For style reasons. You might want the text in the corner cell of a table to be at an angle for example. You might want titles for columns to vertically. It could be done to enable you to narrow the width of a cell. Often it is purely for effect, maybe to enhance a set of data and distinguish the titles a bit more.

How to open Excel file in dos editor?

A DOS editor is not capable of reading a standard Excel file. An Excel file must be opened with Excel or some application that can read Excel files. Text editors are not capable of doing that. They are designed for working on things like text files.If you have a standard Excel file and save it as a text file, then text editors can open them. All that will be in that is pure text, and not things like formulas and calculations and formatting etc. When you are saving as a text file, save it with a txt extension and most text editors will be able to open it. How you specifically do it will depend on the particular text editor you are using.
