Exercise-23: Exercise 2.
8) Type all of the text on the following page exactly as it appears including errors and note
the corrections that are made as you type.
9) You can change the AutoCorrect options to modify how it works or even add new words to
the list that can be automatically corrected. To view these options, go to the Tools menu
and select AutoCorrect Options.
10) When you have viewed the options, click Cancel or press the [Esc] key.
11) Save the current document with the file name Text Tools.
Character formatting
Many character formatting options that arent available on the toolbar are available in the
Font Formatting dialog box. When you have selected text, you can open the Font Dialog box
from the Format menu or from the right-mouse menu.
1) The paragraph under the first heading begins with the text Microsoft Word. Select Word as
we will format the name of the program.
2) With the text selected, go to the Format menu and select Font.
There are three tabs at the top of the dialog box. The options on the first tab include all of the
standard character formatting options. The options on the second tab allow you to adjust the
width and spacing of characters. The options on the last tab allow you to add animation such
as blinking and flashing effects to text, which are possibly the most useless feature of Word!
3) Make sure the Font tab is selected and choose the options shown above. I.e.
Select Arial from the Font list
Select Bold from the Font Style list
Select Green for the Font color
Tick the SShhaaddooww box under Effects.
Notice that a preview at the bottom of the dialog box will show how the selected text will
look with the formatting changes. Steve ONeil 2005 Page 5 of 10
http://www.oneil.com.au/pc/ Using Microsoft Word Character Formatting
4) Click on the Character Spacing tab at the top of the dialog box.
5) Change the Scale (width of the characters) to 150%.
6) Change the Spacing to Expanded by 1pt as shown above.
7) Click OK to confirm the font changes.
8) In the paragraph under the second heading locate the text, Word (when Windows and
Word).
9) Press [F4]. This is a quick way of repeating the last action. In this case it repeats all of the
formatting options you selected from the Font Formatting dialog box. This handy
shortcut can be very useful to remember.
10) Use the [F4] Repeat shortcut to repeat the formatting on every other instance of the text,
Word.
11) Save the changes to the document.
The Underline Styles list gives you a lot more options that the Underline icon. It allows you
to select from styles such as double, dotted and wavy underlines. You can even change the
colour of underlines.
Some of the additional text Effects include Strikethrough, Double strikethrough, Superscript,
Subscript, SShhaaddooww, , EEEmmmbbbooossssss, EEEnnngggrrraaavvveee, S MALL CAPS and
ALL CAPS.
The Position options under the Character Spacing tab are for raising and lowering the text.
The Kerning options are for adjusting the spacing between unevenly shaped letters in large
font sizes. The following examples show the same letters with kerning and without kerning.
In the first example, although the letters are evenly spaced, the shape of letters like A and V
makes it appear as though there is a large gap between them. Kerning reduces spacing
between letters such as these.

Exercise 7.
Adding Headers & Footers
1) Make sure the Word 2003 document is still open.
2) From the View menu select Header and Footer. A blank header and footer will be added
to the page and the Header and Footer toolbar will appear.
3) Make sure your insertion point is at the left of the page header.
4) Type Microsoft Word 2003.
5) Click the Switch Between Header and Footer icon on the toolbar. You will be taken to
the footer at the bottom of the page.
6) Click the Insert AutoText button on the toolbar and then click the Filename option from
the list.
7) The filename will be inserted in the left part of the footer. If you rename the file, the
filename will update in the footer the next time you open the document.
8) Press [Tab] to move to the middle section of the document.
9) Press [Tab] a second time to move to the right section of the footer.
10) Type Page followed by a space.
11) Click the Insert Page Number icon on the toolbar and then add another space.
12) Type of followed by a space.
13) Click on the Insert Number of Pages icon on the toolbar.
14) Click Close on the toolbar to finish editing the header and footer.
Exercise 4.
Changing Paragraph Alignment
1) Click in the first paragraph on the page under the main heading.
2) Display the Paragraph formatting dialog.
3) You will see a drop-down list next the Alignment. Select Centered from the list.
4) Click OK to make the change. The text in that paragraph will be lined up horizontally with
the centre of the page.
You can also change the alignment options using shortcuts.
5) Change the paragraph to Right alignment by clicking the icon or by pressing [Ctrl] [R].
