Inserting a cell

When working in an Excel XP worksheet, you may need to insert or delete cells without inserting or deleting entire rows or columns.

To Insert Cells:

• Select the location where the new cell(s) should be inserted. It can be a single cell or a range of cells.
• Right-click and choose Insert.
  
  Note: You could also choose Insert Cell on the menu bar.
  
  
  
  
• The Insert dialog box opens. Select either:
• Shift cells right to shift cells in the same row to the right.
• Shift cells down to shift selected cells and all cells in the column below it downward.
  
  
  
  
• Choose an option and click the OK button.
• Your result displays in the spreadsheet.
  
  
  
  

Remember, you can also use the Insert dialog box to insert or delete columns and rows.
