What We Did Last Week

PowerPoint Project 2 introduced you to the Outline tab, clip art, and animation effects.  You created a slide presentation on the Outline tab where you entered all the text in the form of an outline.  You arranged the text using the Promote and Demote buttons. Once the outline was complete, you changed slide layouts and added clip art.

After adding clip art to slides without using a content placeholder, you moved and sized the clips.  You added preset animation effects and applied animation effects to a clip. You learned how to run an animated slide show demonstrating slide transition and animation effects.  Then, you printed the presentation outline and slides using the Print command on the File menu and e-mail the presentation.

Finally, you learned to save the presentation as a Web page using the Save As Web Page command.  Then you published your presentation, and PowerPoint started your default browser and opened your HTML file so you could view the presentation.  At the end, you edited the presentation, saved it again, and viewed it again in your default browser.

We are having our PowerPoint test this week and you are strongly encouraged to take the practice test if you have not done so. You can make an appointment with any one of the testing centers and take the test any day between Monday and Friday.

You should have submitted all your assignments up to assignment 5. Please contact me if you don't see your grade posted a week after you submitted your assignment.

What You Will Learn This Week

In creating the Dynamite Music Fourth Quarter Sales worksheet and chart in Project 1 of your Excel book, you will gain a broad knowledge of Excel.  First, you will be introduced to starting Excel. You will learn about the Excel window and how to enter text and numbers to create a worksheet.  You will learn how to select a range and how to use the AutoSum button to sum numbers in a column or row.  Using the fill handle, you will learn how to copy a cell to adjacent cells.

Once the worksheet is built, you will learn how to change the font size of the title, bold the title, and center the title across a range using buttons on the Formatting toolbar. Using the steps and techniques presented in the project, you will format the body of the worksheet using the AutoFormat command, and you will use the Chart wizard to add a 3-D Column chart.  After completing the worksheet, you will save the workbook on disk, print the worksheet and chart, and then quit Excel.  You will learn how to start Excel by opening an Excel document, use the AutoCalculate area, and edit data in cells.  Finally, you will learn how to use the Excel Help system to answer your questions.
