I've just managed to work out all the Indent options. The only one I cannot
understand is the Distributed (Indent) option. What is this supposed to do
to text inside a cell?

I know this is extremely basic but I can't see any difference?

Thank you.

Dear all

I am using Excel 2003 and have just noticed that the Alignment tab in the
Format Cells dialog box has more options. However, I cannot 'understand'
some of them. For instance, Left (Indent), Right (Indent), Fill, Distributed
(Indent). I have entered text into a cell and have tried all these options
but fail to see what difference they make. The text isn't indented?

Can anybody help me with these simple formatting options?

Thank you.
