1. MAIL MERGE
A tool allowing a user to form letters and mailing
labels by linking main documents to a certain set of
data or data source.
2. CUSTOM ANIMATIONS AND TIMING
3. HYPERLINKING IN PRESENTATIONS
This action setting can be programmed in
an object that executes when clicked
- can play a sound or video
- link the viewers to an other power point
slide or web page
4.integrating images and external material in
word processor
5. EMBEDDED FILES AND DATA
In Web page design, a multimedia file can
be inserted or embedded into the web page
- embedded file can be anything, from
videos, music, to tables and data
6. ADVANCED AND COMPLEX FORMULAS
Excel – is an application for spreadsheets,
it helps monitor and maintain data.
To use computations in such one must use these
computer characters to do a computation:
a. + = Addition
b. - = Subtraction
c. * = Multiplication
d. / = Division
 Quotations are commonly printed as a
means of inspiration and to invoke
philosophical thoughts from the reader.
This is a slide title
-Here you have a list of items
-And some text
-But remember not to overload your slides
with content
Your audience will listen to you or read the
content, but won’t do both.
BIG CONCEPT
-Bring the attention of your audience over a key
concept using icons or illustrations
You can also split your content
 White
-Is the color of milk and fresh snow, the color
produced by the combination of all the colors of the
visible spectrum.
 Black
-Is the color of coal, ebony, and of outer space. It
is the darkest color, the result of the absence of or
complete absorption of light.
In two or three columns
 Yellow
-Is the color of gold, butter and ripe lemons. In the
spectrum of visible light, yellow is found between
green and orange.
 Blue
-Is the colour of the clear sky and the deep sea. It
is located between violet and green on the optical
spectrum.
 Red
-Is the color of blood, and because of this it has
historically been associated with sacrifice, danger
and courage.
A picture is worth a thousand words
A complex idea can be conveyed with just a single
still image, namely making it possible to absorb
large amounts of data quickly.
Want big impact
 Use big image.
 Use charts to explain your ideas
 Or use diagrams to explain complex ideas
 And tables to compare data
 Maps
Advanced Spreadsheet Skills
Excel
 is a spreadsheet program that allows you
to store, organize, and analyze information. 
Creating simple formulas
 plus sign for addition (+)
 minus sign for subtraction (-)
 asterisk for multiplication (*)
 forward slash for division (/)
 caret (^) for exponents.
Creating complex formulas
 Excel - is a spreadsheet application that
can help you calculate and analyze
numerical information for household
budgets, company finances, inventory, and
more.
The order of operations
Excel calculates formulas based on the
following order of operations:
1. Operations enclosed in parentheses
2. Exponential calculations (to the power of)
3. Multiplication and division, whichever
comes first
4. Addition and subtraction, whichever
comes first
Demonstrates how to use the order of operations
to calculate a formula:
Working with basic functions
 A function is a predefined formula that
performs calculations using specific values
in a particular order.
The parts of a function
 Each function has a specific order—
called syntax
 The basic syntax to create a formula with a
function is to insert an equals sign
(=), function name 
  (SUM, for example, is the function name for
addition), and argument. Arguments
contain the information you want the
formula to calculate, such as a range of cell
references.

Excel Functions
 COUNT – used to count the cells with
content in a range
 SUM – used to compute for the summation
of the number of a range
 AVERAGE – used to compute for the
average of a range
 COUNTIF – used to count the cells with a
specified content within a range
 SUMIF – used to compute for the
summation of a range if a certain condition
is met
 AVERAGEIF – used to compute for the
average of a range if a certain condition is
met
 = AVERAGEIF(range, criteria,
average range)
 Range – the range of cells where
you want to look for the criteria
 Criteria – a value or label that
determines if a cell is part of a
range to be averaged
 Average Range – the actual range
of cells that will be averaged, if
omitted, the range will be used
instead.
SYNTAX
 SUM(cells involved)
 AVERAGE(cells involved)
 COUNT (cells involved)
 COUNTIF(range, criteria)
 AVERAGEIF(range, criteria, average range)
Working with arguments
 Colons create a reference to a range of
cells. 
 Commas separate individual values, cell
references, and cell ranges in parentheses.
If there is more than one argument, you
must separate each argument by a comma.
