Example: Plain Text

This first example demonstrates plain text in cells. Note that in this example, some of the cells are formatted (e.g., the column headers "Country", "City", and "Data" are bold faced). Since the formatting is applied at the cell level, cell styles and formatting is used to describe the formatting, rather than using text formatting on the text itself.

A later example demonstrates how to handle a variety of text formatting (rich text) within a single cell.
