Instructions
1. Open Microsoft Excel. Highlight five cells across, and six rows down. Create a bold border around the table, and inside. You should now have a grid.
2. Place your cursor over the line between cell A1 and B2 to adjust cell width by clicking and dragging the vertical line. The cells should be large enough to accommodate a 36-point font. Place your curser on the line dividing the five rows of cells, one at a time. Click and drag the cursor to adjust the height of the cell. The cells in the top row should be square.
3. Repeat Step 2 in the remaining cells, but make them slightly smaller. They should be able to accommodate a 32-point font.
4. Select the entire table, and click on the option to center the text you will be adding into the cells. Type in the top five cells the letters B, I, N, G, and O.
5. Type the corresponding numbers in the columns below the top row. The "B" row consists of numbers one through 15. The "I" row consist of numbers 15 through 29. The "N" row consists of numbers 30 through 45 and a free space. The "G" row consists of numbers 46 through 60. The "O" column represents the numbers 61 through 75. Randomly place these numbers in the corresponding boxes, being sure not to duplicate any rows.
