I am new to Excel. I am learning how to use it for data manipulation for my
monthly finance committee reports. However, I'd like to be able to type up,
in normal text formatting (Word), a summary at the end of the report, but I
don't know how to replace the spreadsheet features. e/g/ rows, columns and
cells with "blank" spots for my text.

Lets say your worksheet is from A1 thru H100 and you want to put your
narrative after this area. Select A101 thru H110 and:

Format Cells... Alignment Merge

Then type or paste into this large block
