  2. Point to the border of the selected range, and the pointer should change to a four-headed arrow.
  3. Press the right mouse button, and drag the cells slightly to the right.

Enter Excel Data in a List

Use Excel's built-in Data Form to make it easier to enter data in a list. It will display a maximum of 32 fields.
  1. Select a cell in the list.
  2. Choose Data|Form
  3. Click the New button, and enter the new record
Note: Fields which contain a formula, such as Total in the Data form shown here, will not have a text box. The formula will be entered and calculated automatically.
For a data form with additional features, you can try John  Walkenbach's Enhanced Data Form. It's free, and allows unlimited fields
