Formatting a spreadsheet can be done in two modes.  
+
Formatting a spreadsheet involves two important formats.  
# Text formatting : Most of the formatting options available in LibreOffice Writer are available in Calc also. Making the text bold, italicized, increasing/reducing font size, font color etc are all available. Data can also be formatted based on what it represents - date, time, currency, etc. The numeric information display format in terms of "000" separators or number of decimal places can be configured.

# Alignment of Text inside the cell : Since in Calc we give much importance for cells, we need to take care of the text alignment inside the cell also. Such alignments can be Top, center and bottom. Wrap text option allows the text which gone out of the cell to be aligned within the cell boundary.

* Merge cell combines two or more cells together to make it as one. For example, If you want the main heading to be given in a particular column which is having two or more sub menus or subsections you can use this feature. To merge cells, select two or more cells and right click on anyone of the selected cells and click on merge cell.