The text in the paragraph will be arranged to the right of the page so that it lines up with
the right page margin.
6) Change the paragraph to Centered alignment by clicking the icon or by pressing [Ctrl] [E]
(The [Ctrl] [C] shortcut is already allocated to copying).
7) Change the paragraph to Justified by clicking the icon or by pressing [Ctrl] [J]. The text in
the paragraph will be evenly spaced so that both sides of the paragraph will line up with
the left and right page margins.
8) Change the paragraph back to Left alignment by clicking the icon or by pressing [Ctrl] [L].
The text in the paragraph will be arranged to the left of the page so that it lines up with
the left page margin.
4) Display the Paragraph formatting options. Note the Indentation options in the middle
section.
The Left and Right options allow you to change how much the paragraph is indented from
the left page margin and right page margin. The remaining options affect only the first line of
the paragraph. The Special option allows you to choose a First Line indent (so the first line is
indented more than the rest of the paragraph) or a Hanging indent (so the first line is indented
less than the rest of the paragraph). The By option specifies how far the first line will be
indented by.
5) Change the Indentation options so that they appear the same as the example below.
The left and right sides of the paragraph will be indented 1cm from the page margins. The
first line of the paragraph will be intended by a further 1cm.
6) Click the Undo icon or press [Ctrl] [Z] to return the margins to their previous state.
7) Make sure the first paragraph is still selected.
8) Move your mouse over the Right Indent marker on the ruler and drag it about 1cm to the
left.
9) Move your mouse over the Left Indent marker on the ruler and drag it to the right
approximately a cm. The first line and hanging indent markers will also move. Notice
that when you drag the marker, it moves in small steps, which can make it hard to get it to
exactly the position you want.
10) Hold down the [Alt] key and drag the Left Indent marker so that it is exactly on the cm
mark. Holding down [Alt] while dragging allows you to be more precise with
measurements.
11) Drag the First Line Indent marker so that it is on the 1cm mark. You can do it with or
without the [Alt] key.
12) Drag the Hanging Indent marker so that it is on the 2cm mark. A Hanging Indent is
created when the first line is indented less than the rest of the paragraph.
Exercise 6.
Page Breaks and Other Breaks
Page breaks allow you to specify where a new page will begin in a document. You can create
page breaks by manually inserting a break where you need one. You can also specify breaks
in your paragraph formatting so that a particular paragraph, such as a heading, will always
begin on a new page.
1) Scroll down to the Access Additional Productivity Resources heading and place your
insertion point at the beginning of the word Access.
2) From the Insert menu choose Break.
3) Make sure the Page Break option is selected and click OK (or press [Enter]). A page
break will be inserted before the heading.
4) Click the Show/Hide icon on the toolbar to display hidden characters.
5) Scroll to the previous page to see the page break indicated.
6) Click the icon again to hide hidden characters.
7) Click the Undo icon or press [Ctrl] [Z] to remove the page break. We will try some other
methods for adding a page break.
8) Make sure your insertion point is still in front of the heading and press [Ctrl] [Enter]. This
is a shortcut for manually adding a page break.
9) Undo once again to remove the page break. Now we will try adding a page break using the
paragraph formatting options.
10) Right-click on the heading or go to the Format menu and then choose Paragraph.
11) Make sure the Line and Page Breaks tab is selected at the top of the Paragraph options.
12) Click the Page break before option and click OK. Since this page break is part of the
paragraph formatting, this paragraph will now always begin on a new page, even when
text is re-arranged in the document. For headings, this is often better than putting in a
manual page break as we did before.
13) Use the Paragraph formatting option to place a page break before each of the following
headings in the document.
Capture and Reuse Information
Word 2003 System Requirements
Exercise 7.
Adding Headers & Footers

3) Make sure your insertion point is at the left of the page header.
4) Type Microsoft Word 2003.
5) Click the Switch Between Header and Footer icon on the toolbar. You will be taken to
the footer at the bottom of the page.
6) Click the Insert AutoText button on the toolbar and then click the Filename option from
the list.
7) The filename will be inserted in the left part of the footer. If you rename the file, the
filename will update in the footer the next time you open the document.
8) Press [Tab] to move to the middle section of the document.
9) Press [Tab] a second time to move to the right section of the footer.
