Select the columns in question. Then from the menu choose Format columns tab across to 'autofit' and press enter. Job done. 2. average. If you want the average of a range of cells, in a cell remote from this range enter the formula: =avg(a10:b99). Job done. Do remember though, that their are three kinds of average in statistics. 3. printing range. Highlight your range. Menu file print area. You have then defined the area to print. Having done this: menu file print setup and then define your preferences.
