ESSAY
81. ANS:
All of these formatting tools provide sets of predefined formats that can be applied quickly, saving the user
considerable time. A theme is applied to an entire workbook, providing overall consistency and a professional
look. A table style is designed to be applied to a range of related data. It provides options such as banded
columns, header rows and columns, and total rows. Cell styles are used to format specific ranges of cells.
A theme could be applied to a company’s workbook using the same colors and fonts used in the company
logo, advertisements, letterhead, and so forth, providing a unified, professional look. A table style could be
applied to sales data to improve its readability by setting off column headings and using banded rows. A cell
style could be applied to a row of data to attract the reader’s attention.

Some of the ways that worksheet cells can be formatted include:
*Changing the font.
*Changing the font size.

Different methods are provided to meet different needs. Some people prefer to the use the keyboard or mouse
to perform tasks, while others prefer to use the Ribbon’s tabs, groups, buttons, and dialog boxes. In addition,
some methods may allow for more precision than others. For example, if you specify an exact width for a
column, the width will probably be more precise than if you drag the column’s border.
Three methods of changing the width of a column are:
*Position the pointer at its border and drag to the left or right.
*Double-click the border to use AutoFit.
*Choose Home>Cells>Format and click Column Width. Key the exact width in the Column Width box and
click OK.

A SmartArt graphic may be used to emphasize a point about the data in the worksheet. For example, in a
worksheet that reveals annual profits of five retail stores, you might use SmartArt to display information
about the store with the largest sales. Graphics also can be used to summarize data. The advantages of
SmartArt graphics is that they attract attention, make the worksheet interesting, and can present data in a
visual format.
Some ways that a SmartArt graphic can be modified include:
*Moving it to a different location.
*Changing its size and/or the size of its components.
*Changing the formatting of the text.
*Changing the colors used in the graphic.
*Adding shape effects.
