Named one of the Top 10 Construction Achievements of the 20th Century, Hoover Dam continues to draw crowds 80 years after its creation. Attracting more than a million visitors a year, Hoover Dam is located in Black Canyon, just minutes outside of Las Vegas. On April 20, 1931, construction began on the Hoover Dam, the largest of its kind at the time. Despite the remote location and harsh working conditions, it was completed on March 1, 1936 in less than five years -- two years ahead of schedule -- and well under budget.
To add space inside your table, you can adjust cell margins or cell spacing. Cell margins are inside the table cell, like the blue arrow on the top of the graphic. Cell spacing is between the cells, like the orange arrow on the bottom.
You can span a cell across several columns, or span it down several rows. Excel doesn't include a function to split an individual cell into smaller cells, however. Step 1. Highlight the cell you want to expand, along with the cells you want to eliminate to make room. For example, if you want to expand a cell across three columns, highlight the cell and the two cells to its right. Step 2. Select the Home tab and click the arrow on the Merge & Center command.
