To align data:

1	Select the cells you want to align.
2	Choose Alignment from the Format menu, then choose General, Left, Center, or Right from the submenu.
	General (the default alignment) aligns text to the left and numbers to the right.
	Tip: You can also turn on cell word wrap by choosing Wrap from the submenu.
