MICROSOFT EXCEL
Electronic spreadsheet programs were originally based on paper spreadsheets used for
accounting. As such, the basic layout of computerized spreadsheets is the same as the paper
ones. Related data is stored in tables — which are a collection of small rectangular boxes or
cells organized into rows and columns.

When you look at the Excel screen — or

any other spreadsheet screen — you see a
rectangular table or grid of rows and
columns.
In newer versions of Excel, each
worksheet contains roughly a million rows
and more than 16,000 columns, which
necessitates an addressing scheme in order
to keep track of where data is located.

Features:

• Slicers: Slicers are introduced in Excel 2010, this will help us to connect the multiple
pivot tables and filter the data with buttons.

Creating a Presentation
 Senior High School Department

• 24 is the default font size

• Dark background = Light text
• Light background = dark text
• Color scheme

Creating an Effective Presentation

• Minimize - keep slides to a minimum to maintain a clear message and to keep the
audience attentive.
• Clarity - avoid being fancy by using a font style that is easy to read. Make sure that it is
also easy to read.
• Simplicity - summarize the information on the screen. Limit that content to six lines
and seven words per line also known as 6X7 rule.
• Visuals - use graphics to help you in the presentation but not too many to distract the
audience.
• Consistency - make your design uniform. Avoid having different font styles and
backgrounds.
• Contrast - use light font on dark background or vice versa. In most instances, it is
easier to read on the screen if the background is dark.

Custom Animation

Animation is a simulation of movement created by displaying a series of pictures, or frames.

Animation on computers is one of the chief ingredients of multimedia presentations. There are
many software applications that enable you to create animations that you can display on a
computer monitor. MS PowerPoint is an example of a presentation software that you can use
