Microsoft Excel
Beginning - 2003, 2007

If you have a project you dread doing, Microsoft Excel can probably make it easier. Whether you use its native capabilities in a beginning class or create powerful formulas and macros with advanced training, it can get the job done before you can blink!

What Will You Do During This Training?
Excel is one of the most powerful and frequently used tools in an office environment. You'll participate in exercises that are common to a typical environment and learn how to prepare a spreadsheet from scratch, manage large Excel documents, and use formatting techniques that will make your work more readable.

Prerequisite: Some experience with Windows.

Class Outline

Use features of the new interface, like the Office Button, Ribbon, and Quick Access Toolbar.
Create a basic worksheet and modify it by moving data, editing cells, and inserting or deleting rows and columns.
Create formulas and functions to perform basic calculations which can be copied to other cells to save time.
Create beautiful and effective graphs and charts.
Format a worksheet by specifying font settings, adding borders and color, merging cells, applying number formats, and applying styles.
Print the contents of a workbook after specifying title, header, footer, and margins.
Customize the Excel window to view multiple workbooks simultaneously, freeze and unfreeze rows and columns, and hide and unhide worksheets, rows, and columns.

Who Is This Training For?
Learning Excel will benefit people in the administrative and sales fields and beyond.

What You Will Need

· A laptop - ours or yours. Most students prefer to work on their own laptop and that's great. You should also bring an external mouse and mouse pad. Excel 2003 or 2007 must be loaded on laptop.

If you don't have a laptop or access to one, you must let us know in advance so one of ours can be assigned to you.

· The ability to be away from your cell phone during class. You can only turn on cell phones during breaks and lunch. This allows you to respect your trainer, and stay focused during the training session.
