Key Points

  • You can create workbooks, worksheets, chart sheets, and list sheets from scratch or from templates.

  • You can populate worksheets by typing, pasting, or importing data.

  • If a cell contains more data than can be displayed in the existing space, you can resize the cell by dragging or double-clicking the column selector or row selector, or by specifying the size in the Column Width or Row Height dialog box.

  • You can fill adjacent cells with a series of data based on at least one entry. If none of the standard alphanumeric series fits your needs, you can easily create a custom fill series.
