AN INTRODUCTION TO MICROSOFT EXCEL
By Craig Olson
Introduction
In Excel you create worksheets, sometimes called spreadsheets. These are matrices of data. Excel is part of Microsoft Office. In each matrix are cells. The size of the cell can be manipulated by dragging with the mouse. Dragging the right edge of column D to the right will widen the entire column D.
Labels
A label is text data inside a cell. Place your cursor in the cell you want and type the text. When you press enter, the cell pointer moves down one row. Press Tab to move the cell pointer to the right. The arrow keys can also be used to move the cell pointer in any direction.
Cells
The active cell is the current highlighted cell that accepts data you type into it. One can delete cells, and also entire rows and columns.
Graphs can be created with this program.
Conclusions
This is an outstanding program. It is necessary to memorize a certain amount of information to use it, however. This is also true of Microsoft Word, which is my favorite program.
There have been attempts to treat the human brain as a computer. However, it isn't a computer. It is more complicated than the entire internet.
