How to "Beautify" or make Presentable a spreadsheet
Hi,
Using this template, named "Commercial Invoice", as an example (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...T101172551033), look at the lower 1/4th of the form, left side, just below the "sub-total" section, there is a section named "Total Number of Packages". Below that there is a part, a box, with no grid lines for the space of two rows, but only on the left; the right side of the form has an area with row lines - and the two sides share the same linear space. Also, within the left box is a large "6" that takes up two rows without changing the height of the row (as far as I can tell). Question: How were those two presentation/formatting items accomplished? If there is some resource online that can teach me this, you are welcome to simply point me to it (if the knowledge is buried within that resource, please let me know that) instead of using up your time to make a mini-tutorial just for me. :-) Thanks.

How to "Beautify" or make Presentable a spreadsheet
Don,
Thank you for your answer. That was what I was looking for. Another Q: Is there a "Tips & Tricks" for Excel some where? I'd like to learn some of these not-so-obvious methods for working with spreadsheets.

Gord,
Thanks. I will, and have, done a similar search; I was hoping to hear what others liked in web resources of a similar vein. I should have been more wordy and explanatory. :-) I will peruse these boards for gems and nuggets of Excel how-tos. Have a great day.