10) Type Page followed by a space.
11) Click the Insert Page Number icon on the toolbar and then add another space.
12) Type of followed by a space.
13) Click on the Insert Number of Pages icon on the toolbar.
14) Click Close on the toolbar to finish editing the header and footer.
Exercise 1.
Creating Three Tables
1) Create a new blank document.
2) Locate the Insert Table icon on the toolbar and click on it. A 5x4 grid of squares appears.
This allows you to choose how many rows and columns your table will have.
3) Drag through the grid until it shows 5 x 5 table like the example to the right.
4) Release your mouse and a table 5 columns wide and 4 rows high will be created like the
one below.
5) Click below the table so we can create a second table (if Word wont let you click below
the table because there are no more paragraphs under it, try double-clicking. You can
double click on any place in a document to place the insertion point there).
6) Press [Enter] to make sure there is at least one blank paragraph before you create the
second table. Otherwise Word may join the two tables together not a huge problem
normally but for now we want separate tables.
7) From the Table menu select Insert and then select Table.
8) Enter 3 for the number of columns and 2 for the number of rows.
9) Click OK to create the table. It should look like the one below.
10) Make sure there is a blank paragraph below the second table before continuing.
11) Click the Tables & Borders icon on the toolbar to display the Tables & Borders toolbar.
12) The first icon on the toolbar (Draw Table icon) should be selected as in the example
above. Click on it if it is not already selected. When it is selected, your mouse pointer
will turn in to a pencil shape.
13) With the Draw Table icon selected, draw a rectangle shape under the second table as
shown.
14) When you have created the rectangle outline for the table, drag a line down the middle of
the table to divide it in to two columns.
15) Now drag a horizontal line across the table to split it in to two rows.
16) Now continue to add lines until the table looks similar to the one below. You can use
undo if you make any mistakes.
17) Save the document as Creating Tables and continue on to the next exercise.
Exercise 4.
Adding Calculations to a Table
1) In your list of students we will add a formula to calculate their total mark. Click in the
Total column next to the first student (Connery, S).
2) From the Table menu select Formula. We will need to create a formula that adds together
this students year mark and exam mark which in the table are cells B2 and C2. Complete
the Formula dialog as shown below. Note that any formula must start with a = sign.
3) Click OK when done and the result will appear.
If the cells you are adding together are next to each other you can use a simpler method. You
may have noticed that when the Formula Dialog first appeared there was a different formula
entered already.
4) Right click on the number you just created with a formula and click Edit Field.
5) When the Field dialog appears, click on the Formula button.
6) Edit the formula so that it appears like the example below. This time instead of referring to
specific cells, were telling Word to add up anything in the table that is to the left. This is
a much simpler method for getting the same result.
7) Copy the formula you just created and then paste it in the cell below. You may notice that
the result hasnt updated.
8) To update the result in the new cell, either right click on it and choose Update Field or
click on it and then press [F9], which is a shortcut for updating a selected field.
9) Repeat steps 7 and 8 so that each student has a total mark.
10) Click in the first cell for the Average row (this should be the average year mark).
11) Add a formula like the one shown below.
12) When the formula is added to the cell, use copy and paste to copy it to the other two
average cells. The completed table should look similar to the one below.
13) Save the changes to the file and leave it open.

Exercise 8.
Formatting Borders
1) Select the entire table. Remember you can use the table selection icon.
2) From the Format menu choose Borders and Shading.
3) Choose the same options as above. I.e. Setting should be changed to Grid. Width should
be changed to 1 pt. And Color should be changed to a colour of your choosing.
4) Click OK when these options are selected.
5) Experiment with the other options to create different border styles. Note that the Apply to
option allows you to choose whether the borders are being changed on the selected text,
paragraphs, cells or entire table.
6) You can also use some toolbar options to make some limited changes to border formats.
Select the top row of the table.
7) Locate the borders icon (it is on the Formatting toolbar and the Borders and Shading
toolbar).
8) Click on the arrow next to the icon to display a selection of preset border formats.
14) Draw down the right edge of the first column as shown.
15)That line will now be changed to a dashed line. You can use the drawing tools to format
any lines in a table.
28) Now lets see if it all works. Click on Next: Preview your letters to move on to step 5.
