Edit Spreadsheet Layout

Click the Edit button in the Spreadsheet Layout dialog box to display the Edit Spreadsheet Layout dialog box, which is used to create new formats, edit existing formats, and delete formats within a spreadsheet layout. Use the options in this dialog box to choose which formats are applied to the different sections of the spreadsheet, and you can choose to preview any selected formats as well as the complete set of formats.
