    • If you want to shift the selected cells down, click downwards.

    Inserting Blank Rows

    • To insert a single row, click in the cell below, where you want to insert the new row.
    • To insert multiple rows, select the rows where you want to insert the new rows.
    • Select the same numbers of rows to insert.
    • On the Insert menu, click rows and do click.
    • This will insert the described number of rows.

    Splitting of Screen

    • Sometimes you want to constantly view a section of the worksheet but at the same time, you need to navigate to other sections to simultaneously have a look at those two distinct parts of the worksheet.
    • This is not possible by using simple navigation.
    • To split your screen so that one and other sections can be separately viewed while in other screens, you can scroll to a far away part of the worksheet.