The fields on your letter will now be replaced with details from one of your addresses.
29) Click the Previous << and Next >> buttons in the Task Pane to view the different
addresses in the letter.
If you wanted to print one copy of the letter for a specific person, you could simply select the
right address and then print while that address was showing.
30) Save the document and leave it open.
Exercise 5.
Importing From Another Program
Importing objects from other programs is similar to importing text or a picture. In this
example, we will import a table and a graph from an Excel spreadsheet. You can either insert
the whole file from the Insert menu, or you can be a little more selective as we are about to
do.
1) Start Microsoft Excel.
2) Opening a file in Excel is the same as opening a file in Word. Once Excel has begun, open
the file called States & Cities.
3) Select the table of state sizes and city populations by dragging over the cells as shown on
the following page.
4) Copy the selected cells (the same way you could copy selected text in Word).
5) Switch to your Word document and place you insertion point at the end of the document.
6) Press [Ctrl] [Enter] to place a page break.
At this point we could paste normally and the cells would be inserted as a Word table. A
smart tag on the pasted table would allow you to choose whether the format of the original
table would be retained and whether the data would be linked to the Excel file. Instead we are
going to paste the selected table as an Excel spreadsheet object in the document.
7) From the Edit menu select Paste Special. A dialog box like the one on the next page will
appear.
8) On the left side select the Paste link option so that the pasted table will be linked to the
Excel file. Any changes to the table in Excel will update the copy in your Word
document.
9) In the list, select Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object as shown above and click OK.
The table will be pasted in the Word document.
10) Click on the table and it will become selected as an object in the document. This means
that you could apply object options such as resizing and text wrapping.
11) Right-click on the table. You will notice some options that relate to the link between the
table and the Excel spreadsheet file. Well leave those options for now
12) Change back to the Excel file and click on the graph to select it.
13) When the graph is selected as shown above, copy it using the usual Copy command and
change back to your Word document.
14) When you are back in your Word document, paste the copied graph in to your document
after the table. A Smart Tag will appear.
15) Click on the Smart Tag to see a list of options.
16) Select the Link to Excel Chart option so that the graph will change if the original file is
changed.
17) Right-click on the graph and choose Format Object (or choose the Object option from
the Format menu when the graph is selected).
18) Change the options in the Layout tab so that they appear as below and click OK..
19) Resize and position the graph so that it is next to the table as in the example below.
Exercise 15.
Auto fill
Excel has a feature called Auto fill, which enables the user to easily copy information over a
large range of cells at the same time. Make sure the Copy workbook is still open. Like most
workbooks, this one has more than one sheet. We will change to the second sheet to practice
using the auto fill feature.
1) To change to the second sheet, press [Ctrl] [Page Down] or click the tab for sheet 2 at
the bottom of the screen.
2) Select cell A1. When the cell is selected, you will see a border around the cell that is
used for moving cells. In the bottom-right corner of that border, is an area referred to
as the fill handle. If you move your mouse over the bottom-right corner, your mouse
pointer will change to a small black cross.
3) With your mouse pointer still positioned over the fill handle, click and hold the mouse
button, then drag downwards. Continue dragging until you have reached cell A10.
4) Release the mouse button, and those cells will all be filled with the contents of cell A1.
5) Select cell B1. Follow the steps above to fill the cells below with the contents of cell
B1. Excel will recognise this cell as being one of the days of the week, and will fill
the other cells with the following days. This uses a feature known as intelligent auto
fill.
6) Try the same thing with cell C1 and you will see that Excel also recognises
abbreviated day names.
7) The same also works with month names. Use the fill handle to copy cell D1 to the cells
below, then copy E1 to the cells below.
8) Use the fill handle to copy F1 to the cells below and do the same with G1
9) In cell H1 we have not only a month name, but a year as well. Use the fill handle to
copy this to the cells below. When the series reaches January, the year will change
appropriately.
10) In cell H1 we have a month name. Use the fill handle to copy it to the cells blow and
the series will continue. The contents of cell H1 may also be a persons name. If this
was the case, then we might not want it to change the following cells the months in
the year. Try using the fill handle on cell I1 but this time hold down the [Ctrl] key as
you drag downwards. This will temporarily disable the intelligent auto fill feature.
