diff. between LTM and TTM / shortcut for wrap/ shortcut for merge cells

Monkeys,

Is there a difference between LTM and TTM? I'm under the impression that it just means the previous consecutive 12 months before a certain date, which doesn't necessarily have to be today. (For example, LTM EBITDA as of 3/31/2007 would cover the 12 month interval prior to 3/31/2007. Is this the same as TTM EBITDA?

Also,

What are the shortcuts for wrap and merge cells? Ctrl + 1 --> Alignment is getting tedious...

Thanks!

I learned this through experience.Merged cells are awful, except in a few cases.

Rule of thumb - always keep ALL your columns IDENTICALLY sized, typically at the default width. If you need a bigger column you just let the text run into the next column and take up two columns for one table column, don' t resize it.

Never merge cells. Always Ctrl + 1 and center across selection. It's a pain to when you have to copy and paste merged cells.

This is gold. Thank you.

Haters gonna hate
