Let’s make the width of each cell narrower, so that we can fit everything onto one screen without having to scroll across. Next, select “ Wrap Text” – this will ensure all the text you enter is visible, even if it’s too big for the cell.
“Align Text Centre”, Horizontally and Vertically. Select all cells in the Worksheet by clicking the Grey Triangle in the top left-hand corner. Let’s start by making a few adjustments to the layout which will help us build the logbook. We’re going to start by Opening a New Blank Workbook. Google Sheets is basically an online version of Excel that you can access through your web browser on any device and have it sync through the cloud – and the best part – it’s all free. If you don’t have Microsoft Excel, and you’re an Apple user, you can use Numbers or you can use a free alternative like Google Sheets. Of course, you can change the format to suit your own countries layout, so, to make this whole process easier for yourself, it’s a great idea to have your own Paper Logbook next to you – so that you can reference the correct layout and the heading names etc. We’re going to make an electronic version based on the Jeppesen Pilot Logbook layout.
