GENERAL COMPUTER TERMINOLOGY
Computer Technology – Standard 0205
The terminology on this page is intended to be a guide for what teachers should cover when
teaching objectives found in Standard 2 for Computer Technology. This is not intended to be an all-
inclusive list of computer terms that could be taught. This is a minimum list of terms that should be
covered – teachers may cover more and add to this material if time permits. Also, as technology
changes, teachers should update the material they teach to their students. For example: different types
of computers may change depending on new technology. Teachers should introduce students to the
most used types of computers when they teach students this information.

Virus Prevention – attachments, firewall, spyware, antivirus software
WORD PROCESSING, SPREADSHEETS, AND
ELECTRONIC PRESENTATIONS
The information included in this document is intended to be a guide of what should be taught to
students when teaching Standards 3, 4, and 8. This list includes minimum objectives. Teachers may
cover more material depending on individual situations (concurrent enrollment, previous knowledge of
students, etc.) and as time permits.
Microsoft Office Basics
Students should know and identify parts of the screen. Because schools are using different operating
systems and different versions of software, specific terminology is not listed here, however, teachers
should identify important terminology. Some examples are listed here: Taskbar, Toolbar, Menu,
Ribbon (if using Microsoft 2007), Quick Access Toolbar, Status Bar, Scroll Bars, etc.
Application vocabulary/features that are generally used in different types of

application software:
Note: Some of these features may be used in all programs. For example, students will probably print
in all types of software used. Other features may be used in just one or two of the applications. Clipart
and Text Boxes may be used in word processing and electronic presentations but not spreadsheets.
Teachers may introduce one of these features in one type of software and then the feature does not
have to be “taught” again, but it can be used in all applications.
Vocabulary/Features
 Save and Open Files
 Printing
 Default Settings
 Selecting
 Cut/Copy/Paste – Clipboard
 Margins
 Font – change font and appearance of text (including bold, italics, and underline)
 Spelling and Grammar Check
 Alignment – Horizontal and Vertical
 Page Orientation – Portrait and Landscape
 Graphics and Objects – Clipart, Text Boxes, WordArt, Borders, Charts, etc.
Word Processing (Standard 3)
In addition to the vocabulary and features listed on the previous page, this is a list of things that should
be taught in word processing. Review objectives listed for Standard 3.
Vocabulary/Features
 Word Wrap
 Bullets and automatic numbering
 Line Spacing
 Indents
 Ruler Bar
 Tabs (left, center, right, decimal, leaders)
 Footnotes/Endnotes
 Thesaurus
Document Formatting
Document formatting may vary in different textbooks. Because of this, a specific set of rules for
formatting these types of documents is not included here. Teachers should use the resources they have
to teach specific formatting for business documents.
 Memo
 Business Letters (on letterhead) – block and modified block styles*
 Personal Business Letter (not on letterhead)*
 Report with bibliography/references
*The main difference between a business letter and personal business letter is whether or not the letter
is typed on official letterhead. If a business letter is printed on letterhead, the first part of the letter
should be the current date. If a person is sending a personal business letter and it is not printed on
letterhead the return address (street address, city, state, and zip code) should be included on the two
lines above the date. Business and personal business letters can be block or modified block style.
Example of date for a business letter printed on letterhead:
August 28, 2008
Example of return address and date for a personal business letter not printed on letterhead:
1210 East River Breeze Drive

