Meaning of a Computer:
Computer is a machine that can solve problems by accepting data performing certain
operations andpresenting the results of those operations under the direction of detailed step- by-
step instructions.
Such a set of sequenced instructions, which cause a computer to perform particular operations,
iscalled a program.
The term computer has been derived from theword “COMPUTE” which means calculate.
Definition of a computer
Computer is an electronic device, used for performing calculations and controllingoperations that
be either expressed in logical or numerical terms.
It stores and process data in binary form according to instructions given to it in avariable program.
1. Speed: Computer is able to process the data and give the output in fractions of seconds
such that required information is available to the user on time and hence enables him to
take right decisions at the right time.
2. Accuracy:Computer is error free. There is no scope for inaccuracy in the results given by the
computer. Incorrect calculations, errors, mistake do not take place in a computer system.
3. Reliable:
Today, computer is extensively used because of their reliability. The output
generated by the computer is very reliable to the extent that the input is reliable.
4. Storage capacity: Another important characteristic of a computer is that it has brain of its
own with brilliant memory. It can accept and store any information for a long time. It stores
large amount of data and can recall information instantly .The main memory of the computer
is relatively small and holds certain amount of information. Therefore the data is stored in
secondary memory
5. Versatile:The computer performs three basic operations. It accepts information from the
user; secondly it performs the basic arithmetic operations and logical operations and
finally generates the desired output in the desired form.
8. Recreation:In recent years, computers were used mainly for entertainment and
amusement, like computer games and other programs, computer animation gives life and
movement to inanimate objects. Multimedia too helped in popularizing the use of computers.
9. Networking capacity: A computer can be connected with other computers. This feature of
connectivity with other computers leads to the evolution of computer networking.
10. Compactness: Now-a-day’s size of computers has decreased o lot due to increased technology. The
laptop and Notebook computers can be taken outside.
Elements of a Computer:
Hardware:
Software:
The software of the computer includes operating system which executes allthe
programs and instructions given by the user.
The computer software itself is categorized into two
SOFTWARE
System Software
System software serves as the interface between hardware and the end users.
Includes the software execution by the computer itself such as Windows and DOS.
Application Software
Application software may consist of a single program, such as a Microsoft's notepad for writing and
editing simple text.
It may also consist of a collection of programs, often called a software package, which work
together to accomplish a task, such as a spreadsheet package.
Memory:
The memory of the computer can also be categorized under hardware but sometimes it is
considered as a separate element of the computer system.
Memory allows the user to store the data and processes performed by the computer.
Memory is divided mainly into RAM, ROM and secondary storage devices.
All these components are essential for the effective functioning of computer system
Central Processing Unit (CPU).
Here, in this diagram, the three major components are also shown. So, let us discuss these major components:
Memory or Storage Unit
As the name suggests this unit can store instructions, data, and intermediate results. The memory unit is
responsible for transferring information to other units of the computer when needed.
It is also known as an internal storage unit or the main memory or the primary storage or Random
Access Memory (RAM) as all these are storage devices.
Its size affects speed, power, and performance. There are two types of memory in the computer, which
are primary memory and secondary memory.
Some main functions of memory units are listed below:
Data and instructions are stored in memory units which are required for processing.
It also stores the intermediate results of any calculation or task when they are in process.
The final results of processing are stored in the memory units before these results are released to an output
device for giving the output to the user.
All sorts of inputs and outputs are transmitted through the memory unit.
Control Unit
As the name suggests, a control unit controls the operations of all parts of the computer but it does
not carry out any data processing operations. For executing already stored instructions, It instructs the
computer by using the electrical signals to instruct the computer system.
It takes instructions from the memory unit and then decodes the instructions after that it executes
those instructions. So, it controls the functioning of the computer. It’s main task is to maintain the
flow of information across the processor.
Some main functions of the control unit are listed below:
Controlling of data and transfer of data and instructions is done by the control unit among other parts of
the computer.
The control unit is responsible for managing all the units of the computer.
The main task of the control unit is to obtain the instructions or data which is input from the memory unit,
interprets them, and then directs the operation of the computer according to that.
The control unit is responsible for communication with Input and output devices for the transfer of data or
results from memory.
The control unit is not responsible for the processing of data or storing data.
MEMORY
The memory is that part of the computer where programs and data are stored. There are
two types of memory:
1. Primary Memory
2. Secondary Memory
MEMORY
MAGNE
RAM ROM CACHE REGISTER MAGNE OPTI
TIC TIC CAL
DISK TAPES DISK
o Primary memory holds only those data and instructions on which computer is
currentlyworking.
o It has limited capacity and data is lost when power is switched off. It is
generally made upf semiconductor device. These memories are not as fast as
registers.
This is that part of primary storage where data and program instructions are held
temporarily while being manipulated and executed.
It is called Random Access Memory because any of the locations on a chip can be
randomly selected and used to directly store and retrieve data and instructions.
RAM is volatile i.e. it is depends on a steady supply of electricity and when the power isshut off,
everything stored is lost.
Access time in RAM is independent of the address i.e., each storage location inside the
memory is as easy to reach as other locations and takes the same amount of time.
Static RAM chip: It also provides volatile storage, but as long as it is supplied with power, it
needs no special regenerator circuits to retain the stored data.
Static RAM chips are more complicated and take up more space than dynamic RAM chips.
Therefore, static RAMs are used in specialized applications while dynamic RAMs are used in
primary storage section.
DRAM, unlike SRAM, must be continually refreshed inorder to maintain the data. This
is done by placing the memory on a refresh circuit that rewrites the data several hundred
times per second.
DRAM is used for most system memory because it is cheap and small.
Read only memory chip contains the stored data when the supply is cut. So, unlike RAM chips,
ROM chips are non-volatile.
ROM chip may contain micro program control instructions that cause the machine to perform
certain information such as starting the computer or instructions to the Operating System.
ROM chip can only read. It doesn’t accept any input data on instructions from user. The actual
contents are set by the manufacturers andthey are unchanged and permanent.
ROM chips are not only used in the computer but also in other electronic items like washing
machine and microwave oven. ROM is mainly of three types:
Allows a chip to be programmed by the user for converting critical and lengthy
operations into micro programs that are fused into a chip.
The user buys a blank PROM and enters the desired contents using a PROM program.
Inside the PROM chip there are small fuses which are burnt open during programming.
It can be programmed only once and is not erasable. Once they are in a hardware form,
they can be executed at a very high speed and can’t be altered.
The EPROM chip has a small window on top allowing it to be erased by exposing it to
ultra-violet light for duration of up to 40 minutes.
After reprogramming the window is covered to prevent new contents being erased
It can be erased and reprogrammed about ten thousand times. Both erasing and
programming take about 4 to 10 ms (milli second).
In EEPROM, any location can be selectively erased and programmed. EEPROMs can
be erased one byte at a time, rather than erasing the entire chip.
The basic purpose of cache memory is to store program instructions that are frequentlyre-
referenced by software during operation.
Fast access to these instructions increases the overall speed of the software program.
One element used during processing operations is a high speed Buffer Memory (cache memory),
which is both fast and expensive, as compared to primary storage.
L1 is "level-1" cache memory, usually built onto the microprocessor chip itself.
L2 (that is, level-2) cache memory is on a separate chip that can be accessed more quickly
than the larger "main" memory.
Registers
Registers are a special high-speed storage area within the CPU. All data must be represented in a
register before it can be processed.
For example, if two numbers are to be multiplied,The number of registers that a CPU has and
the size of each (number of bits) help determine the power and speed of a CPU.
For example a 32-bit CPU is one in which each register is 32 bits wide. Therefore, each CPU
instruction can manipulate 32 bits of data.
SECONDARY MEMORY:
Secondary (Auxiliary) storage is the non-volatile memory that is stored externally to the
computer.
