Entering values

You enter values in the same way as you enter text: point to the cell where you want the value to appear, then type it in. Finish the entry in the same way as you would finish a text item (see Entering text).

Ability will display the word "Number" in the Cell Type box on the formula bar.

Note: Values are automatically put to the right of cells – this is to make sure that columns of figures line up neatly. You can change this alignment if you prefer (see Cell alignment).
