formatting shortcuts
 

Is there a way to do formatting quickly? Or is there a good place to learn
the logic of it?
I have a budget spreadsheet that was created somewhere else. It's quite
simple, prints on one 8.5 x 11 page, but updating the formatting takes longer
than updating the information. It was formatted with vertical lines between
the columns and some grayed rows for totals and headings.
The border lines don't always show up, and shaded areas (format cells,
pattern) sometimes copy and sometimes don't.
Thanks.

Help "shortcuts".

Select "keyboard shortcuts" and browse through.

There is a section on formatting.
