I have a workbook with three worksheets and one chartsheet in it. I have
notes documenting various aspects of the four sheets. Some of those notes
are on electronic post-it notes and others on scraps of paper. It seems to
me that a convenient way to consolidate all of my documentation for the
workbook would be to add another worksheet to it and put the information in
it.

What would be the best way to format the worksheet so that I could type
information into it as if I were using a text editor?
 
Leslie,

Excel isn't really all that set up for text. I sometimes make narrow
columns, then make the notes outline style, using the columns for the
indenting. Just move-drag (by the border) the cells around as needed.
 
Hi, Earl.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

In the end, I widened col A until it was the width of the page, hid the col
letter and row numbers and turned on wrap text. That gave me what looked
like a piece of lined paper. It was adequate for my purpose.

I'm sure there are other things I could do too, if only I knew more about
the various formatting options available.

Thanks again.
