Lesson 3

Entering Text

Once you start to open a new document in Word, you can immediately enter text. Just click the document window and type. A blank document starts out with a blinking insertion point that looks like a small vertical bar. An Insertion point appears as an I-beam when you point your mouse at the text. THE TEXT AREA 1. Observe the Insertion point

YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

7


The insertion point determines the area where the text or other items will be entered in the document. 2. Observe the End Mark If you are in Draft layout View, you will see the End mark. It is the horizontal line that tells the end of the document. You can cannot format, delete, an insert text beyond it. 3. Observe the mouse Pointer The mouse pointer is usually an I-beam when it is in the text area. When moved outside the text area, the mouse pointer usually becomes an arrow. USING THE ENTER KEY Enter In word processing, you do not have to press the Enter key to proceed to the next line. When you see that the text does not fit in a line, you will proceed to the beginning of the next line. This called Word Wrap. You use the ENTER key to:  End a short line;  End a paragraph; and  Create a blank line. Tab It is easier to align a text correctly by using Tabs. When you press the TAB key, the insertion point will move to the next tab stop. At the start, tab stops in Word are set at 0.5” increments.

Space Bar Insert a space between words. It is suggested that you utilize Tabs (or other formatting commands) to put distance between elements. Using the space bar to insert visual space works but would not be considered a best practice in page design. Double spaces between sentences are no longer required. This is a carryover from the days of fixed width fonts on a typewriter such as Courier, Orator, Prestige Elite, etc. Pressing the Space Bar while viewing a web page in Internet Explorer will scroll the page downwards. Shift + Space Bar will scroll the page upwards.

Lesson 25

Getting Started with Excel 2007

A spreadsheet is a grid that organizes data in column and rows. Spreadsheets make it easy for people to display information, and insert formulas to work with the data. People use spreadsheet programs to learn the different kinds of data, and to make decisions. To create a spreadsheet, you use Microsoft Excel program, Microsoft Excel is an electronic spreadsheet that can be used for storing, organizing, and manipulating data. When you look at the Excel screen, you see a rectangular table or grid of rows and column. The horizontal rows are identified by numbers (1, 2, 3...) and the vertical columns, by letters of the alphabet (A, B, C). For columns beyond 28, columns are identified by two or more letters such as AA, AB, AC. The intersection point between a column and a row is a small rectangular box known as a cell. A cell is the basic unit for storing data in the spreadsheet. Because Excel spreadsheets contain thousands of these cells, each is given a cell reference or address to identify it. Basic Parts of Microsoft Excel Screen The Microsoft Office Button The Office Button is located on the upper-left corner of Microsoft office Excel 2007. When you click the button, a menu appears. You can use the menu to create a new file, an existing file, save a file, and perform many other tasks. The Quick Access Toolbar Next to the Microsoft Office button is the Quick Access toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar is used to store shortcuts to frequently used features in Excel. By default, Save, Undo, and Redo appear or the Quick Access toolbar. You can use Save to save your file, Undo to roll back on action you have taken, and Redo to reapply an action you have rolled back. The Excel Title Bar The Title bar is at the top f the screen next to the Quick Access toolbar. On the Title bar, Microsoft Excel displays the name of the workbook you are currently using. At the top Excel window, you should see „Microsoft Excel- Book 1� or a similar name. When you fists open Excel, the filename will be Book 1. After you save your workbook, the title bar will update itself to reflect the change. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

You click buttons to activate commands or to access menus and dialog boxes. You may also find a Dialog Box launcher in the bottom-right corner of a group. When you click the dialog box launcher, a dialog box makes additional commands available. The Worksheets Microsoft Excel contains Worksheets. These are represented by Sheet 1, Sheet 2, and Sheet 3 on the sheet tab located in the lower part of your Excel Screen. You can add more worksheets if you want. Each worksheet displays columns and rows. The columns are lettered A to Z and continues with AA, AB, AC and so on: the rows are numbered 1 to 1, 048, 576. The intersection of column and now is called a Cell and it has n address. For example, the cell located on the upper-left corner of the worksheet is cell A1, meaning the cell is located in column A, row 1. You enter your data in the cells on the worksheet.

The Formula Bar The Formula Bar is the part of the Microsoft Excel window below the ribbon where you can enter or edit data in a worksheet cell. The address of the cell you are in displays the Name box which is located on the left side of the Formula bar. Cell entries are displayed on the right side of the Formula bar.

