    Question set up cells so a top row doesn't have columns?

    I am trying to format my resume into excel, so everything lines up. I'd like to make a row at the top for my header, but not have any columns for that top row only. How do I do this?

    You can line everything up in Word, too, by using the various tab positions/settings and alignment.

    As for Excel, and your problem, select all of the cells that make up 1 page width and click the Merge & Center button on the toolbar. It's usually just right of the Right Alignment button.

    Or, select the cells and choose Format->Cells.. and on the Alignment tab, check the box next to 'Merge Cells', and set the Horizontal alignment to Center.

    Hi, Steph. There is really no way to get rid of the columns. However, you can merge the cells, so that the first row appears to not have a column.

    Highlight the cells in the first row that are the width of your resume. Select Fomat > Cells from the menu, select the Alignment tab, and check Merge Cells.