A secondary medium usually used for the storage of large amount of data for permanent
or long-term storage of data or programs.
While the secondary media can hold much more data than primary storage, access to the data is
slower.
Capacity: A simple diskette for a personal computer holds the equivalent of 500 printed
pages, or one book. An optical disk can hold the equivalent of approximately 400 books.
Reliability: Data in secondary storage is basically safe, since secondary storage is physically
reliable. Also, it is more difficult for unscrupulous people to tamper with data on disk than
data stored on paper in a file cabinet.
Convenience: With the help of a computer, authorized people can locate and access data
quickly. Different secondary storage media can be ranked according to the following
criteria:
Retrieval speed - The access time of a storage device is the time it takes to locate and retrieve
the stored data. A fast access time is preferable for any storage media.
Storage capacity- A device’s storage capacity is the ability to store data. A large storage
capacity is desired.
Cost per bit of capacity- Low cost is preferred. Secondary storage media with all sizes of computers
can be broadly categorized into:
1. Magnetic tape.
2. Magnetic disk.
3. Optical disk.
Magnetic tape:
Magnetic tape is a one-half or one-fourth inch ribbon of Mylar (a plastic like material) coated with a
thin layer of iron-oxide material.
It is a medium that is often selected to store large files that are sequentially accessed and processed.
Its data density (the number of characters that can be stored in a given physical space) is high and its
transfer rate (the speed with which data can be copied into processor storage) is fast.
Magnetic disk:
A magnetic disk is a Mylar or metallic platter on which electronic data are stored. Unlike
magnetic tapes, data on magnetic disks can also be read randomly.
The data are recorded as tiny invisible magnetic spots on its iron oxide coating.
It consists of two or more metal platters mounted on central spindle like a stack.
Each platter is covered with a magnetic coating, and the entire unit is encased in a sealed
chamber.
The access time for data stored on a magnetic disk is determined by two factors:
The seek time i.e. the time required for positioning read/write headover the proper
track.
Optical Technology:
Optical technology involves the use of laser beams highly concentrated beams of light.
It comes in the form of Optical laser disk, Optical card and Optical tape.
INPUT: Input is the process of entering and translating incoming data in machine- readable
form. The data to be entered are often referred as input. Input process involves data
preparation, processing and accuracy checks.
A Manual Input Device requires a human hand to control i.e. (Mouse, Keyboard, Scanner,
Camera, track ball, joystick, and Graphics tablet.)
An Automatic Input Device inputs data without the need for human intervention (once the
device has been set up), e.g. MICR, OMR, barcode reader, webcam, microphone.
Hard Copy is the output on paper and can be read immediately or stored and read later.
This is a relatively stable and permanent form of output.
Soft Copy is usually a screen-displayed output. It is a transient form of output and is lost
when the computer is turned off.
INPUT DEVICES:
An input device is a peripheral device through which data are entered and transformed
into machine-readable form.
Let us have a look at various input devices available.
Keyboards
Every key on the keyboard underneath it consists of a tiny chip called as keyboard
controller, when a key is pressed the controller places the code into the part of the memory
called keyboard buffer.
The buffer temporarily holds the data till it is processed. The signal the keyboard sends to
the computer is called as interrupt.
The keyboard sends an interrupt request to the system software and the data is processed.
Mouse
A mouse is a pointing device. It usually contains one or three buttons: as the user rolls it
on a flat surface, the mouse controls cursor movement on the screen.
When the user presses one of the buttons, the mouse either marks a place on the screen
or makes selections from data on the screen.
It can be used for many applications ranging from games to designing products with
graphics. It can be used as an alternative to keyboard or it can be used in combination with a
keyboard to enhance input operations.
Advantages:
Easy to use
Not very expensive
Moves the cursor faster than the arrow keys of keyboard.
Scanners
Optical Recognition when a device scans a printed surface and translates the image the
scanner sees into a machine-readable format that is understandable by the computer.
on the basis of the width of the lines. A scanner reads the bar code, and
the computer then matches the price and product.
MS-DOS was the main operating system for IBM PC compatible personal computers during the 1980s. It was
gradually superseded by operating systems offering a graphical user interface (GUI) in various graphical
Microsoft Windows operating system generations.
Features of DOS
o MS-DOS does not offer GUI (Graphical User Interface) and doesn't accept mouse inputs. It is a character-
based interface system where all commands are entered in the text at the command-line prompt.
o A disk operating system manages files, folders and allows program loading and execution. It can control
hardware devices such as disk, memory and allocate resources.
o MS-DOS offers a file system to organize, read and write files to the disk storage.
o It is a single-user operating system and performs various tasks to ensure the proper operation of systems.
o It uses a 16-bit file allocation table (FAT16), and a 16-bit interface is used to define the location of the
memory of each file uniquely. These identifiers are stored in a tabular format with the name File
Allocation table.
o MS-DOS does not support a multiuser operating system, and it is less secure and does not have a concept
of user roles. It is very lightweight due to its basic interface and limited features.
Multitasking: A UNIX operating system is a multitasking operating system that allows you to initiate more
than one task from the same terminal so that one task is performed as a foreground and the other task as a
background process.
Multi-user: UNIX operating system supports more than one user to access computer resources like main
memory, hard disk, tape drives, etc. Multiple users can log on to the system from different terminals and run
different jobs that share the resources of a command terminal.
Portability: This feature makes the UNIX work on different machines and platforms with the easy transfer of
code to any computer system.
File Security and Protection: Being a multi-user system, UNIX makes special consideration for file and system
security.
Command Structure: UNIX commands are easy to understand and simple to use. Example: "cp", mv etc. While
working in the UNIX environment, the UNIX commands are case-sensitive and are entered in lower case.
Communication: In UNIX, communication is an excellent feature that enables the user to communicate
worldwide.
Open Source: UNIX operating system is open source it means it is freely available to all and is a community-
based development project.
Accounting: UNIX keeps an account of jobs created by the user. This feature enhances the system performance
in terms of CPU monitoring and disk space checking.
Introduction to Linux
Linux is an open-source Unix-like operating system-based family on the Linux kernel, and the OS kernel was first
published on 17 September 1991 by Linus Torvalds.
Famous Linux distributions are Ubuntu, Fedora Linux, and Debian, the latter of which is composed of several
different modifications and distributions, including Xubuntu and Lubuntu. Commercial distributions are SUSE
Linux Enterprise and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Uses of Linux OS
Web servers
W3Cook releases stats that utilize the top 1,000,000 Alexa domains, which estimate that 96.55% of web servers
use Linux, 1.73% use Windows, and 1.72% use FreeBSD as of May 2015.
Laptops and desktops
As of May 2022, the estimated Linux market share is around 2.5% on desktop computers, according to web server
statistics. Microsoft Windows include a market share of approximately 75.5%, while macOS has around 14.9%.
Mobile devices
Android has become the leading OS for smartphones which is Linux kernel-based. In July 2022, 71.9% of
smartphones worldwide using the internet used Android. Also, Android is a famous OS for tablets, being liable for
more than 60% of table sales as of 2013.
Film production
Linux has been the preferred platform in the film industry for years. The first big film released on a Linux server
was 1997's Titanic. Since then, big studios, including Industrial Light & Magic, Weta Digital, Pixar, and
DreamWorks Animation, have relocated to Linux.
Government use
Linux distros have also got popularity in several national and local governments. Kerala has gone to the mandating
extent that every state high school use Linux on their systems. China utilizes Linux exclusively as the OS for its
Loongson processor family for achieving technology independence.
A few regions have integrated their Linux distribution in Spain, which is extensively used in official and
educational institutions. Also, Germany and France have taken steps toward Linux adoption.
Several software packages are made using programming languages, together with:
Low-level language is machine-dependent (0s and 1s) programming language. The processor runs low- level
programs directly without the need of a compiler or interpreter, so the programs written in low-level language
can be run very fast.
i. Machine Language
Machine language is a type of low-level programming language. It is also called as machine code or object code.
