Text messaging, the sending of short text messages from a mobile phone to other mobile phone users, has evolved into the number one preferred

channel of basic communicati on for teenagers. This is parti ally due to the user’s ability to text people without being logged onto a computer. Texti ng is also less intrusive and less expensive than a phone call. The Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project Survey reports that 54% of teenagers between the ages of 12 to 17 use text messaging as their primary form of communicati on with friends, followed by 38% communicati ng by cell phone, 33% face-to-face, 30% using landline phones, 25% logging onto social network sites, 24% instant messaging, and only 11% using email. Fully 72% of both teens and adults use text messaging.

The following acti vity illustrates how spreadsheets can be used to compare the texti ng frequency of teens versus adults.


1. Change font size.

2. Use bold, italics, and underline text-style enhancements.





3. Apply the following text enhancements:

a. Bold cell A2 and change the font size to 14 point.

b. Bold cells F8 and H8.

c. Bold and underline cells A9, F9, and H9.

d. Italicize cells A21 and A22.

4. Center align the data in cells F8 – F15 and H8 – H15.