Orem, UT 84097
August 28, 2008

Completed SPREADSHEET QUESTIONS handout
Spreadsheet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A spreadsheet is a computer application that simulates a paper worksheet. It displays multiple cells
that together make up a grid consisting of rows and columns, each cell containing either alphanumeric
text or numeric values. A spreadsheet cell may alternatively contain a formula that defines how the
contents of that cell is to be calculated from the contents of any other cell (or combination of cells)
each time any cell is updated. Spreasheets are frequently used for financial information because of
their ability to re-calculate the entire sheet automatically after change to a single cell is made.
Visicalc is usually considered the first electronic spreadsheet (although this has been challenged), and
it helped turn the Apple II computer into a success and greatly assisted in their widespread application.
Lotus 1-2-3 was the leading spreadsheet of DOS era. Excel is now generally considered to have the
largest market share.
Concepts
Cells
A “cell” can be thought of as a box for holding a datum. A single cell is usually referenced by its
column and row (A2 would represent the cell below containing the value 10). Its physical size can
usually be tailored for its content by dragging its height or width at box intersections (or for entire
columns or rows by dragging the column or rows headers).
My Spreadsheet
A B C D
01 value1 value2 added multiplied
02 10 20 30 200
An array of cells is called a “sheet” or “worksheet”. It is analogous to an array of variables in a

conventional computer program (although certain unchanging values, once entered, could be
considered, by the same analogy, constants). In most implementations, many worksheets may be
located within a single spreadsheet. A worksheet is simply a subset of the spreadsheet divided for the
sake of clarity. Functionally, the spreadsheet operates as a whole and all cells operate as global
variables within the spreadsheet (‘read’ access only except its own containing cell).
A cell may contain a value or a formula, or it may simply be left empty. By convention, formulas
usually begin with = sign.
Values
A value can be entered from the computer keyboard by directly typing into the cell itself.
Alternatively, a value can be based on a formula (see below), which might perform a calculation,
display the current date or time, or retrieve external data such as a stock quote or a database value.
The Spreadsheet Value Rule Computer scientist Alan Kay used the term value rule to summarize a
spreadsheet’s operation: a cell’s value relies solely on the formula the user has typed into the cell. (13)
The formula may rely on the value of other cells, but those cells are likewise restricted to user-entered
data or formulas. There are no ‘side effects’ to calculating a formula: the only output is to display the
calculated result inside its occupying cell. There is no natural mechanism for permanently modifying
the contents of a cell unless the user manually modifies the cell’s contents. In the context of
programming languages, this yields a limited form of first-order functional programming. (14)
Automatic recalculation
A standard of spreadsheets since the mid 80s(citation needed), this optional feature eliminates the need to
manually request the spreadsheet program to recalculate values (nowadays typically the default option
unless specifically ‘switched off’ for large spreadsheets, usually to improve performance). Some
earlier spreadsheets required a manual request to recalculate, since recalculation of large or complex
spreadsheets often reduced data entry speed. Many modern spreadsheets still retain this option.
Real time update
This feature refers to updating a cell’s contents periodically when its value is derived from an external
source – such as a cell in another “remote” spreadsheet. For shared, web-based spreadsheets, it applies
to “immediately” updating cells that have been altered by another user. All dependent cells have to be
updated also.

Animation of a simple spreadsheet that multiplies values in the left column by 2, then sums the
calculated values from the right column to the bottom-most cell. In this example, only the values in
the A column are entered (10, 20, 30), and the remainder of cells are formulas. Formulas in the B
column multiply values from the A column using relative references, and the formula in B4 uses the
SUM ( ) function to find the sum of values in the B1:B3 range.
A formula identifies the calculation needed to place the result in the cell it is contained within. A cell
containing a formula therefore has two display components; the formula itself and the resulting value.
The formula is normally only shown when the cell is selected by “clicking” the mouse over a particular
cell; otherwise it contains the result of the calculation.
A formula assigns values to a cell or range of cells, and typically has the format:
=expression
where the expression consists of:
 values, such as 2, 9, 14 or 6 . 67E-11;

