Open an Excel Spreadsheet
This is an example of a blank spreadsheet.
The Column headers are "A", "B", "C", etc.
The Row headers are "1", "2", "3", etc.
The Cell that is currently selected is A1
In this example, the "Row #1" is the headers for the individual
columns and the "A" column holds the names of the individual items.
Note that the header name in Column C - "Number of Petals" is
so long that appears to run over and appears to block Column
D. It DOES NOT block Column D. The words merely spill over.
Once you click in cell "D1" you will be able to type.

the right.
