Overview
This video demonstrates how to use the "Format Cells" dialog box in Excel, specifically focusing on the "Alignment" tab. It explains various options for horizontal and vertical text alignment, including general, left indent, center, right, fill, justify, center across selection, and distributed. The video also touches upon text control features like wrap text, shrink to fit, and text orientation.
Key takeaways
- The "Format Cells" dialog box can be opened using the shortcut
Control + 1.
- The "Alignment" tab allows control over horizontal text alignment (general, left, center, right, fill, justify, distributed) and vertical alignment (top, center, bottom).
- "Center across selection" is a useful option that centers text across multiple selected cells without merging them, providing an alternative to merging cells.
- "Shrink to fit" reduces the text size to fit within the cell dimensions, which can alter the appearance of the text.
- Text orientation can be adjusted within the dialog box, although its practical application is noted as language-specific.
