Background Color: Allows you to change the background color of the selected cell.

Make modifiable / Scraping: Allows to change the content of a cell manually. Select the cell then this icon.

The modified cells are shown on a yellow background. This color can be customized in drafting options.

Rotate: Allows to rotate (rotation of 90°) the selected cell content.

Divide Cells: Allows you to dive the selected cell into several cells by adding columns.

Insert Setting: Allows you to add the text setting to the cell.
