text in a cell
Text aligns to the left.
You can delete text in an Excel cell by pressing Backspace or highlighting the text and pressing Delete.
Row height can adjust automatically when things are done, like text made larger.
#name?
Right click on the cell then click on "format cells". Select 'text' under category on the NUMBER tab. click 'ok'.
Format the cell as text. You also can input a formula: =text(A1) Remark: if the content is in cell A1.
If it is a number that is in the cell that is not wide enough, Excel will fill the cell with # symbols. If it is text in the cell, either the text will only show what can fit in it if the next cell has something in it, or it will spill out across the neighbouring cells if they are empty, though the text will not actually be in those neighbouring cells.
In effect a cell in Excel is a box where either text, number or formula can be placed.
If the cell width is too short, Excel moreover plainly cuts the noticeable text off, or it flows into the subsequently cell (deepening if the subsequently compartment has some content in it or not). Excel displays ### when the cell content holds just text and if it exceeds 256 characters and the cell arrangement is position to "Text". Usually, background the cell format to "General" fixes this difficulty. However! If user bring into play this cell as a data-input to, for instance, a field in a merged Word document, only the first 256 characters will be clutched!!!
Select cell formatting and change to text. After than, Excel will treat the numbers in a cell the same as any other text characters. Also, you will not be able to use that cell in a formula, because the formula will not recognize the characters as numbers.
An indent pushes text in a slight amount from its normal position. It is more common in word processing where the first line is pushed in slightly in a paragraph, or sometimes a whole paragraph in the middle of a document. In Excel it can be used to push in text further into the cell, rather than starting at the edge.