Machine language is easier to read because it is normally displayed in binary or hexadecimal form (base 16) form.
It does not require a translator to convert the programs because computers directly understand the machine
language programs.
The advantage of machine language is that it helps the programmer to execute the programs faster than the high-
level programming language.
Assembly language (ASM) is also a type of low-level programming language that is designed for specific
processors. It represents the set of instructions in a symbolic and human-understandable form. It uses an
assembler to convert the assembly language to machine language.
The advantage of assembly language is that it requires less memory and less execution time to execute a program.
High-level programming language (HLL) is designed for developing user-friendly software programs and
websites. This programming language requires a compiler or interpreter to translate the program into machine
language (execute the program).
The main advantage of a high-level language is that it is easy to read, write, and maintain
High-level programming language includes Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, C#, C++, Objective C, Cobol, Perl,
Pascal, LISP, FORTRAN, and Swift programming language.
Procedural Oriented Programming (POP) language is derived from structured programming and based upon the
procedure call concept. It divides a program into small procedures called routines or functions.
Procedural Oriented programming language is used by a software programmer to create a program that can be
accomplished by using a programming editor like IDE, Adobe Dreamweaver, or Microsoft Visual Studio.
The main advantage of object-oriented programming is that OOP is faster and easier to execute, maintain, modify,
as well as debug.
Natural language is a part of human languages such as English, Russian, German, and Japanese. It is used by
machines to understand, manipulate, and interpret human's language. It is used by developers to perform tasks
such as translation, automatic summarization, Named Entity Recognition (NER), relationship extraction,
and topic segmentation.

document. You can change font styles, adjust font size and apply bold, italics, underline, and strike
through formatting.
Additionally, you can modify text colour, highlight text, and apply various alignment options to
create visually appealing and well-structured content.
Adding hyperlinks can provide additional information or references for your readers to explore.
3. Edit and remove links
Microsoft Word enables you to edit or remove existing hyperlinks in your document. You can
modify the URL, change the display text, or update the link's appearance.
Similarly, if you want to remove a hyperlink, you can easily do so while retaining the plain text.
It ensures that the formatting, styles, and other attributes of the copied text are preserved. Copying
and pasting from Word saves time and effort when transferring content between documents.
You can specify the total number of columns and rows, adjust cell size, merge cells, apply borders,
and format the table to organize and present data in a structured manner.
6. HTML editor
The HTML Editor Tool in Microsoft Word enables you to edit the HTML code of your document
directly.
This advanced Tool is particularly useful for users familiar with HTML markup. This allows the
users to have more control over the document's structure and formatting.
This allows you to view more or less content at once, providing a comfortable and personalised
editing experience.

8. Track changes
The track changes tool in Microsoft Word helps in collaborative editing by highlighting all
modifications made to the document.
You can easily identify added, deleted, or modified text and accept or reject changes based on your
preferences.
This Tool is valuable for reviewing, Proofreading, and incorporating feedback from multiple
contributors.
9. Marginal comments
Microsoft Word allows you to insert marginal comments or annotations alongside the main
document.
In bulleted lists, each paragraph begins with a bullet character. In numbered lists, each paragraph
begins with an expression that includes a number or letter and a separator such as a period or
parenthesis.
The numbers in a numbered list are updated automatically when you add or remove paragraphs in
the list.
You can change the type of bullet or numbering style, the separator, the font attributes and
character styles, and the type and amount of indent spacing.
Select the set of paragraphs that will become the list, or click to place the insertion point where you
want the list to begin.
STEP 1:Click the Bulleted List button or the Numbered List button in the Control panel (in
Paragraph mode). Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while clicking a button to display
the Bullets And Numbering dialog box.
STEP 2:Choose Bullets And Numbering from the Paragraph panel or Command panel. For
List Type, choose either Bullets or Numbers. Specify the settings you want, and then click OK.
STEP 3:Apply a paragraph style that includes bullets or numbering.
STEP 4:To continue the list in the next paragraph, move the insertion point to the end of the list
and press Enter or Return.
STEP 5:To end the list (or list segment, if the list is to be continued later in the story), click the
Bulleted List or Numbered List button in the Control panel again, or choose Bullets And Numbering
from the Paragraph panel menu.
Using the Type tool , select the bulleted or numbered paragraphs you want to reformat.
Do any of the following to open the Bullets And Numbering dialog box:
STEP 1:Choose Bullets And Numbering from the Control panel menu (in Paragraph mode) or the
Paragraph panel menu.
STEP 2:Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) either the Bulleted List button or the
Numbered List button .
STEP 3:In the Bullets And Numbering dialog box, do any of the following:
STEP 4:Change the bullet character.
STEP 5:Change the numbered list options.
STEP 6:Choose a style for the numbers or bullets from the Character Style list.
STEP 7:To change the position of the bullet or number, specify any of the
following: Alignment
Left-aligns, centers, or right-aligns the bullets or numbers within the horizontal space allotted for
numbers. (If this space is narrow, the difference between the three options is negligible.)
Left Indent
Specifies how far the lines after the first line are indented.
First Line Indent
Controls where the bullet or number is positioned.
Increase the First Line Indent value if you want the punctuation in long lists to be aligned.
For example, if you want “9.” and “10.” to be aligned on the period, change the Alignment to
Right and gradually increase the first line indent until the numbers align (make sure Preview is turned
on).
Change bullet characters
If you don’t want to use one of the existing bullet characters, you can add other bullet characters to
the Bullet Character grid. A bullet character that is available in one font may not be available in
another font. You can choose whether the font is remembered with any bullet character you add.
Change the bullet character
STEP 1:On the Control panel menu or Paragraph panel menu, select Bullets And Numbering.
STEP 2:In the Bullets And Numbering dialog box, select Bullets from the List Type menu.
STEP 3:Select a different bullet character, and then click OK.
STEP 1:In the Bullets And Numbering dialog box, select Bullets from the List Type menu, then click
Add.
STEP 2:Select the glyph that you want to use as the bullet character. (Different font families and font
styles contain different glyphs.)
STEP 3:If you want the new bullet to remember the currently chosen font and style, select Remember
Font With Bullet.
STEP 4:Click Add.
STEP 1:In the Bullets And Numbering dialog box, select Bullets from the List Type menu.
STEP 2:Select the bullet character you want to remove, and click Delete. (The first preset bullet
character cannot be deleted.)

To align or justify text, move your cursor into the paragraph you want to change, then click
the left-align, right-align, centered, or justify buttons.
Alignment is how text flows in relation to the rest of the page (or column, table cell, text box, etc.).
There are four main alignments: left, right, center, and justified.
Justification controls the spacing between words. A justified text increases the space between words to
fill the entire line so that it is aligned with both the left and right edges.
Indentation:
In many documents, indenting is a good way to distinguish the start of a new paragraph, especially
when there is no paragraph spacing.
To indent, hit the Tab key once on your keyboard at the start of a paragraph.
One tab at the beginning of the first line of a paragraph. For more
Open the paragraph dialog box by clicking the small arrow icon in the bottom-right corner of the
Paragraph group.
The indentation section is toward the middle of the dialog box.
The Left and Right settings indent the entire paragraph to the left and right.
Indentation Comparison
Without indentation
The Special drop down menu allows you to choose to indent the first line of the paragraph or to
create a hanging indent.
Upon choosing First or Hanging, another field will appear to let you choose how big the first line
or hanging indent will be.
Text entered in the header or footer will appear on each page of the document.
In our example, we want to display the author's name at the top of each page, so we'll place it in the
header.
STEP 1:Double-click anywhere on the top or bottom margin of your document. In our example,
we'll double-click the top margin.
STEP 2:The header or footer will open, and a Design tab will appear on the right side of the Ribbon.
The insertion point will appear in the header or footer.
