I am applying for a job that will entail entering text into an Excel spreadsheet. I know how to operate Excel with numbers (money, etc.) but text? Would formulas be involved? What is the point in using Excel to enter text, wouldn't a simple WP program work?

Thanks for any help. Confused

I suggest you select the row or column where you wish to apply the text. Once selected, open the Format Menu/ Format Cell tool and format for text.


I assume this is done to insure that no mathmatical formulas are applied to text.

Thank you, Dwight! What I will be doing is taking text information from a cell, revising it, then entering the revised version back into the cell. So I assume the column will already be selected for text.

I wish I had your brain, Big Guy.
