to increase the width of the column.
•
To hide the moving marquee around a copied selection, press ESC (located in the upper-left
corner of your keyboard).
•
To use the Format Painter to format multiple, non-adjacent cells, on the Standard toolbar, double-
click Format Painter, and then select (or "paint") the cells that you want to format. When you are
finished formatting, press ESC.
•
To undo a mistake entering data, click Edit > Undo (or press ⌘+Z).
