Default Adding text to Excel Worksheet

I am trying to put my acting resume into an excel worksheet. I do okay until
I try to add my list of training and "additional" information at the bottom
ot the worksheet. How do I add textual material to a worksheet?

Default Adding text to Excel Worksheet

You should be able to just click in a cell and begin typing or just
copy and paste your data from it's original source into excel.

Once in excel, go to Format- cells to format the cell's text into
what ever format you are looking for.

I'm not sure if you've worked with it, but Word has a few decent
resume templates that might be a little easier to work with than
Excel. In Word, go to File- New and search for a resume template
online.

I was not aware of the word templates, but I may just resort to trying to use
them.
Thank you very much.

Text can either be typed directly into cells or entered into a TextBox.

Default Adding text to Excel Worksheet

When I try to just type the text into a single cell, the printout only shows
a portion of the text. I will see if I can figure out the textbox idea.
Thank you very much.

How much text are you typing into the cell?

You can enter 32767 characters in a cell but Excel will show or print only 1024
of these characters.

Add a linefeed every 100 chars using Alt + ENTER