STEP 3:Type the desired information into the header or footer. In our example, we'll type the author's
name and the date.
STEP 4:When you're finished, click Close Header and Footer. You can also press the Esc key.
Word has a variety of preset headers and footers you can use to enhance your document's design
and layout. In our example, we'll add a preset header to our document.
STEP 1:Select the Insert tab, then click the Header or Footer command. In our example, we'll click
the Header command.
STEP 2:In the menu that appears, select the desired preset header or footer.
STEP 3:The header or footer will appear. Many preset headers and footers contain text placeholders
called Content Control fields. These fields are good for adding information like the document
title, author's name, date, and page number.
STEP 4:To edit a Content Control field, click it and type the desired information.
STEP 5:When you're finished, click Close Header and Footer. You can also press the Esc key.
STEP 6:If you want to delete a Content Control field, right-click it and select Remove Content
Control from the menu that appears.
After you close the header or footer, it will still be visible, but it will be locked.
Simply double-click a header or footer to unlock it, which will allow you to edit it.
Design tab options
When your document's header and footer are unlocked, the Design tab will appear on the right side
of the Ribbon, giving you various editing options:
Hide the first-page header and footer: For some documents, you may not want the first page to show
the header and footer, like if you have a cover page and want to start the page numbering on the
second page. If you want to hide the first-page header and footer, check the box next to Different First
Page.
Remove the header or footer: If you want to remove all information contained in the header, click
the Header command and select Remove Header from the menu that appears. Similarly, you can
remove a footer using the Footer command.
Page Number: You can automatically number each page with the Page Number command. Review
our Page Numbers lesson to learn more.
Additional options: With the commands available in the Insert group, you can add the date and
time, document info, pictures, and more to your header or footer.
Sometimes it's helpful to include the date or time in the header or footer. For example, you may
want your document to show the date when it was created.
On the other hand, you may want to show the date when it was printed, which you can do by
setting it to update automatically. This is useful if you frequently update and print a document
because you'll always be able to tell which version is the most recent.
STEP 1:Double-click anywhere on the header or footer to unlock it. Place the insertion point where
you want the date or time to appear. In our example, we'll place the insertion point on the line below the
author's name.
STEP 2:The Design tab will appear. Click the Date & Time command.
STEP 3:The Date and Time dialog box will appear. Select the desired date or time format.
STEP 4:Check the box next to Update automatically if you want the date to change every time you

SPREADSHEETS
An Excel worksheet also enables users to apply mathematical and statistical logic to the data and
manipulate it according to the requirements of the business strategies.
So, this was a brief introduction to Excel Worksheet. In the next section, you will learn how to
create a new Excel Worksheet.
To create a new Excel worksheet, you need to follow the steps mentioned below.
By default, when you start Microsoft Excel, there is an option of selecting a variety of worksheets,
as shown below.
You can select the option based on the requirements. For now, create a blank worksheet. The blank
worksheet looks as shown below.
Insert a New Excel Worksheet
There might be a situation where you would need to include another worksheet along the side of
the existing worksheet. This collection of Excel Worksheets is called an Excel Workbook.
To insert a new worksheet, you can right-click on the sheet name in the bottom sheet tracker tray,
as shown below.
By selecting the new worksheet option from the available options, you can create a new worksheet
as displayed below.
A new dialogue box will appear on the screen, where you can select the option to include a new
sheet.
You can rename the Excel Worksheet by right-clicking on the sheet name and selecting the rename
option from the dialogue box as shown below.
If you wish to eliminate the Excel Worksheet, you must right-click onto the worksheet tab and
select the delete option from the dialogue box as shown below.
Worksheets in Excel can also be hidden. Now, you will see how that can be done.
Sometimes, you might have to keep a particular worksheet hidden. You can achieve this
by right-clicking the worksheet name on the worksheet tray and selecting the hide option from
the dialogue box, as shown below.
If you want to unhide the hidden worksheet, you can right-click on the existing worksheet and
choose the option of Unhide, as shown below.
The following dialogue box will show the list of hidden sheets, and you can choose the sheet you
wish to unhide, as shown below.
In the next part, you will learn to move or copy an Excel Worksheet.
To move or copy an excel worksheet, you must right-click on the sheet name you wish to move or
copy and select the option of copy or move option from the dialogue box as shown below.
After selecting the option, you will find a new dialogue box, as shown below.
The first step is to select the workbook where you want to copy or move the current worksheet. It
can be the current workbook or a different workbook, as shown below.
The next step is to select if you want to move (cut and paste) the worksheet or copy the worksheet.
If you wish to copy the sheet, then make sure you select the tick option as shown below.
If you wish to move the worksheet to a new workbook, then select the new workbook option in the
first menu and do not select the tick in the last option that reads "make a copy".
In the upcoming part, you will learn to protect the cells in the excel worksheet.
Excel Opening
.
3. A new blank workbook will appear.
In addition to creating new workbooks, you'll often need to open a workbook that was previously
saved. To learn more about saving workbooks, visit our lesson on Saving and Sharing Workbooks.
3. The Open dialog box will appear. Locate and select your workbook, then click Open.
.
If you've opened the desired workbook recently, you can browse your Recent Workbooks rather
than search for the file.
To pin a workbook:
If you frequently work with the same workbook, you can pin it to Backstage view for faster access.
1. Navigate to Backstage view, then click Open. Your recently edited workbooks will appear.
2. Hover
your mouse over the workbook you want to pin. A pushpin icon will appear next to the
workbook. Click the pushpin icon.
3. The workbook will stay in Recent Workbooks. To unpin a workbook, simply click the pushpin icon
again.
Using templates
A template is a predesigned spreadsheet you can use to create a new workbook quickly.
Templates often include custom formatting and predefined formulas, so they can save you a lot of
time and effort when starting a new project.
2. Select New. Several templates will appear below the Blank workbook option.
3. Select a template to review it.
4. A preview of the template will appear, along with additional information on how the template
can be used.
5. Click Create to use the selected template.
You can also browse templates by category or use the search bar to find something more specific.
It's important to note that not all templates are created by Microsoft. Many are created by
third-party providers and even individual users, so some templates may work better than
others.
To exit Compatibility Mode, you'll need to convert the workbook to the current version type.
However, if you're collaborating with others who only have access to an earlier version of Excel, it's
best to leave the workbook in Compatibility Mode so the format will not change.
To convert a workbook:
If you want access to the newer features, you can convert the spreadsheet to the current file format.
Note that converting a file may cause some changes to the original layout of the workbook.
Numbers are values used when making calculations. Formulas are mathematical calculations.
The data can be typed in either the cell or in the formula bar.
Data being typed appears in the both active cell and the formula bar.
Notice the Cancel and Enter buttons in the formula bar.
Click the Enter button to end the entry and turn off the formula bar buttons.
Excels Auto-complete feature keeps track of previously entered text. If the first few characters
you type in a cell match an existing entry in that column, Microsoft Excel fills in the remaining
characters for you.
Information in a spreadsheet is likely to change over time. Information can be changed in two
ways.
If the original entry is long and requires only a minor adjustment (in spelling, for example), you
can directly edit the information in the cell.
OR
To delete data being typed but not yet added to the cell:
Cancel an entry by pressing the Escape key.
Using the Undo and Redo features
Sometimes you might do something to a spreadsheet that you didn't mean to, like type the wrong
number in a cell. Excel XP allows you to undo an operation.
Use the Undo button on the Standard toolbar to recover an error. The last single action is
recoverable.
Microsoft Excel reverses the selected action and all actions that appear in the list above it.
An Undo operation can be canceled by applying a Redo. This is useful when an Undo operation
was mistakenly applied.
Remember, a redo is possible only if you have not changed an Excel spreadsheet since the last
Undo operation was completed:
The currently selected cell in Excel XP is called the active cell. You can also select a group of
adjacent cells, or a cell range.
