Paul Morris' "Parts of a Spreadsheet"

What is a spreadsheet? In this reading, you will examine the basic building blocks of a spreadsheet. As you read, try to answer the following questions: What is the difference between a row and a column? Which is identified by a number, and which is identified by a letter? How are cells formed?

Examine and memorize the definitions of cells, rows, and columns below and see examples of each.
