Formats can be quickly and consistently applied to segments of data. Once a format has been created (see
Create a New Format), it can be applied to any part (or all) of the data in a spreadsheet.
To apply an existing format, follow these instructions:
- In the spreadsheet, select the cells that you want to format.
- You can display the
Format Manager dialog box.
- Ribbon bar. Select the
Format tab. In the
Block group, click
Format Manager to display the
Format Manager dialog box.
- Classic menus. From the
Format - Block submenu, select
Format Manager to display the
Format Manager dialog box.
- Select the name of the format you want to apply to the selected cells.
Note: You can also right-click the block of selected cells in the spreadsheet, and from the shortcut menu, select the desired format from the
Format submenu.