Many operations can be done against a cell range, including moving, copying, deleting, and
formatting.
A cell range can be defined in different ways: select a specific range of cells, select multiple
columns or rows, or select the entire worksheet.
Click the gray row heading to select the entire row. Click and drag the cursor down through
the row headings select those rows.
To select an entire worksheet:
Click the gray rectangle in the upper-left to select the entire worksheet.
If the cells and columns you want to select are not directly next to one another, select one of the
ranges you want to select, then hold down the Control key while selecting other ranges.
Formatting Navigating
Data Cleaning and Data Formatting in Excel has always been the toughest task for a data analyst.
Most business decisions are based on reports the analysis team generates and shares. One mistake
around the data format is a perfect recipe for disaster.
This tutorial on Formatting in Excel by Simplilearn is your one-stop solution to learn the
fundamentals of data formatting in excel. By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to recognize and
rectify all the common mistakes you make while preparing your reports.
What Is Formatting in Excel?
Now that you know the fundamentals of Data Formatting in Excel, you will learn how to
implement formatting in real-time.
As discussed before, formatting in excel can be done based on various requirements, including
appearance, datatype, and data organization. You can do Data Formatting in Excel by navigating the
home tab.
Moving ahead, you will now learn how to implement formatting in Excel based on the number or
datatype formatting in the next section.
Number Formats might sound simple, but improper number formats may lead to improper reports
in the end. A simple scenario can explain the situation in a better way.
Now, imagine you work with an automotive store, and your store manager requests you to find the
customer that made the highest purchase in the month to award the customer a discount on his next
purchase.
Let us assume all transactions are saved in dollar format except the one. In a hurry, you
missed adding dollar format to it, which is the highest transaction made in the month. This simple
scenario explains how easily things could go sideways.
In this section, you will learn what is number Formatting in Excel and how to add number
formatting in Excel?
Select a cell or a cell range or the complete column where you wish to add Number Formats
General is a number format selected as the default by excel for any number you type into the
spreadsheet.
The number appears the same way you type it without additional decimals or modifications.
Number
Number Format is exclusively used when you are working with numbers.
The Number Format will add decimal points to your data to keep it more accurate, and you can also
customize the number of decimal points you wish to have.
Currency
Currency Number Format is used when you want to represent numbers in the form of currency.
For example, annual investment data. You might use dollars to represent such kinds of data.
Accounting
Accounting is completely similar to currency. You can use the accounting Number Format to add
decimal places to your currency to make it more accurate.
Date
The Date Format is employed in spreadsheets to consider your input as a calendar date instead of a
regular number.
Time
The Time Format converts the general default number format to the time format.
Percentage
For example, the Excel spreadsheet calculates the percentage values and multiples by 100 and
denotes the decimal values in a percentage format.
Fraction
The Fraction Format displays the general number in the form of a fraction according to the type of
fraction you chose.
Scientific
The Scientific Number Format differs slightly from currency or a general or decimal number. The
Scientific Number Format has an exponential number that indicates the power of a number.
Apart from exponents, the scientific number format also includes trigonometry, calculus, roots of a
number, etc.
Text
The text includes the textual type of data. Here, Excel treats any number of data you type as text
format and keeps it the way it is without adding any decimals or mathematical symbols.
Special
You also have symbols besides numbers, text, and scientific notations. These symbols are entitled
as special symbols. While using these symbols, you need to select the Format of the special symbol.
Custom
Apart from all the available options, Excel also provides its users with a customizable option that
will help them use existing formats and customize them to create a completely new one.
So far, you have learned about number Formatting in Excel. Apart from number formatting, you
can also carry out formatting at the cell level.
You will now learn Cell Formatting in Excel in the next segment of this tutorial.
Cell Formatting in Excel is a little different from number formatting in Excel. Cell formatting is
related to text alignment, color, font, cell background color, images, etc.
Navigate to the Home tab and search for the Font group.
Click on the drop-down icon, and Excel will provide you with a wide variety of font options,
as shown below.
After the Font option, you can go through the font color, bold, italic, and underline options along
with the text alignment in the same Home tab.
A little towards the right side in the alignment group, you have text alignment, text wrapping, and
text indentation options, as shown below.
The Text color option will help users customize the text color in Excel with various color options, as
shown below.
The Cell background color option will help users modify the cell background color in the spreadsheet,
as shown below.
Cell Borders Formatting in Excel
The spreadsheet borders option will allow users to add cell borders as per the requirement of the
users.
You have the clipboard group on the left side of the font tab. The clipboard group will help you
with a variety of paste options.
The copied text on the clipboard can be pasted, or you can also use a custom paste option.
Conditional Formatting in Excel
On the right side of the Number Format Group, you have Conditional Formatting, Cell Formatting,
and Table Formatting options, as shown below.
The Conditional formatting option will allow the users to highlight or mark cells on excel
spreadsheets based on logical functions and formulae, as shown below.
Table Formatting in Excel
The Table Formatting in excel will allow you to modify the tabular data in Excel with various
options, as shown in the image below.
Cell Formatting in Excel
The Cell Formatting option in Excel will allow users to modify individual cell background colors per
the user requirements, as shown below.
Navigating formulas
In Microsoft Excel formulas, constants are numbers, dates or text values that you enter directly in
a formula. To create a simple Excel formula using constants, just do the following:
=100-50
Instead of entering values directly in your Excel formula, you can refer to the cells, containing
those values.
For example, if you want to subtract a value in cell B2 from the value in cell A2, you write the
following subtraction formula: =A2-B2
When making such a formula, you can type the cell references directly in the formula, or click the
cell and Excel will insert a corresponding cell reference in your formula.
Note. By default, Excel adds relative cell references. To switch to another reference type, press
the F4 key.
A big advantage of using cell references in Excel formulas is that whenever you change a value in
the referred cell, the formula recalculates automatically without you having to manually update all
the calculations and formulas on your spreadsheet.
To take a step further, you can create a name for a certain cell or a range of cells, and then refer to
that cell(s) in your Excel formulas by simply typing the name.
The fastest way to create a name in Excel, is to select a cell(s) and type the name directly in
the Name Box. For example, this is how you create a name for cell A2:
A professional-like way to define a name is via the Formulas tab > Defined names group
or Ctrl+F3 shortcut. For the details steps, please see creating a defined name in Excel.
And now, to calculate the net income, you can type the following formula in any cell on any sheet
within the workbook in which those names were created: =revenue-expenses
In the same manner, you can use names instead of cell or range references in arguments of Excel
functions.
For example, if you create the name 2015_sales for cells A2:A100, you can find a total of those
cells by using the following SUM formula: =SUM(2015_sales)
Of course, you can get the same result by supplying the range to the SUM
function: =SUM(A2:A100)
However, defined names make Excel formulas more understandable. Also, they can significantly
expedite creating formulas in Excel especially when you are using the same range of cells in multiple
formulas. Instead of navigating between different spreadsheets to find and select the range, you just
type its name directly in the formula.
Excel functions are nothing else than predefined formulas that perform the required calculations
behind the scene.
Each formula begins with an equal sign (=), followed by the function name and the function
arguments entered within the parentheses. Each function has specific arguments and syntax (particular
order of arguments).
For more information, please see a list of the most popular Excel functions with formula examples
and screenshots.
If you do not feel very comfortable with Excel spreadsheet formulas yet, the Insert Function
wizard will give you a helpful hand.
To run the wizard, click the Insert Function button on the Formulas tab > Function Library group,
or pick a function from one of the categories:
Alternatively, you can click the Insert Function button to the left of the formula bar.
Or, type the equal sign (=) in a cell and pick a function from the drop-down menu to the left of the
formula bar.
By default, the drop-down menu displays 10 most recently used functions, to get to the full list,
click More Functions…
2. Find the function you want to use.
If you know the function name, type it in the Search for a function field and click Go.
