If, for example, a whole column contains whole dollar values and no cents, displaying .00 down the column looks cluttered. It is also important for number formats to be consistent and decreasing or increasing decimal places can keep numbers consistent in a row, column, or range. Diff: 3 Objective: 10. Apply number formats 98) Describe page orientation when printing. What is the default and in what circumstances may you want to change orientation? Answer: Orientation displays the orientation of the physical page--portrait, for worksheets with more rows than columns, and landscape, for worksheets with more columns than can fit in portrait orientation. Portland orientation is the default. Landscape orientation is more appropriate when a worksheet has many columns and fewer rows. Diff: 2 Objective: 11. Select page setup options 99) Describe three features available for headers and/or footers. Answer: A header and/or footer can appear at the top and/or bottom of every printed page of a workbook.
