2. Open the Home tab.
3. In the Alignment group, click the horizontal alignment control you need.
4. Choose Align Left, Center, or Align Right.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The text position in the selected cells changes based on the option you selected.

Tips While Using

2. Set Vertical Alignment

Entry: Home tab → Alignment group

1. Select the target cell range.
2. In the Alignment group, click the vertical alignment control.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The text position changes vertically inside the cell.
• What you can do next: You can continue adjusting row height, column width, or other formatting.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If the cell height is too small, the vertical alignment change may not be obvious.
• Environment note: If the spreadsheet is in a restricted editing state, some formatting changes may not apply immediately.

3. Open More Alignment Settings

Entry: Right-click → Format Cells → Text

1. Select the target cell range and right-click it.
2. Choose Format Cells from the shortcut menu to open the panel on the right.
3. Switch to the Text tab.
4. Choose the alignment you need under Horizontal Alignment and Vertical Alignment.
5. If needed, adjust text indentation in Indent.
6. Review the live result in the spreadsheet and continue editing.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The right-side panel shows text-related alignment options, and the spreadsheet reflects the changes.
• What you can do next: You can continue refining indentation or switch to other formatting settings.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Looking for the setting under Font can slow you down; the relevant controls are under Text.
• Environment note: Complex alignment styles can look different depending on content length, so check the preview result.
