Entering Data in Microsoft Works Spreadsheets

Planning a Works Spreadsheet

Entering data into a Microsoft Works spreadsheet is as easy as clicking on a cell, typing a number, a date, or some text and then pressing the ENTER key on the keyboard.

Even though it is easy to enter data, it is a good idea to do a bit of planning before you begin to type.

Points to consider:

1. What is the purpose of the spreadsheet?
   
   
2. What information needs to be included?
   
   
3. What headings are needed to explain the information in the Works spreadsheet?
   
   
4. What is the best layout for the information?
