In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have an existing document with your data already entered, you can double-click it to open it; otherwise, you'll need to open a new workbook and enter your data now. This method is useful for text that you already have in your spreadsheet. Note that this cell must be different than the cell in which your target text appears. The LEFT and RIGHT formula are built on the same premise, though the LEFT formula displays characters from the left side of your cell's text and the RIGHT formula displays characters from the right. The formula is "=DIRECTION(Cell Name, Number of characters to display)" without the quotation marks. For example:   =LEFT(A3, 6) displays the first six characters in cell A3. If the text in A3 says "Cats are better", the truncated text will read "Cats a" in your selected cell.  =RIGHT(B2, 5) displays the last 5 characters in cell B2. If the text in B2 says "I love wikiHow", the truncated text will read "kiHow" in your selected cell. Keep in mind that spaces count as characters. Your selected cell will automatically fill with the truncated text.
Summary: Open Microsoft Excel. Select the cell where you want the truncated text to appear. Type the LEFT or RIGHT formula into your selected cell. Press Enter when the formula is complete.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is usually played against overpitched deliveries.  Stand on a balanced back foot. Place the front foot up to the toes (padded portion) vertical or upright. Hold the bat horizontally close to the pitch by the phase of the bat in an opposite manner. Move the  bat to the offside so that the ball is struck the instant it touches the ground. This shot was made famous by Kevin Pietersen in 2008. In this shot, a batsman changes his handedness and posture to adopt a stance the mirror image of his traditional handedness while the bowler is running in to bowl. As a fielding team cannot change the placing of fielders while the bowler is in his run-up, the fielding side is effectively wrong-footed with the fielders out of position. This shot's legality was confirmed by the ICC in 2008.The shot is risky because a batsman is less proficient in the other handedness and is more likely to make a mistake in the execution of his shot.
Summary: Hitting a reverse sweep. Try a switch hit shot.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Since slate tiles can vary slightly in size, it is important to do a dry run with your tiles so you know where to adjust the surface level and position of your tiles. Draw an “x” through the room with chalk. When the lines cross they will create a 90-degree angle on which you can check for even spacing. Use tile spacers during the dry run to ensure you have even spacing. If you do, you will want to reposition your layout, so that cut tiles of even width can be laid at either end. This will result in a symmetrical floor. Measure the tile to account for a one-eighth-inch (0.3-cm) grout space along the wall. You can cut slate tile with a diamond-blade wet saw, grinder or hacksaw with an abrasive blade. Place a line of chalk on them during your dry run, so that you can make this important change when you lay your mortar.
Summary:
Sketch a layout for the color scheme of the slate. Measure lines through the width and length of the room. Lay out your tile to figure out the best use of color. Decide if you will need to cut tile at the edges of the room. Cut tiles to fit around the edges of the room. Mark tiles that require extra thinset on the back to create an even surface.