 references to other cells, such as, e.g., A1 for a single cell or B1:B3 for a range;
 arithmetic operators, such as +, -, *, /, and others;
 relational operators, such as >, =, <, and others; and,
 functions, such as SUM ( ), TAN ( ), and many others.
When a cell contains a formula, it often contains references to other cells. Such a cell reference is a
type of variable. Its value is the value of the referenced cell or some derivation of it. If that cell in turn
references other cells, the value depends on the values of those. References can be relative (e.g., A1 or
B1:B3), absolute (e.g., $A$1, or $B$1:$B$3) or mixed row-wise or column-wise absolute/relative (e.g., $A1 is
column-wise absolute and A$1 is row-wise absolute).
The available options for valid formulas depends on the particular spreadsheet implementation but, in
general, most arithmetic operations and quite complex nested conditional operations can be performed
by most of today’s commercial spreadsheets. Modern implementations also offer functions to access
custom-build functions, remote data, and applications.
A formula may contain a condition (or nested conditions) – with or without an actual calculation – and
is sometimes used purely to identify and highlight errors. In the example below, it is assumed the sum
of a column of percentages (A1 through A6) is tested for validity and an explicit message put into the
adjacent right-hand cell.
=IF (SUM (A1 : A6) > 100, “More than 100%”, SUM (A1 : A6))
A spreadsheet does not, in fact, have to contain any formulas at all, in which case it could be
considered merely a collection of data arranged in rows and columns (a database) like a calendar,
timetable or simple list. Because of its ease of use, formatting and hyperlinking capabilities, many
spreadsheets are used solely for this purpose.
Locked cell
Once entered, selected cells (or the entire spreadsheet) can optionally be “locked” to prevent accidental
overwriting. Typically this would apply to cells containing formulas but might be applicable to cells
containing “constants” such as a kilogram/pounds conversion factor (2.20462262 to eight decimal
places).
[Data format
A cell or range can optionally be defined to specify how the value is displayed. The default display
format is usually set by its initial content if not specifically previously set, so that for example
“1/12/2007” or “31 Jan 2007” would default to the cell format of “date”. Similarly adding a % sign
after a numeric value would tag the cell as a percentage cell format. The cell contents are not changed
by this format, only the displayed value.
Some cell formats such as “numeric” or “currency” can also specify the number of decimal places.
This can allow invalid operations (such as doing multiplication on a cell containing a date), resulting in
illogical results without an appropriate warning.
Text format
Each cell (like its counterpart the “word” in a word processor) can be separately defined in terms of its
displayed format. Any cell or range of cells can be highlighted in several different ways such as use of
bold text, color, font, text size and so on.
These attributes typically do not alter the data content in any way and some formatting may be lost or
altered when copying spreadsheet data between different implementations or software versions. In
some implementations, the format may be conditional upon the data within the cell – for example, a
value may be displayed red if it is negative.
Named cells
In most implementations, a cell can be “named” so that even if the cell is “cut and pasted” to a new
location within the spreadsheet, its reference always remains intact. Names must be unique within the
spreadsheet and, once defined, can then be used instead of a “normal” cell reference.
Cell reference
A cell reference is the name of some cell in some spreadsheet. Most cell references indicate another
cell in the same spreadsheet, but a cell reference can also refer to a cell in a different sheet within the
same spreadsheet, or (depending on the implementation) to a cell in another spreadsheet entirely, or to
a value from a remote application.
A typical cell reference in “A1” style consists of one or two case-insensitive letters to identify the
column (if there are up to 256 columns: A-Z and AA-IV) followed by a row number (e.g. in the range
I-65536). Either part can be relative (it changes when the formula it is in is moved or copied), or
absolute (indicated with $ in front of the part concerned of the cell reference). The older “R1C1”
reference style consists of the letter R, the row number, the letter C, and the column number; relative
row or column numbers are indicated by enclosing the number in square brackets. Most current
spreadsheets use the A1 style, some providing the R1C1 style as a compatibility option.
When the computer calculates a formula in one cell too update the displayed value of that cell, cell
reference(s) in that cell, naming some other cell(s), cause the computer to fetch the value of the named
cell(s).
Cell Ranges
A reference to a range of cells is typically of the form (A1:A6) which specifies all the cells in the range
A1 through to A6. A formula such as “=SUM(A1:A6)” would add all the cells specified and put the
result in the cell containing the formula itself.
Sheets
In the earliest spreadsheets, cells were a simple two-dimensional grid. Over time, the model has been
expanded to include a third dimension, and in some cases a series of named grids, called sheets. The
most advanced examples allow inversion and rotation operations which can slice and project the data
set in various ways.
Charts
Many spreadsheet applications permit charts, graphs or histograms to be generated from specified
groups of cells which are dynamically re-built as cell contents change. The generated graphic
component can either be embedded within the current sheet or added as a separate object.

