< select this entire row, right-click to insert more space

This is a blank GANTT-style worksheet for informal planning. Basically, I print this out
like graph paper. I turn on PRINT GRID LINES and REPEAT TOP AND LEFT columns.
If you want to change the start date, type the new date into cell D3. The ribbon
calendar will automatically update.
If you want to add more items to the list, select the entire row by clicking the
ROW NUMBER as designated (row 18 , where it says "select this entire row").
Right-click and choose INSERT from the menu. If it says "Insert Cells" or something
like that you have to clear the currect selection by hitting the ESC key.
To add more columns, you will need to extend the date information in row 2,
which holds invisible dates from which rows 4-5-6 calculate what they neeed to show.
You will also have to extend the CONDITIONAL FORMATTING rules.
To group rows, use the DATA menu and group/ungroup as shown. There are expansion
icons on the left-hand side of the screen.
