Figure 118: The Format Cells dialog box consists of 7

pages

If the text does not fit the width of the cell, you can increase the width

by hovering the mouse over the line separating two columns and, when

the mouse cursor changes shape, clicking the left button and dragging

the separating line to the new position. A similar procedure can be

used to modify the height of a cell (or group of cells).

To insert rows and columns in a spreadsheet, use the Format menu or

right-click on the row and column headers and select the appropriate

option from the pop-up menu. To merge multiple cells, select the cells

to be merged and select Format > Merge cells from the main menu

bar. To de-merge a group of cells, select the group and again Format >

Merge Cells (which will now have a checkmark next to it).

When you are satisfied with the formatting and the appearance of the

table, exit the edit mode by clicking outside the spreadsheet area. Note

that Impress will display exactly the section of the spreadsheet which

was on the screen before leaving the edit mode. This allows you to hide

additional data from the view, but it may cause the apparent loss of

rows and columns. Therefore, take care that the desired part of the

spreadsheet is showing on the screen before leaving the edit mode.
