Final answer:
The statement is false; totaling columns is done using functions like SUM, not via the Format option which only changes data appearance.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'Automatically totaling every column can be done by using the Format option' is false. Totaling or summing up data in every column of a spreadsheet typically involves using functions or formulas, such as the SUM function. The Format option in spreadsheet software is used to change the appearance of your data, like font size, cell color, or number format, but it doesn't perform calculations.
For instance, in Microsoft Excel, one would use the SUM function by typing =SUM(A1:A10) in a cell below a column to sum the values from cell A1 to A10. This action would not be accomplished through formatting. Although some spreadsheet software may allow you to add a totals row via table formatting options, the action of totaling itself does not derive from formatting settings.
