Cell entry carryover to next cell
 

I have created a four cell header on a worksheet. I entered the title of the
header in the second cell expecting it to carryover into the third cell but
it didn't, nor can I figure out how do it. On other cells it carries over
fine. I tried formatting the cell to general but that didn't work.
Suggestions please. Thanks, Rick

A cell will accept a carry-over only if it is empty. So if you have text in
A1 and want it to caarry-over to B1, clear B1.

B1 was clear. I cleared it again to be sure but it still didn't carry. What
else can I try?

Select the cell with the text and the next cell; use Edit | Clear | all
Gary's Student is correct in what he told you so it must work.

Make sure you don't have wrap text turned on, too.

And if your header is a number, precede it with an apostrophe or preformat the
cell as text.

Maybe the text in that cell is not left aligned?
