Cell Defaults and Sheet Defaults are global definitions
that affect the entire spreadsheet, defining such
attributes as cell format, font, and alignment. By
changing the default options, you can affect all cells in
the spreadsheet. For example, you can tell NExS:
- ``This is a financial spreadsheet, so use a dollar
format for all cells. I will change the format for
the few cells I need for row and column titles.''
- ``Use Helvetica font with bold type for all cell
headings, and right-justify all new text entries.''
- ``I need a quick report for a presentation which
includes a detailed explanation in column D formatted
in a way that the text in column D is fully displayed
within the column boundaries required for a single
page width.''
Default characteristics are viewed and changed using the
Cell Defaults dialog box and the Sheet Defaults dialog
box available from the Options menu.
