NExS lets you define how the cell contents is displayed in the
cell. This includes the type of format category (such as fixed or
date) and number of decimal places when applicable. The default for
the whole sheet is changed in the Cell Defaults dialog box
from the Options menu. However, you can control the format
used in an individual cell or range of cells by using the
Cell Format dialog box from the Format menu. You can only
choose one format; when you make a selection, NExS automatically
turns off the previous selection. See Table 4.1
for a list of the formatting selections.
To change default Cell Format:
- Select Cell Defaults from the Options menu. NExS
displays the Cell Defaults dialog box as shown in
Figure 8.1.
- Click the Cell Format and/or Decimal Places option
button to select the desired format.
- Apply your selection by clicking OK or Apply.
To change the Cell Format for individual cells:
- Select a cell or range of cells to be affected.
- Select Cell Format from the Format menu. NExS
displays the Cell Format dialog box as shown in
Figure 8.3.
- Click the Cell Format and/or Decimal Places option
button to select the desired format.
- Apply your selection by clicking OK or Apply.