11) In other cases, you may want to force Excel to fill intelligently. If you use the auto fill
feature on cell J1, the cells would all be filled with the number 1. If you hold down
[Ctrl], you will be telling Excel to use Auto Fill. Copy cell J1 downwards while
holding down [Ctrl].
12) In column K, we have 2 cells filled in. Select both of those cells ( K1:K2). If you use
the fill handle while 2 cells are selected, Excel will work out the difference between
the 2 cells and increase the following cells by the same amount. Try copying
downwards using the fill handle. Try doing the same with the 2 months in column L.
13) In column M, we have a month in addition to the year. When the series reaches
January, the year will change. Try copying M1 down with the fill handle.
14) Save the changes to the file when you are done ( or [Ctrl][S])
Exercise 8.
Using the AutoSum Tool
Since the Sum function is used so often, a special tool has been provided to make it easy to
use.
1) Click in cell E9.
2) Click the AutoSum icon on the toolbar.
Excel will create a Sum function referring to the cells above. Excel will assume the cells
above are the ones to be added together. These cells will remain selected in case you would
rather select a different group of cells. If there are numbers in the cells above, the cells to the
left will be used. Otherwise the nearest group of cells will be selected.
3) Press [Enter] to confirm that the correct cells are selected and complete the function.
The function should look like the one below.
=SUM(E2:E8)
You can also use the AutoSum tool by selecting the cells to be added first.
4) Select cells F2 to F8.
5) Click the AutoSum icon.
A Sum function will be automatically created based on the cells you selected.
The AutoSum icon can also be used to create other common functions such as Average and
Count.
6) Click in cell G9.
7) Click the arrow next to the AutoSum icon.
A list of common functions will be displayed.
8) Click on Average.
An Average function will be created in the selected cell. Notice that it is written the same as a
Sum function.
9) Check that the function reads =AVERAGE(G2:G8) and press [Enter] to complete the
function.
10) Save the changes to the workbook and then close it.
Exercise 9.
Using Functions in a Table
1) Open the Grades workbook (This was created in the Getting Started exercises).
2) Click in cell F6.
3) Click the AutoSum icon.
4) Make sure cells B6 to E6 are selected and press [Enter] to complete the function.
5) Use the fill handle to copy the function down through to cell F16.
When a formula is copied to other cells, the cell references should change for each cell.
6) Click in cell B15.
7) Click the arrow next to the AutoSum icon and click on Average.
8) Make sure cells B6 to E6 are selected and press [Enter] to complete the function.
9) Use the fill handle to copy the formula across to cell F15.
10) Click in cell B16.
11) Click the arrow next to the AutoSum icon and click on Max.
Notice that the function has selected all of the cells above including the average cell which
we dont want selected.
12) While these cells are still highlighted, select cells B6 to B14 and press [Enter]. The
formula in cell B16 should be =MAX(B6:B14).
13) Use the fill handle to copy the formula across to cell F16.
14) Try completing the Lowest mark cells yourself by using the Min function.
15) Use a count function in cell B18 to show the number of students.
Exercise 11.
Vertical Lookup
1) Open the Grades workbook if it is not already open.
The first thing we will need to do is create the table that will contain the grade cut-off points.
2) Click in cell K6 and enter a zero.
3) Complete the information in cells K6 to L10 as shown to the right.
4) Click in cell H5 and enter the text Grade.
5) Click in cell H6. This is where we want the first grade to go.
6) Enter the following formula. =VLOOKUP(
7) Click on cell F6 (the cell with the first students mark).
8) Type a comma to end the first section and then select the grades cut-off table (which
should be cells K6 to L10.
9) Press F4 to make sure this section uses absolute references ($K$6:$L$10). When we
copy the function down for the other students we want to make sure it is still
correctly referring to the cells with the grade cut-off marks.
10) Type another comma and then the number 2.
11) Type another comma and then type true.
12) Type a closing bracket and then press [Enter] to complete the formula. The
completed formula should be =VLOOKUP(F6,$K$6:$L$10,2,TRUE).
13) Use the fill handle to copy the function down to cell H14 so that every student has a
grade.
If your lookup table goes horizontally instead of vertically then you can use a horizontal
lookup function. It works exactly the same except that you type Hlookup instead of Vlookup.
14) Save and close the file.
Exercise 5.
