There are several commercial spreadsheet programs available, but Microsoft Excel is the most widely used spreadsheet software. Regardless of your version of Excel, you will likely need to add a blank line into an existing spreadsheet at some point. For instance, in an alphabetical list of contacts, you may have a new name you want to add in the middle of the list. Inserting a blank line, or row, in Excel is straightforward.
