Hi there Sci Fi fans, my name is Maurice Humphrey. I am a Vermont native, husband, father, grandfather, well over 60, Navy veteran, retired IBM engineer, retired printer repairman, Graduated: Goddard Jr. College, VT Technical College, and Trinity College. Over the years I've written technical articles, taught technical classes, and presented at technical conventions. I've been reading science fiction for over 50 years now. First books were "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" by Jules Verne and "The Stars Are Ours" by Andre Norton. I've read and collected many great stories, and a considerable amount of junk ones as well. I'd say by now that I probably have a good idea of what I consider a good story.

INTRODUCTION
This book is part of the Easy Excel 2024 Essentials series of titles. These are targeted titles that are excerpted from the main Excel 2024 Essentials series and are focused on one specific topic.
If you want a more general introduction to Excel, then you should check out the Excel 2024 Essentials titles instead; in this case, Excel 2024 for Beginners which covers formatting as well as a number of other beginner topics such as sorting, filtering, and basic calculations.
But if all you want is a book that covers this specific topic, then let’s continue with a discussion of how to format text and cells in Excel.
FORMATTING
It’s all well and good to enter data into Excel. Pretty easy at its core, right, you just click and type. But without formatting your data you can end up with a hideous looking mess that’s hard to use. Especially if you want to print anything.
Here, for example, is the print preview for two pages of an imported but unformatted report from one of my vendors:
Unformatted data in multiple columns that blends together and is cut off.Unformatted data that shows numbers in scientific format and cells where the values are just #### because the column isn’t wide enough to display.There are no lines separating the different columns of data. Text is cut off for a number of columns. Whatever is in that End Date column on the second page isn’t even visible because the column isn’t wide enough to display it. And both Apple ID and Vendor ID are written in scientific notation.
Taking something like that mess and formatting it before you start working with it is essential. Even if you enter your own data, formatting is essential. You do not want to print most data without borders. And I don’t think I’ve ever created a worksheet where I didn’t need to adjust column widths. So this chapter matters. A lot.
And because I expect you to come back to this chapter when you need it, I’m going to present the formatting options alphabetically to make them easier to find later.
