Rows/columns in excel

how do i enter multiple rows or columns within a worksheet?

RE: rows/columns in excel

Hi Joanna

Thank you for your question.

When you say 'enter multiple rows or columns' I am assuming you mean to insert more than one row or column at a time.

As an example, say you want to enter four rows above row 9 in your spreadsheet:

1. Select rows 9, 10, 11 and 12 (4 rows)
2. Right-click on top of your selection and choose Insert. This should insert 4 rows for you above row 9.

You can do the same thing with columns, you just need to select the number of columns you wish to insert, to the right of the point where you want them to appear in the spreadsheet. For example, selecting columns A and B then using the method above will insert two columns to the left of column A.

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
