Format Cells - Alignment

Cell numbers, alignment, or background color can be formatted through the Format Cells dialog. To format a cell, select the cells to be formatted (see Selecting Worksheet Cells), and then click the Data | Format | Format Cells command. Use the Alignment page to align the cell in one of four ways. By default, imported ASCII files automatically align numbers to the right and text to the left.

Select the alignment options on the Alignment page of the Format Cells dialog.