If you are not sure exactly what function you need to use, type a very brief description of the
task you want to solve in the Search for a function field, and click Go. For example, you can
type something like this: "sum cells", or "count empty cells".
If you know what category the function belongs to, click the small black arrow next to Select
a category and choose one of the 13 categories listed there. The functions belonging to the
selected category will appear in the Select a function
You can read a short description of the selected function right under the Select a function box. If
you need further details regarding that function, click the Help on this function link near the bottom of
the dialog box.Once you've found the function you wish to use, select it and click OK.
3. Specify the function arguments.
In the second step of the Excel function wizard, you are to specify the function's arguments. Good
news is that no knowledge of the function's syntax is required.
You just enter the cell or range references in the arguments' boxes and the wizard will take care of
the rest.
To enter an argument, you can either type a cell reference or range directly into the box.
Alternatively, click the range selection icon next to the argument (or simply put the cursor into the
argument's box), and then select a cell or a range of cells in the worksheet using the mouse.
While doing this, the function wizard will shrink to a narrow range selection window. When you
release the mouse button, the dialog box will be restored to its full size.
A short explanation for the currently selected argument is displayed right under the function's
description. For more details, click the Help on this function link near the bottom.
Excel functions allow you to perform calculations with cell residing on the same worksheet,
different sheets and even different workbooks.
In this example, we are calculating the average of sales for 2014 and 2015 years located in
two different spreadsheets, which in why the range references in the above screenshot include the
sheet names. Find more about how to reference another sheet or workbook in Excel.
As soon as you've specified an argument, the value or array of values in the selected cell(s) will be
displayed right to the argument's box.
When you have specified all the arguments, click the OK button (or just press the Enter key), and
the completed formula is entered into the cell.
Write a formula directly in a cell or formula bar
As you've just seen, creating a formula in Excel by using the function wizard is easy, thought it's
quite a long multi-step process.
When you have some experience with Excel formulas, you might like a faster way - typing a
function directly into a cell or formula bar.
As usual, you start by typing the equal sign (=) followed by the function name. As you do this,
Excel will perform some kind of incremental search and display a list of functions that match the part of
the function's name you've already typed:
So, you can either finish typing the function name on your own or select from the displayed list.
Either way, as soon as you type an opening parenthesis, Excel will show the function screen
tip highlighting the argument you need to enter next.
You can type the argument in the formula manually, or click a cell (select a range) in the sheet and
have a corresponding cell or range reference added to the argument.
After you've input the last argument, type the closing parenthesis and hit Enter to complete the formula.
Tip. If you are not quite familiar with the function's syntax, click the function name and the Excel
Help topic will pop-up right away.
Handling and Copying
Use Cut, Copy, and Paste to move or copy cell contents. Or copy specific contents or attributes
from the cells. For example, copy the resulting value of a formula without copying the formula, or copy
only the formula.
When you move or copy a cell, Excel moves or copies the cell, including formulas and their
resulting values, cell formats, and comments.
You can move cells in Excel by drag and dropping or using the Cut and Paste commands.

CHARTS
CREATING:
Charts
A chart is a tool you can use in Excel to communicate data graphically. Charts allow your audience
to see the meaning behind the numbers, and they make showing comparisons and trends much easier.
A chart is a visual representation of data, in which the data is represented by symbols such as bars
in a bar chart or lines in a line chart.
Chart Elements
The different parts that make up a chart are referred to as chart elements. Chart elements give more
descriptions to your charts, thus making your data more meaningful and visually appealing.
Follow the steps given below to insert the chart elements in your graph:
Step 1 − Click the chart. Three buttons appear at the upper-right corner of the chart.
Step 2 − Click the Chart Elements icon. A list of available elements will be displayed.
1. Chart area
2. Chart title
3. Plot area
4. Horizontal (category) axis
5. Vertical (value) axis
6. Axis title
7. Data points of the data series
8. Chart legend
9. Data label
Chart Area: The chart area is everything within the outside border. This is the area that makes up the
chart. All charts have a chart area.
Chart titles: When you create a chart, a Chart Title box appears above the chart.
Plot Area: The plot area is the area which is enclosed by the two axis. This area can have its own
border as well as a background color. The plot area is everything enclosed by the axes. This does not
include titles, legend, etc.
Axes: Charts typically have two axes that are used to measure and categorize the data.
vertical axis (also known as value axis or y axis), andA horizontal axis (also known as category axis
or x axis)3-D Column charts have a third axis, the depth axis.
Axis titles: Axis titles give the understanding of the data of what the chart is all about.You can add axis
titles to any horizontal, vertical, or the depth axes in the chart.
Data Series: A data series is a collection of data points (or markers) and normally corresponds to the
data within a single row or column. This could be a series of columns, bars or a series of squares or
crosses joined together by a line.
Data labels:Data labels make a chart easier to understand because they show the details about a
data series or its individual data points. You can change the location of the data labels within the
chart, to make them more readable.
Legend:When you create a chart, the Legend appears by default. You can hide a Legend by
deselecting it from the Chart Elements list.
Creating Charts with Insert Chart :To create a chart in Excel, you start by entering the numeric data
on a worksheet, and then continue with the following steps.
• The data in the first column (or columns headings) is used as labels along the X axis of your chart.
• The numerical data in other columns are used to create the labels for the Y axis.
• Either the column headings or data in the first column are used in the chart legend.
Excel automatically chooses the data for the legend based on your data layout.
Overall, there are 3 ways to customize charts in Excel 2016 and Excel 2013.
1. Select the chart and look for the needed options on the Chart Tools tabs on the Excel ribbon.
2. Right-click an element on the chart and select the corresponding context menu item. For example,
here's the right-click menu for customizing the chart title:
3. Use on-object chart customization buttons. These buttons appear in the top right corner of your chart
as soon as you click on it.
Chart Elements button. It launches the checklist of all the elements you can modify or add to your
graph, and it only shows those elements that are applicable to the selected chart type.
The Chart Elements button supports Live Preview, so if you are not sure what a certain element is,
hover the mouse on it and you will see what your graph would look like if you select that option.
Chart Styles button. It lets you quickly change the chart styles and colors.
Chart Filters button. It allows you to show or hide data displayed in your chart. For more options,
click the Chart Elements button, find the element you want to add or customize in the checklist, and
click the arrow next to it.
The Format Chart pane will appear on the right of your worksheet, where you can select the
options you want:
Types of Charts:
Excel provides you different types of charts that suit your purpose. Based on the type of data, you can
create a chart. You can also change the chart type later. Excel offers the following major chart types −
• Column Chart
• Bar Chart
• Pie Chart
• Doughnut Chart
• Line Chart
• Area Chart
• XY (Scatter) Chart
• Bubble Chart
Surface Chart
Column Chart
A Column Chart typically displays the categories along the horizontal (category) axis and values along
the vertical (value) axis. To create a column chart, arrange the data in columns or rows on theworksheet.
Line Chart
Line charts can show continuous data over time on an evenly scaled Axis. Therefore, they are ideal for
showing trends in data at equal intervals, such as months, quarters or years.
In a Line chart −
• Category data is distributed evenly along the horizontal axis.
• Value data is distributed evenly along the vertical axis.
To create a Line chart, arrange the data in columns or rows on the worksheet.
Pie Chart
Pie charts show the size of items in one data series, proportional to the sum of the items. The data
points in a pie chart are shown as a percentage of the whole pie. To create a Pie Chart, arrange the data
in one column or row on the worksheet.
Bar Chart
Bar Charts illustrate comparisons among individual items. In a Bar Chart, the categories are
organized along the vertical axis and the values are organized along the horizontal axis.
To create a Bar Chart, arrange the data in columns or rows on the Worksheet.
3-D Clustered
Bar, 3-D Stacked
Bar,
3- D 100% Stacked Bar etc.
