Default Basic Excel Formatting to Make a Readable Document

If you are saying that you do no know how to, "show gridlines" (and I am not
sure that you are) this is how to do that in EXCEL 2007:-

Page Layout / Page Setup - in here click on the arrow in the lower right
hand corner / Page Set up should launch / Sheet tab - in here place a green
tick in the Gridlines field / OK

Gridlines will now be added.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

I want to make an invoice template in Excel, to take advantage of the ability
to calculate time, rate, total, etc. When I download a template off the MS
site, it's close to what I want, but I need to customize it a bit more. So I
"show gridlines", and I can see that some rows have cells that are wide
(merged?), followed by a row that will have 2 or 3 cells in the same width of
space that the row above has. This allows the person a lot of flexibility to
put text into precise places on the written page. But, I don't know how to do
it. Nor do I know how or if you can adjust the width of those individual
cells to suit your needs. It seem like you can adjust the width of a column,
but not a single cell (say, in those 2-3 cells under the wider cell). Any
help doing this is appreciated.