Lesson 27: Technical Drawing Flowchart A flowchart is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the nature and flow of the steps in a process. Another name for this tool is “flow diagram.” What are the elements of flowcharts? 1. Terminator- a terminator is represented by a small rectangle with curved corners. Terminal appears at the start and at the end of a flowchart. The end terminator appears only once on a single flowchart. 2. Process- a process is represented by a rectangle. It refers to an action in a business process. It must be described clearly and concisely. A process can be described using a single verb noun phrase. 3. Sub-process- a sub-process is represented by a rectangular with double lines on each side. 4. Decision- a decision is represented by a diamond. A process that can answer a decision “yes” or “no” requires a decision box. 5. Connector- a connector is represented by a small circle or connector box and is labeled using letters. A flowchart written on a single page is clearer than a flowchart on several pages. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

56


6. Arrow lines- arrow lines drawn in one direction, preferably from top to bottom, keep a flowchart clear. Avoid arrow lines that loop because this could indicate redundancy in the business process. Benefits of Using Flowcharts 1. Promote understanding of a process. People may have differing ideas about how a process works. A flowchart can help you gain agreement about the sequence of steps. Flowcharts promote understanding in a way that written procedures cannot do. One good flowchart can be replace pages of words. 2. Provide a tool for training employees. Because of the way they visually lay out the sequence of process steps, flowcharts can be very helpful in training employees to perform the process according to standardized procedures. 3. Identity problem areas and opportunities for process improvement. Once you break down the process steps and diagram them, problem areas become more visible. It is easy to spot opportunities for implying and refining your process by analyzing decision points, redundant steps and rework loops. Basic Flowchart Symbols 1. Oval Ovals indicate both the starting point and the ending point of the process steps. 2. Box A box represents an individual step or activity in the process. 3. Circle A circle indicates that a particular steps is connected to another page or part of the Flowchart. A letter placed in the circle clarifies the continuation. 4. Diamond A diamond shows a decision point, such as yes/no or go/no-go. Each path emerging from the diamond must be labeled with one of the possible answer. 5. Triangle A triangle shows where an in-process measurement occurs. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

How do you interpret flowcharts? Flowcharts will help you understand your process and uncover ways to improve it only if you use it to analyze what is happening. Interpret your Flowcharts will help you to. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Determine who is involved in the process. Form theories about root causes. Identify ways to streamline the process. Determine how to implement changes to the process. Locate cost-added-only steps. Provide training on how the process works or should work.

Types of flowchart 1. Linear Flowchart- a linear flowchart is a diagram that displays the sequence of work steps that make up a process. This tool can help identify rework and redundant unnecessary steps within process. 2. Assemble the right people to develop the flowchart- those operators, technicians, or office workers who are actually involved in the process. 3. Establish process boundaries-the starting and ending points. Identify the major activities or sub processes that are included in the process. Determine what is not included in the scope of the process to remove any doubt or confusion about the boundaries. This may also help establish the scope of related process. 4. List the steps, activities, and decisions to be charted. If your teams are not sure about a step, mark it to be investigated later. 5. Put the step in chronological sequence. Sometimes itâ€&#x;s easier to start with the as step and work back to the first step. 6. Assign flowchart symbols such as boxes, diamonds, and triangles. 7. Review and title the Flowchart.

 

Hold your left mouse button down and drag to cell A4 when your pointer changes to the white cross. Let go of the left mouse button when cells A1,A2, A3, and A4 are highlighted.

The cells highlighted in the image above have a color different from the normal white color of a cell. When you highlight cells, you can do things to all the cell a group. To center the text and umbers in your highlighted cells, try this: From the Excel Ribbon at the top of the screen, look for the Alignment command group: You can see the different alignment options. Hold your mouse over each alignment icon and you will see an explanation of what they do. Click each icon and see what they do to your highlighted cells. Align Cell Contents To align cell contents, click the cell or cells you want to align and click the options within the Alignment group on the Home tab. There are several options of alignment of cell contents: Align Buttons Top Align: Middle Align: Bottom Align: Align Text Left: Center: Align Text Right: Decrease Indent: Increase Indent: Orientation:

Actions Aligns text on the top of the cell Aligns text between the top and bottom of the cell Aligns text at the bottom of the cell Aligns text on the left of the cell Centers the text from left to right in the cell Aligns text on the right of the cell Decreases the indent between the left border and the text Increase the indent between the left border and the text Rotates the text diagonally or vertically

You can also click the arrow at the bottom right of the Alignment panel to bring up the Format Cells box. As you can see, in Excel you have plenty of options to choose from. But click center. Do the same for the vertical drop down menu. Then click Ok at the bottom of the Format cells dialogue box. Before moving on to other types of formatting you can do in Excel, have a try of this: 