Assignment 10
Using a Spreadsheet as a Simple Database
Spreadsheets can be used to do some database functions such as sorting or filtering data. In this
assignment you will be creating a spreadsheet/database and then sorting that data. Before you begin,
you should check the help menu or an online or text resource to research how the sorting function
works in your spreadsheet program. Below are some general hints about sorting that apply to the
major spreadsheet programs:
SORTING HINTS:
 When typing in the data be sure to make the header row (in this problem that would be
row 4) different somehow such as bold and centered. Do NOT leave a blank row after
the header row.
 It is a good idea to save the unsorted version before sorting just in case you make an
error sorting the data and it becomes mixed up.
 Before sorting a spreadsheet/database, be sure to select or highlight the entire body of
the data including the header row. (In this problem, you would select A4:D20). Do not
include the major headings (in this problem that would be rows 1-3) in the sort.
 The sort button is generally found under the data menu or tab.
Instructions:
1. Recreate the spreadsheet ADVANTAGE ADVERTISING COMPANY.
b. Type in words (labels) and numbers (values).
c. Be sure to bold, under.line, and center the header row – row 4.
d. Format the numbers for currency with 0 decimal places.
e. There are no formulas in this spreadsheet/database.
f. Add the header as shown typing in your own name.
g. Save the spreadsheet as ADVANTAGE ADVERTISING COMPANY.
h. Print ADVANTAGE ADVERTISING COMPANY.
2. Sort the spreadsheet/database ADVANTAGE ADVERTISING COMPANY so that is it

is alphabetical by employee name. Be sure that the data has not changed – for example
Jeff Frye still works in Houston in the Art Department – but it is in order by name.
Save the sorted version as EMPLOYEE SORT. Print EMPLOYEE SORT.
3. Sort the spreadsheet/database ADVANTAGE ADVERTISING COMPANY so that it is
now arranged by department – all administration together, all art together, etc. Be sure
that the data has not changed – for example, Ken Wilson is still in Production. Save
this version as DEPARTMENT SORT. Print DEPARTMENT SORT.
4. Sort the spreadsheet/database ADVANTAGE ADVERTISING COMPANY so that it is

sorted by salary. Be sure that the data does not change – for example Teresa Cole still
makes $52.500. Save the sorted version as SALARY SORT. Print SALARY SORT.

the header row.
 It is a good idea to save the unsorted version before sorting just in case you make an
error sorting the data and it becomes mixed up.
 Before sorting a spreadsheet/database, be sure to select or highlight the entire body of
the data including the header row. (In this problem, you would select A4:E20). Do not
include the major headings (in this problem that would be rows 1-3) in the sort.
 The sort button is generally found under the data menu or tab.
 A descending sort puts the highest number at the top of the column.

Ten-Key Practice
Spreadsheet users should develop a ten-key skill. The ten-key is the number pad at the right of most
keyboards on a desktop computer. Before you start 10-key on the number pad:
 Be sure the number lock in ON.

 The home row is 4, 5, 6. Put you index finger of you right hand on the 4, the middle
finger on the five, and your ring finger on the 6.
 The 0 is pressed with the thumb.
 The pinky presses enter.
 Note that there is a +, /, *, and – for calculations on the ten key number pad.
Instructions:
1. Go to the website www.typeonline.co/uk. From the choices at the left, click Number
pad lessons. There are 8 short lessons. For each lesson, there are instructions that you
should read first. After reading the information on that webpage, start the lesson. Do
this for each lesson IN ORDER 1-8. You may want to try each lesson a few times until
you are comfortable with the 10-key. After completing each lesson, print the results

expense summary with graphs showing our major expense categories and the amount spent in each
one. The second is a spreadsheet showing the possible budget cuts by percentage.
