underneath the row # until the pointer changes.
Click and drag to make the change.
• To change the COLUMN SIZE, put your mouse
to the right or left hand edge of the column until
the pointer changes. Click and drag to make the change.
•  DO: Change the SIZE of ROW #1 to 30.

font in ARIAL
• The letters in this CELL will overlap the next cell (B1)
•  DO: Type the word “COVER” in CELL B1 in 25 PT font
in ARIAL
• Cells overlap ONLY if there is nothing in the adjacent cell.

overlapped.
