[nabs-l] Excel Help

[Miranda Morse]

Hi, I also have a question about excel. When you are in the spreadsheet how
do you read the column and row titles?

Bryce and list, happy Easter! I can answer your first question,  Merged
cells in excel I supposed to be like that. I am taking a class in Excel and
have found that was easy to navigate, just press the tab or arrow keys to
move away from them. If you need to unmerge  a cell or group of cells, look
on the home tab (press alt H) for merge and center. There should be an
option and not submenu unmerged cells.
