Dumb Excel Question

[squall_01]

I'm using 03 ver of excel.  I made a list so that I can know when to have the oil changed.  How do I put lines in the cells?  Like a straight line without manually doing it.

I'm sorry but I'm having a tough time understanding what type of line you mean.
Do you mean to underline your "text" or to vertically divide the cell into two halves, or something completely different?
Could you rephrase the question or tell us of its purpose, please?

A line to write stuff in.  like what you see on fill in the blanks.

I use Excel 2000, but the process should basically be the same.

If you want to separate a horizontal line of objects within a cell, you should select a group of cells under the line of objects you want to separate with this horizontal line.

Once you have the group of cells selected, simply use the toolbar to format the group of cells and add a border to the bottom of those cells.

You can use the print preview to see how this looks.

I have not seen an instance in Excell where you can add a horizontal rule...instead you have to use the process I've described above.

Hopefully, this is what you're looking to do, please let us know, okay?

I was tring to do that, but you have to do it for each an every cell.  I want a whole range to use.

Select a cell...

Then holding down the Shift key, select a range of cells using your right arrow key.  Then format the cells to only have a border at the bottom of the cells you've selected.

I could just simply put it at the cell instead of selecting a range.  At the bottom of the range of the cells, I want it to show up in the selected cells. 

[stevejohnson1958]

When selecting your cells that you want to format with this border at the bottom...instead of using the Shift key, use the Ctrl key and click each of the cells you want to format with this border.

Oh thanks now its working.

You're welcome...glad I could be of service.

LOL by the time you wrote and waited for those replies you could have done each cell individually at least 53,889* times.
