come to you

[ScottHoward]

you can also get there by using file>pagesetup>headerfooter, but its longer

bleh this sucks so much. I dont think i worded the question right, so I'm going to paint the diagram and maybe it will make more sense...gimmie a minute

[ScottHoward]

if youre trying to just combine like the cells at the top of a table, to make like one wide cell covering three columns or four or whatever then:
selected those cells and use the merge cells function.

if you dont have the shortcut to the merge cells on your toolbar, then:
rightclick your toolbar, choose customize, choose commands tab, choose format, find the merge cells function, drag it to your toolbar.

use the print preview function ---> Header/footer

[djames]

Use "center across selection" as alignment instead of merge. Much less of a pain if you want to copy/paste or make changes later.

have your older brother do his own homework

how much is he paying you?

[Magra]

Alright, another stupid question...

I merged the cells, but need to write some things into all of them. How do I do that?


Another thing I have to do says : "Add a bottom border to the column to the column titles in row 3" Doesn't say how to though.
