2 questions - one about inserting the date, other about adding lines.
 

hey,

im making a timeline plan for school, and when i enter the date such as
3/2/06 it autocorrects it and changes it to 03/02/2006 which i dont have
enough room for. is there a way so it doesnt automatically change it?

and the other is ive already typed up my table, disregarding the fact
that the grey lines between each cell dont get printed. so how do i add
these lines so when i print it it comes out as a table, and can i
customise these lines?

thanks for your help.

Hi

For the date format, then
FormatCellsNumberCustom and enter in the white pane d/m/yy if you
mean 3 Feb 06, or m/d/yy if you mean 2 Mar 06

To get the borders to cells either
FilePage SetupSheet check Print Gridlines
or
Mark your range of data the
FormatCellsBorderchoose border style

Try formatting the cells with the date. Go format Custom DD/MM/YY

The gridlines can be printed. Go to print preview. Setup and then the
Sheet tab. There's a option to print sheet.

The other way is to outline the area with a border.

Yes you can

I opened up the Character Map and selected Wingdings2 and Selected a
Dot and a X.

I then added to excel change the cell style to Wingdings2. Then I
wrapped the text to stack them

You an have the text configured to run vertically.
charcters don't have to be of the same font, nor size. some can be bold
italic etc

Plenty of possibilites
