OBJECTIVE OF THE CLASS
Create a crossword in a Google spreadsheet, using the fill, border, font, cell alignment formats and add comment to cells.
EDGES, FILLING We can give a little life to our spreadsheets by adding borders and background colors to the cells using the border and cell fill tools, in the previous class we already used a simple example of the design of tables in spreadsheets : To add a border:
- Select a cell or range of cells.
- Click on the Borders button. A menu of border options appears. There, you can select where the borders appear, around the outside of the selection or cell borders within the selection.
- Select a border option.
To put a fill color:
- With a cell or range of cells selected, click the Fill Color button.
- Select a fill color.
WE WILL CARRY OUT THE EXAMPLE TOGETHER WITH YOUR TEACHER
COMMENTS IN CELLS To insert a comment in a cell (such as a type of annotation or message to highlight in a specific cell) we simply do the following 3 steps:
- Click on the cell to which you will add the comment.
- Look in the menu that appears for the “comment” option.
- A space will appear in which the text you want to put as a comment will be added and that's it.

CLASS ACTIVITY
Today we will put into practice the learnings from the previous class in creating a crossword like the one shown below.
INSTRUCTIONS
Open Google Drive and find the folder where the new file will be created.
Use the NEW button and select the SPREADSHEETS option.
Change the file name to “CELL FORMATS”.
Select the columns and adjust their width so that they appear square.
Now copy the texts and the formats. Try to place them in the same cells as the image.
The formats are as follows
The cell fill is called "dark blue 3"
The edges of the table are gray
The color of the letter inside the table is also "dark blue 3".
Now you have to indicate the definitions so that they can answer your crossword. For this we will use "Comments"
These comments will be inserted in the cells indicated with a small red triangle.
To create a comment you have to right click on the cell where it will be inserted.
Type in the definitions that you investigated in Personal Work and also indicate if the word is written in Horizontal or Vertical.
When you finish all the formats, the 17 comments with the definitions and your personal data, you will send the file through the publication of Activity in the new Classroom of your group.
