In the top rows of Figure 9.12, the icon set has been applied to a rectangular range of data.
The icons are always left-justified. There is no way to center them, and there is no way to
have an icon appear to the right of the value. This can be problematic; in Figure 9.11, for
example, the icons for column F appear to apply to the numbers in column E.
One way to mitigate this problem is to center all the numbers in the range. This at least puts
the value and the icon closer together. Rows 11 through 19 of Figure 9.12 show this solution.