Changing Number Formats
1) Select the cells with the table averages ( B15:F15).
2) Access the Format Cells dialog box by using one of the following methods.
From the menu, select Format, Cells.
Right-click the selected cells and choose Format Cells.
Press [Ctrl] [1].
3) Make sure the Number tab is selected.
4) From the list of Categories on the left choose Number.
5) Set the number of Decimal Places to 2. Note that a sample of the selected number
format appears at the top.
6) Click OK to confirm the change.
Number formats will remain even if the numbers in the cells change.
Aligning Text
1) Select the cells B5:H5.
8) Notice that the Merge Cells option is turned on and the Horizontal alignment is
set to center because we used the Merge and Center icon earlier. Click Cancel to
leave these options as they are.
Exercise 1.
Creating a Column Graph
1) Open the Grades.xls file that you have been working on previously. We will create a
graph to show the results for the students each term.
2) Select the cells A5:E14. Note that this includes headings but no totals.
3) Click the Chart Wizard icon.
The chart wizard will begin. As you can see from the title bar of the wizard, this will be the
first of four steps. The first step is to choose a chart type.
4) From the list of Chart Types, make sure Column is selected.
5) In the list of Chart sub-types, choose the first option in the second row as shown
above.
6) Click and hold the Press and Hold to View Sample button to see a basic preview of
your chart.
7) Click Next to proceed to the second step of the wizard.
8) The second step allows you to confirm that the correct data is selected for the chart. It
has automatically selected to use the student names along the bottom of the chart. For
Series In, select Rows to have the terms along the bottom of the chart.
9) Click the Series tab at the top to see what labels and series are being used for the
chart.
Notice that for each student name in the Series list, you are shown which cell the Name of
the series comes from and which cell range the Values for that series come from. You can
use this to add additional students if needed. The Category (X) axis labels box specifies
which cells the labels along the bottom of the chart will come from (Term 1-4).
10) Click Next to continue to the third step of the wizard.
This step allows you to add additional information such as a chart title. These options can all
be changes later but we will use some of them now.
11) In Chart Title enter Eastern Goldfields Student Results.
12) Click Next to proceed to the last step of the wizard.
This step allows you to place the chart on the current sheet, or to place it on an entirely new
sheet (more on working with sheets later).
13) Make sure the second option is selected as shown above and click Finish.
A chart will now be created on the sheet. Since the charts probably been placed overlapping
your table, youll probably want to move it.
14) Position your mouse pointer over a blank area of the chart and drag the chart until the
outline of the chart is below your table as shown to the right.
Exercise 5.
Creating a Pie Chart
One of the differences between a pie chart and a normal chart is that a pie chart will only
show data for one series at a time. In the following exercise, well create a pie chart from the
years data.
We need to begin by selecting the names of the students (to be used as labels) and the data
itself.
1) Select the cells with the student names including the student heading ( A5:A14). Since
we need to select more than one group of cells well need to use the [Ctrl] key.
2) Hold down [Ctrl] and select the cells with the year data (F5:F14)
A5:A14 and F5:F14 should now be selected.
3) Click the chart wizard icon to begin creating the chart from the selected data.
4) Select Pie for the Chart type and the second sub-type as shown in the example
above.
5) Click Next to continue
6) Confirm that the selected cell range reads =Sheet1!$A$5:$A$14,Sheet1!
$F$5:$F$14 and click Next to continue.
7) Change the Chart title to Student Marks for the Year and click Next to continue.
8) For the final step, select As new sheet and enter Pie Chart for the name of the sheet.
9) Click Finish to complete the chart.
10) Click on the chart to select it.
11) Right-click on the selected chart and select Format Data Series.
12) Select the Data Labels tab and select the Category Name option as shown below.
13) Clock OK to make the change. The name of each student will now appear next to
their pie slices. This means we no longer need the chart legend so we can delete it to
make more room.
14) Click the legend to select it and press [Delete].
15) Click the chart to select it again and then click the pie piece for Lita Alexander. That
piece will now be the only one selected.
16) Slowly drag that piece away from the centre of the pie. This technique is often used
to emphasise a certain figure (such as the highest mark).
You can return to the original sheet ( Sheet 1) at any time by using the sheet tabs at the
bottom of the window.
Exercise 2.
