Align, wrap and rotate text
Wrap long text inside its cell, line values up left, center, right, top or bottom, and know where to rotate text.
In this lesson
- With no alignment chosen, text sits left, numbers sit right, and both sit at the bottom.
- Format, then Rotation (or Text rotation on the toolbar) tilts, stacks or turns text.
- Alignment, wrapping and rotation change only where a value sits, never the value.
