One way to do it:
Format the cells in a column as a date.
In the first cell of the column (say cell A1) enter the starting date in your list (say 02/04/2025).
Then in the next cell in the column (A2) enter =A1+7.
Then copy the contents of A2 (=A1+7) into the next 50 cells in the column.
Each date should increase by 7 days.Paul

There are two reasons why I stopped using CCleaner long ago.
First, right after Piriform acquired CCleaner, when you ran CCleaner it automatically (without user notification or confirmation) installed Avast browser, which Piriform also owned, and made it your default browser. It doesn’t do that any more, but I decided to be wary of products from a company that would do that.
Second, there is little evidence of benefits from registry cleaning, one of CCleaner’s main functions. CCleaner’s website says registry cleaning will “make your PC more stable”. An Internet search for “registry cleaner” will find many stories with just the opposite outcome (instability).
AskWoody Manager Susan Bradley says (September 1, 2024, Post #2700757): “I cannot guarantee a functional system after a registry cleaner.”
Microsoft does not recommend registry cleaning: “Some products such as registry cleaning utilities suggest that the registry needs regular maintenance or cleaning. However, serious issues can occur when you modify the registry incorrectly using these types of utilities. These issues might require users to reinstall the operating system due to instability. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved without a reinstallation of the Operating System as the extent of the changes made by registry cleaning utilities varies from application to application.” https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-support-policy-for-the-use-of-registry-cleaning-utilities-0485f4df-9520-3691-2461-7b0fd54e8b3a
I’m not commenting on CCleaner’s other functions. Just saying be cautious with registry cleaning.

Brian Livingston wrote about this in a comprehensive post titled “Microsoft Defender Could Be Your Free Antivirus Fix” in the Ask Woody Plus Newsletter of 10/21/2024. He cited several independent studies in which Defender performed as well as paid software, particularly if you’re a web surfer who doesn’t visit risky sites (eg porn or bootleg software).

Plus Newsletters are available to Ask Woody paid members using a “name your price model”. For me, membership is a bargain with returns well beyond the investment.

The discussion linked below says you cannot adjust the font size of Outlook’s folder pane directly in Outlook. You have to either change it in Settings > Display > Scale and Layout, or change the Font size in Ease of Access Settings > Display settings. Both of those changes will affect all applications, not just Outlook.

Small addition to the above: FastStone will do batch conversions of HEIC to JPG. Also batch resize if you want.

I use Google Messages on both my Android phone (like yours, a Samsung Galaxy) and my desktop computer. My Google Account knows my phone number and therefore my carrier.
To Block and Report Spam:
On the phone, when a chat (group of one or more messages with a single phone number) is open, touching the three vertical dots in the top right corner brings up a menu. One choice is Block & Report Spam”. Click that and you’ve done what you want.
On my desktop computer, in Google Messages in the left column is a list of your chats. Highlight a chat you want to block and report as spam and click the three vertical dots. On the resulting menu is a choice Block and Report Spam. Click that and you’ve done what you want.
If You Later Want to Unblock a Number:
On the phone, the main messages screen shows a list of your chats. At the top right is a link to my Google Account. (The link is usually the first letter of your surname in a colored circle.) Click on that and one menu choice is Spam and Blocked. Click that and you can unblock a previously blocked number.
On the desktop, at the top of the left column, next to the heading Messages, are three vertical dots. One of the menu items is Spam and Blocked. That will bring up a list of your blocked numbers, with an option to unblock.
Forwarding:
Google Messages does provide the option to report spam by forwarding the message to 7726 (SPAM). I’ve never done it that way because clicking on “Block and Report Spam” in a menu seems easier. But to try it, in the desktop version of Google Messages I just clicked “Start chat”, entered 7726 as the number, and a new chat was created. I can now forward a message to 7726. I also started a chat with 7726 on my Android phone by clicking on the speech bubble icon (new chat) and then entered 7726 as the number. A new chat with 7726 was created. I can then forward a message to that chat.
You didn’t say which messaging app you are using on your Galaxy A03s phone. My comments above are based on Google Messages.