Modifying a Charts Format
When a chart has been created, you can customise almost anything about the way the chart
looks. When a chart is selected, the chart toolbar will appear.
This toolbar contains icons that can be used to modify the chart in several ways. Most parts
of a chart can be selected and formatted individually as well.
1) Click on the title of the chart.
2) Use the Font Formatting box in the toolbar to change the font style to Comic Sans
MS.
3) Click on one of the dark blue bars in the chart (these should be the ones for Lita
Alexander). All of the bars for that student (series) will be selected.
4) Right-click one of the selected bars and select Format Data Series, or click the icon
on the chart toolbar.
5) Click a colour from the colour palette shown.
6) Click OK. All the bars for that student will change to the new colour.
7) Click one of the selected bars. That bar alone will be selected. Clicking a bar from a
selected series a second time means that you will be able to change the formatting
from that one separately from the others in the series.
Many parts of the chart can be formatted by double clicking on them as well.
8) Double click on the background of the chart to access the Format Walls options.
9) Click the Fill Effects Button
10) Click Two Colours and then choose two colour for the gradient background as shown
below.
11) Click OK to confirm your choices and click OK again to exit the Format Walls
options. The background area of your chart will now be formatted using the two
colours you selected.
12) Try formatting other areas of the chart by double-clicking on them and then changing
the options that appear.
Exercise 4.
Filtering a list
Filtering a list allows you to temporarily hide rows in the list so that only certain information
will be visible when the list is viewed of printed. For example, you may want to filter the list
so that only the top 10 songs or showing or filter the list so that only songs by a certain artist
are showing.
Like sorting, when filtering a list, Excel will automatically select a region so it is only
necessary to select a single cell within the list.
1) Select a cell inside your Music Charts list.
2) From the Data menu choose Filter and then Auto Filter.
Some arrows will appear next to each column heading. These arrows can be used to filter the
list.
3) Click the arrow to the right of the Artist heading. A list of the artists in the list will
appear.
4) Select Britney Spears. The list will be filtered to show only songs from this artist.
Also, the arrow next to artist will turn blue to indicate that this column has been
filtered.
5) Click the Artist arrow again and select (All). The whole list will be displayed once
again.
Note Filtering more than one column at a time will reduce the number of results you will get.
6) Click the arrow next to Pos. Choose (Top 10...).
7) If we leave the options as they are we will get the songs with position numbers 91 to
100 since they are the highest numbers. We actually want the lowest numbers (1 to
10). Change the Top option to Bottom. Leave the number as 10 and leave Items as it
is (this can be changed to get the top 10% instead of top 10 items).
8) Click OK to complete the filter.
The top 10 items will now be shown. They may not be in the right order but at least you
know how to sort them now right?
You can continue working with the table without any problems while the filter arrows are
showing but if you want to remove them, they are turned off the same way they are turned
on.
9) From the Data menu choose Filter and then Auto Filter.
The arrows will be turned off and any current filters will be removed.
Exercise 5. Subtotals
Excel can automatically create totals and subtotals for information in your list. This is best
done if the list is already sorted by the column you want it grouped by. E.g. in our music
charts table, we will use subtotals to count the number of songs for each artist so make sure
your list is still sorted in order of artist.
1) Click anywhere within the list. Remember Excel can automatically select the
boundaries of the region if you select a single cell within the region.
2) Make sure the list is still sorted in order of artist.
3) From the Data menu choose Subtotals.
4) Make sure the options are as shown above. I.e. At each change in: should be set to
Artist since that is the column we want to total. Use function: should be Count since
we want to count the songs for each artist. Add subtotal to: should be Cat No since
thats the column we want to the totals to appear under.
5) Click OK to complete the subtotal.
Note the numbers 1-3 to the left of the sheet (circled in the above picture). These are a
type of filter.
6) Click the number 2 button. The list will be filtered so you see the subtotals without the
individual songs.
7) Click the number 1 button and you will only see the grand total.
8) Click the number 3 button and you will see all records and totals.
Next to each subtotal you will also see a sign (shown to the right).
9) Click on a sign and the songs next to it will be hidden with only the subtotal
remaining. The sign will become a + sign.
10) Click the + sign to show the songs again.
When you no longer want the subtotals you can remove them from the subtotals options
