Not sure if you need this but here is my info: computer: custom build - Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2808 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 6 Logical Processor(s); Memory - 16GB DDR4-3000; Video - Radeon RX480 8GB; Storage - Intel 600p Series 1TB M.s-2280 SSD and 500GB SSD 2.5"; OS - MS Windows 10 Pro 64bit; MS Office 2016

I am updating my password spreadsheet and want to move it into the 21st century. I have been using this spreadsheet for years and want to update it and create a new one. My old sheet had 4 columns (SITE, LOGON, PASSWORD & WEB ADDRESS) with the top row in bold and centered with a box around it. Then I would enter my info onto a different row and go on from there. I tried to make a section for specific sites (for example: BILLS) and I would create a row with "BILLS" in the first column and then move to the new row and hit the spacebar 3 times to indent the site name (example: ABC Bank) then tab to next column enter LOGON info and so on. I would go to the next row on do the same until I entered all of the sites. I would then enter the next site normally. I did it this way all though out my sheet. I would have most sites justified to the left until I wanted to create a new section again like MEDICAL and then I would do the NAME and then go to next row and then hit the spacebar 3 times and repeat as needed. After I got done with entering/updating the info I tried to create bold line/boxes around the different sections and the boarder of the spreadsheet. I would do this by selecting an area and then use the "Format Cells > Border" to create the boarder/box/lines around the info. If I needed to add more rows, I would go to the row after where I wanted it inserted and right click and Insert and new row. As you can imagine, this messed up my format and I would have to go back in and try to fix it.

Here is what I am trying to do:
1. create a new spreadsheet
2. have the 4 columns
3. have a bold outline around the entire sheet
4. have the 1st row cells in Bold, Centered with a bold box around each cell
5. have each line in each row a slight dark line
6. be able to create a section for different groups of sites like: Bills, Medical, School classes. etc.
7. have the name of the section in its own row, with a bold box around the whole row, and the inside divider lines removed
8. have the site name indented 3 spaces for each site that is in each section
9. be able to insert a new site and have it format to what area/section it was inserted. Example: when it is inserted as a normal site it has the bold lines at the start & end of the row with the inside normal darkness. If inserted into a section, it would indent the site name and format as needed.
10. have the top row frozen and printed on each sheet printed (I think I have this)

Here is a screenshot of what I am trying to do(I HOPE)

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
I would recommend instead of using spaces for indent, you use another column. Put section headings in column A and site names in column B. (or B and C if you want row numbers in column A?) You can make the column with the section headers very narrow, and as long as wrap-text is turned off and the next cell (column C) is blank, the section name will spill over. Then you have a slight indent and you don't have to worry about putting spaces in the cells with the site names. (I think adding spaces could probably be done with VBA, but I doubt it's worth the effort).

For borders:
I'm running Excel 2010 and if I format borders as you describe (thick box borders around sections, thin lines for each row), and then insert a row into the middle somewhere, it keeps my borders intact. What's happening to your formatting when you add a row?

If you're having trouble getting your borders set up in the first place, I recommend playing with the "more borders" option (last choice in the drop-down button for borders).

Thanks, I'll give it a try in the morning and let you know how it go.
