That's the standard for Spreadsheets. Comes in handy when you THINK a cell
houses a number and it's left aligned by default. -- Regards Dave Hawley www.ozgrid.com "Diana" wrote in message ... In a cell, Why are texts aligned to the left and numbers aligned to the right in MS Excel spreadsheet?

hi
microsoft chose this as default to mimic the real world. when we write on a piece of paper, we write left to right so text is left justified. when we add columns of numbers on a piece of paper, we add the smallest number on the right of the column first and add right to left. so numbers are right justified. regards FSt1 "Diana" wrote: In a cell, Why are texts aligned to the left and numbers aligned to the right in MS Excel spreadsheet?
