Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

Open the workbook contained in the folder shown above.

Make the following formatting changes:

  • Press CTRL + A to select the whole table and add borderlines
  • Select just the titles on row 1 and add shading as shown below:

  • Change the column width of column F and centre everything in this column

  • Select all of column E (click on the column letter) and add wordwrap so that you can see all the longer text entries in this column

  • Make column D wide enough to fit the longest text (double-click the column width icon on the line to the right of column D)

Columns D, E and F should now look much better:
