- I saw a demo of this at our AMUG (Macintosh) meeting last night and cannot
- remember exactly how it's done. I believe, though, that you type the
- title into the leftmost cell and press enter. Then you select that cell
- and extend the selection to the right to cover the columns you wish to be
- centered over. Finally, and here's the part I am least sure of, you may
- just double click, or you may click on one of the icons in the toolbar.
- That's my recollection, anyhow.
-
- However, the COOLEST thing I saw in the demo by Rob X at Microsoft, was an
- automatical document formater. You simply select your entire spreadsheet,
- the rectangle of used cells, and press the autoformat icon in the toolbar.
- Excel formats the whole thing artfully with some borders and some color
- and some variety of font style, etc. If you don't like the first automatic
- format, click again and you get another one to choose from. I think Rob
- said there are 15 or 20 styles to choose from.

- The same technique might work. Try it and report back?