Area Chart
Area Charts can be used to plot the change over time and draw attention to the total value across
a trend. By showing the sum of the plotted values, an area chart also shows the relationship of parts to
a whole. To create an Area Chart, arrange the data in columns or rows on the worksheet.
XY (Scatter) Chart
XY (Scatter) charts are typically used for showing and comparing numeric values, like scientific,
statistical, and engineering data. A Scatter chart has two Value Axes −
It combines x and y values into single data points and displays them in irregular intervals, or
clusters. To create a Scatter chart, arrange the data in columns and rows on the worksheet.
Place the x values in one row or column, and then enter the corresponding y values in the
adjacent rows or columns. Consider using a Scatter chart when −
Bubble Chart
A Bubble chart is like a Scatter chart with an additional third column to specify the size of the
bubbles it shows to represent the data points in the data series.
A Bubble chart has the following sub-types −
• Bubble
• Bubble with 3-D effect
Surface Chart
A Surface chart is useful when you want to find the optimum combinations between two sets of
data. As in a topographic map, colors and patterns indicate areas that are in the same range of values.To
create a Surface chart −
How to create a chart template
In Excel 2013 and 2016, to save a graph as a chart template, right-click the chart and pick Save as
Template in the pop-up menu:
Clicking the Save As Template option brings up the Save Chart Template dialog, where you type
the template name and click the Save button.
By default, the newly created chart template is saved to the special Charts folder.
All chart templates stored to this folder are automatically added to the Templates folder that
appears in the Insert Chart and Change Chart Type dialogs when you create a new or modify an
existing graph in Excel.
On the All Charts tab, switch to the Templates folder, and click on the template you want to apply.
To apply the chart template to an existing graph, right click on the graph and choose Change
Chart
Type from the context menu. Or, go to the Design tab and click Change Chart Type in the Type group.
Either way, the Change Chart Type dialog will open, you find the desired template in the
Templates folder and click on it.
To delete a graph template, open the Insert Chart dialog, go to the Templates folder and click the
Manage Templates button in the bottom left corner.
I have a dataset containing some names of fruits as Product and their Sales value of 4
months (January to April). Now, I will show you how you can format Excel to print using
thisdataset.
Formatting Orientation to Print in Excel
While formatting Excel to print you must choose the orientation of the page. Follow the steps given
below to format orientation in your Excel spreadsheet.
Steps:
Firstly, go to the Page Layout tab >> click on the Page Setup button.
Now, you will see the preview version of the printed copy.
Now, I will show you how to select paper size to print in Excel. Go through the steps given below
to print your Excel spreadsheet.
STEPS
In the beginning, open the Page Setup box following the steps shown in Method1.
Then, select any Paper size of your choice. Here, I will select A4 as Paper size.
You will also need to choose a printer option to print in Excel. The steps to choosing a printer are given
below.
Steps:
Next, I will show you how to select the print area to print in Excel. Go through the steps given below to
print your Excel spreadsheet.Steps: In the beginning, go to the File tab.
Then, go to the Print option.
After that, select Print Active Sheets if you want to print the Active Sheets from
the Settings option. On the other hand, choose Print Entire Workbook if you want to print the
Entire Workbook.
Additionally, you can also print a specific selection from the worksheet in Excel.
Firstly, select your preferred range. Here, I will select Cell range B2:F12.
Then, go to the Page Layout tab >> click on Print Area >> select Set Print Area.
This is one of the most useful printing options in Excel.Let’s say you have a heading row in your
data and you want to print that heading row on every page you print.
You can do it with the Print Title option. Here are the steps:
In the beginning, go to the Page Layout Tab >> click on Print Titles.
A dialog box of Page Setup will appear.
After that, from the Sheet tab of the Page Setup box, specify the following things.
Print Area: Select the entire data that you want to print. Here, I will select cell range B2:F12.
Rows to repeat at the top: Heading row(s) which you want to repeat on every page. Here, I will
select Row 4.
Columns to repeat at the left: Column(s) which you want to repeat at the left side of every page if
you have any.
The Page Order option is useful when you have a large number of pages to print. Using the Page
Order option is quite simple. You can specify the page order while printing. Here are the steps.
Steps:
In the beginning, open the Page Setup box following the steps shown in Method1.
Then, go to the Sheet tab.
Now, here, you have two options:
The first option (Down, then over) is if you want to print your pages using vertical order.
The Second option (Over, then down) is if you want to print your pages using horizontal order.
As I said it’s quite useful to use the page order option when you have a large number of pages to print,
you can decide which page order you want to use. Here, I have selected the Down, then over option.
You can print comments in excel with a smart way.Sometimes when you have comments in your
worksheet, it’s hard to print those comments in the same manner they have. So, the better option is to
print all those comments at the end of the pages.Yes, you can do this. Here are the steps. Steps:
Firstly, open the Page Setup box following the steps shown in Method1.
Then, go to the Sheet tab.
After that, in the Print section, select at the end of the sheet using the comment dropdown.
Finally, click OK
I’m sure you have faced this problem in excel that sometimes it’s hard to print your data on a
single page.
At that point, you can use the Scale To Fit option to adjust your entire data into a single page.
Steps:
Firstly, open the Page Setup box following the steps shown in Method1.
Well, normally we all use page numbers in the header and footer. But with a Custom option, you can
use some other useful things as well.
Steps:
Firstly, open the Page Setup box following the steps shown in Method1.
Then, go to the Header/Footer tab.
After that, click on the Custom Header/ Footer button. Here, I will click on the Custom
Header Button.

Time
File Path
File Name
Sheet Name
Image
Now, insert the text “How to Format Excel to Print” in the Center section.
Afterward, click OK.
Then, you will find the Header and Footer added to the page like below.
This option is useful when you have less data on a single page.Let’s say you just have data Cell
range B2:D12 to print on a page. So you can align them into the center of the page while
printing.These are the steps.
Steps:
In the beginning, open the Page Setup box following the steps shown in Method1.
Then, go to the Margins tab.
Now, In “Center on Page” you have two options to select.
o Horizontally: It will align your data into the center of the page.
o Vertically: This will align your data into the middle of the
page. Next, turn on both options.
Finally, click OK.
Now, we will show you how to use Custom Margins to format Excel spreadsheets to print.nd, here
are the steps to easily adjust margins.
Then, go to the Print option, and you’ll get an instant print preview.
After that, from the bottom right slide of the window, click on the Show Margins button.
Now, it will show all the margins applied.
Here, we have a dataset containing the Name, Working Days, Salary, and Salary per Day of
some employees. But, in Cell E8 it shows a #DIV/0! Error. Now, I will show how to replace this error
value while printing with another specific value in Excel.
Steps:
In the beginning, open the Page Setup box following the steps shown in Method1.
Then, go to the Sheet tab.
After that, select a replacement value from the Cell error as a dropdown.
You have three options to use as a replacement.
Blank
Double minus sign.
#N/A Error for all the
errors. Here, I will select <blank>.
Finally, after selecting the replacement value click OK.
Customizing Number Format for Page Number in Excel to Print
This option is basic.
Let’s say you are printing a report and you want to start the page number from a custom number
(5). You can specify that number and the rest of the pages will follow that sequence.
Steps:
In the beginning, open the Page Setup box following the steps shown in Method1.
Then, in the input box “First page Number”, enter the number from where you want
to start your page numbers. Here, I will insert 5 in the box.
Finally, click OK.
ANALYSIS TABLES:
Here are some tips for getting the most out of Analyze Data:
Analyze Data works best with data that's formatted as an Excel table. To create an Excel table,
click anywhere in your data and then press Ctrl+T.
Make sure you have good headers for the columns. Headers should be a single row of unique,
non-blank labels for each column. Avoid double rows of headers, merged cells, etc.
If you have complicated, or nested data, you can use Power Query to convert tables with cross-tabs,
or multiple rows of headers.
