hi, i have a spreadsheet that has about 30 rows of data. is there any way by merging cells etc. to make a verticle title for the sheet on the left most column going down, so that the text in the title is EVENLY SPACED FROM ROW 1-30, even if it is short like just the word &quot;2000 Money&quot;?<br>if anyone could answer this i would really be happy:) , thanx in advance&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Peter<br>
 
You're about to be happy if you run Excel 97 or Excel 2000.<br><br>Select cells 1 through 30 in Column A. Hit Format-Cells and on the Alignment tab, take the alignment &quot;line&quot; that runs from the center to the right and drag the right end of the &quot;line&quot; upwards to the top of the clock-looking thing so that it runs from the center to the top (sort of like turning the clock hand back 15 minutes).<br><br>Set vertical alignment and horizontal alignment both to centered. Select Merge Cells, then OK.<br><br>Set your font point size to be 36 points bold (I used Arial). Then, when you type it, put a space between each letter and three spaces between the two words.<br><br>Happy camper? <p> <br><a href=mailto: dreamboat@nni.com> dreamboat@nni.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>
