Format Cells - Alignment

Cell numbers, alignment, or background color can be formatted through the Format Cells dialog. To format a cell, select the cells to be formatted, then select Data | Format | Format Cells. Use the Alignment page to align the cell in one of four ways. By default, imported ASCII text files automatically align numbers to the right and text to the left.
