Excel Enhancements

Most excel enhancements are helpful. For example, smart art is very helpful whenever someone is attempting to do a presentation or trying to impress someone. Smart art is basically an enhancement that gives you different pictures that will be able to help you in whatever you are trying to do. another thing that is helpful is title alignment because whenever your title is too big, title alignment will help you change the degrees that it appears to be and you can change the degrees to work at your advantage.
 

Using Math Formulas

Using math formulas in excel is extremely easy and helpful. Instead of having to find the sum of something yourself, al you have to do is click the auto sum button and it will do the work for you. If you dislike math as much as I do then these math formulas will help you out bigtime when you are feeling lazy and do not want to do anything. No need for a claculater, fingers, or paper when you are using math formulas in excel. All of the work is done for you. All you need to do is set up the problem.

Introduction to Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is used to organize and process numbers, money, and other things that need organization in your daily life. The entire history of Microsoft Excel is very simple even though the system it self is very complicated to use. It all started with a software called multi plan which  had the same function of microsoft excel. Multi plan was kicked out of the competition when Lotus 1,2,3 came into the picture. After Lotus 1,2,3 was superior, microsoft decided to develop a software called Odyssey which later became Microsoft Excel.

Business might use Microsoft Excel because somethem probably don't have financial aid. Microsoft Excel can do more than one problem at a time while a calculator can only process one at a time. Microsoft Word is used to create papers, newsletters, flyers, and other things while Excel focuses on organization. Microsoft Excel is capable of creating animated games such as pacman and memory games.

Lesson 4 Reflection

I thought that I had learned a handfull of things in lesson 3 but lesson for was crazy. there was plenty of things that i know now. I learned how to compose a  MLA style paper. MLA stands for Modern Language Association which are guidelines that tell you howw to provide all types of sources such as books, articles, and online sources. A report is a formal document that describes or represents in words, facts and information. An MLA report consists of a header, page numbers, heading, body, and an endnote.You use citationws at the end of a report to indicate where you got your information from. a header is the text that appears at the top of every page that includes your name, teacher, subject, and date.

Lesson 3 Reflection

I think that lesson 3 was the lesson that I learned most on. I have always known how to compose a letter, but I have never known how to compose a business letter or a personal business letter. I also learned how to do mail merge. Mail merge will always help me in the future because now i kno that I will not have to waste my time trying to type individual letters out to peopll when i am trying to send information. I even learned how to create multiple envelopes at once without having any problems. I can use these tinngs in my everyday life because they are efficient ways to complete a task quickly and easily. Composing a letter is not that difficult any more. All you have to do is use MLA format and you are good to go. Mail merge on the other hand can be difficult at times, but once you get the hang of it it is actually kind of cool to see all the messages that you have made in such a little amount of time. It took me a while to get my envelopes to look right at first aswell but after i tried a 3rd time I finally fixed my mistakes. Lesson 3 was actually pretty fun now that I think about it.

Mail Merge

Mail merge is an application on microspft word that allows you to produce many copies of mail and envelopes. The purpose of mail merge is to make copies of something that you would like to send to multiple people without re-typing it over and over again. Someone would usually use mail merge when they are trying to send out invitations to a party or send thank you cards. it is a very efficient and quick way to send information out to multiple people.
