Aligning text

Excel 2007 left-aligns text (labels) and right-aligns numbers (values). This makes data easier to read, but you do not have to use these defaults. Text and numbers can be defined as left-aligned, right-aligned, or centered in Excel.

To align text or numbers in a cell:

  • Select a cell or range of cells.
  • Click on either the Align Left, Center, or Align Right commands on the Home tab.
Alignment Commands

 

  • The text or numbers in the cell(s) take on the selected alignment treatment.

Left-click a column label to select an entire column or a row label to select an entire row.