Here are some reasons why Analyze Data may not work on your data:
Analyze Data doesn't currently support analyzing datasets over 1.5 million cells. There is currently
no workaround for this. In the meantime, you can filter your data, then copy it to another location to run
Analyze Data on it.
String dates like "2017-01-01" will be analyzed as if they are text strings. As a workaround, create
a new column that uses the DATE or DATEVALUE functions, and format it as a date.
Analyze Data won't work when Excel is in compatibility mode (i.e. when the file is in .xls format).
In the meantime, save your file as an .xlsx, .xlsm, or .xlsb file.
Merged cells can also be hard to understand. If you're trying to center data, like a report header,
then as a workaround, remove all merged cells, then format the cells using Center Across Selection.
Press Ctrl+1, then go to Alignment > Horizontal > Center Across Selection.
Even if you don't have any of the above conditions, we may not find a recommendation.
That's because we are looking for a specific set of insight classes, and the service doesn't always
find something.
We are continually working to expand the analysis types that the service supports.
Rank: Ranks and highlights the item that is significantly larger than the rest of the items.
Trend: Highlights when there is a steady trend pattern over a time series of data.
Outlier: Highlights outliers in time series.
Majority: Finds cases where a majority of a total value can be attributed to a single factor.
Financial Statement?
Financial Statements are summary reports which contain the state of the financial situation of a
company or organization.
They include the reports of the like balance sheet, Income statement, and Cash Flow statement.
They are the written documents or records that the company performs throughout the year.
1. Balance Sheet
It summarises the financial position of the company after a certain period. It is also known as
a Statement of Financial Position/condition.
In general, a balance sheet contains 3 portions. And, these are Assets, Liabilities, and Owners’
equity A balance sheet provides a glimpse of the company’s finances.
The sheet consists of the company’s liabilities, assets, and shareholder’s equities. Balance sheets
are organized according to the equation:
Assets: These are the main resources owned by the company. Assets can be classified into
many types. Like Current and Fixed assets, Tangible and Intangible assets, etc.
Liabilities: They are things that the company owes to a person or a company like cash, loans,
etc.
Owners Equity: It represents the value for a company’s shareholders after all the company’s
assets were sold off and all company liabilities were paid off.
Income Statement
It reports the profit and loss of a company over a certain period. So, the income statement is made
of 3 parts:
1. Revenue
2. Expense
3. Profits.
So, it contains all incomes and expenses in a certain period and calculates net profit.
Cash Flow Statement
Cash flow statements are the bridge between the Income statement and the Balance sheet. There are
also 3 parts to it:
Operations: It is the main source of revenue for a company or organization. Cash flows
regarding main operations will be included here.
Investment Activity: Cash received or paid due to buying or selling any assets, taking loans,
paying interest on loans, etc are included here.
Financing Activity: Cash flows regarding any changes in equity earning or borrowing entities
like bonds, stocks, or dividends.

Field - a field consists of a grouping of characters. A data field represents an attribute (a characteristic or
quality) of some entity (object, person, place, or event).
Record - a record represents a collection of attributes that describe a real-world entity. A record consists
of fields, with each field describing an attribute of the entity.
File - a group of related records. Files are frequently classified by the application for which they are
primarily used (employee file). A primary key in a file is the field (or fields) whose value identifies a
record among others in a data file.
sorting
Sorting is the process or arranging items in a set in a specific order. Sorting a table would create a
copy of the table in which the rows may have a different order than the original.
Storing the new table would require an amount of space similar to that of the original table.
Due to this reason sorting is used less frequently; only used when a new copy of the sorted table is
required. Sorting is allowed using multiple fields, such as sorting addresses using the states and
then sort using the cities inside the states.
Indexing
Indexing is a method that is used to improve the data retrieval speed in a table of a database. An
index could be created using a single or more columns in a table and the index is stored in a
separate file. This file contains the logical order of rows along with their physical position in the
table.
The space required by an index file is typically less than the space required to store the table.
Unique indices will prevent the table from containing duplicate values of the index. Indexing
would make the data retrieval more efficient.
Indexing and sorting are two methods that can be used to create an order in a data table. Indexing
would create an index file that contains only the logical order of rows along with their physical
position in the table whereas with sorting, a copy of the sorted table has to be stored.
Usually, the index file requires lesser space than storing a sorted table. Furthermore, some
operations like running queries and searching would be faster with a table with indexes.
In addition, indexing would not change the original order in the table, while sorting would change
the order of rows. Also, operation such as linking tables would require having an index.
What are queries?
Queries are a way of searching for and compiling data from one or more tables. Running a
query is like asking a detailed question of your database. When you build a query in Access, you
are defining specific search conditions to find exactly the data you want.
DESIGNING QUERIES
Queries are far more powerful than the simple searches or filters you might use to find data
within a table. This is because queries can draw their information from multiple tables. For
example, while you could use a search in the customers table to find the name of one customer at
your business or a filter on the orders table to view only orders placed within the past week,
neither would let you view both customers and orders at once. However, you could easily run a
query to find the name and phone number of every customer who's made a purchase within the
past week.
A well-designed query can give information you might not be able to find out just by examining
the data in your tables.
When you run a query, the results are presented to you in a table, but when you design one you
use a different view. This is called Query Design view, and it lets you see how your query is
put together.
Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn how to navigate the Query Design view.
One-table queries
Let's familiarize ourselves with the query-building process by building the simplest query
possible: a one-table query.
We will run a query on the Customers table of our bakery database. Let's say our bakery is
having a special event, and we want to invite our customers who live nearby because they are the
most likely to come. This means we need to see a list of all customers who live close by,
and only those customers.
We want to find our customers who live in the city of Raleigh, so we'll search for "Raleigh" in
the City field. Some customers who live in the suburbs live fairly close by, and we'd like to
invite them as well. We'll add their zip code, 27513, as another criteria.
If you think this sounds a little like applying a filter, you're right. A one-table query is actually
just an advanced filter applied to a table.
3. Access will switch to Query Design view. In the Show Table dialog box that appears,
select the table you want to run a query on. We are running a query on our customers, so
we'll select the Customers table.
4. Click Add, then click Close.
5. The selected table will appear as a small window in the Object Relationship
pane. In the table window, double-click the field names you want to include in
your query. They will be added to the design grid in the bottom part of the
screen. In our example, we want to mail invitations to customers who live in a
certain area, so we'll include the First Name, Last Name, Street Address, City,
and Zip Code fields.
6. Set the search criteria by clicking the cell in the Criteria: row of each field you
want to filter. Typing criteria into more than one field in the Criteria: row will set
your query to include only results that meet all criteria. If you want to set multiple
criteria but don't need the records shown in your results to meet all of them, type the
first criteria in the Criteria: row and additional criteria in the or: row and the rows
beneath it. Because we want to find customers who either live in Raleigh or in the
27513 zip code, we'll type "Raleigh" in the City field and "27513" into the or: row of
the Zip Code field. The quotation marks will search these fields for an exact
match.
7. After you have set your criteria, run the query by clicking the Run command on
the Design tab.
8. The query results will be displayed in the query's Datasheet view, which looks like a table.
If you want, save your query by clicking the Save command in the Quick Access Toolbar.
When prompted to name it, type the desired name, then click OK.
Now you know how to create the simplest type of query with only one table. In the next lesson, you'll
learn how to create a query that uses multiple tables.
Create a Report
1. Select the table or query you want to base the report on.
Linking Of DataFile
The database linking workflow consists of a few simple steps:
1. Open or create a drawing with the entities you want to link.
2. Create a new database connection, specifying the database you want to use.
3. For the database table you want to link to, specify the field/column which is the “unique
id” of the data in that table.
4. Link entities, one by one, to records in the relevant database table.
5. View the data in the database.
6. Run a query.
7. Specify the label format.
You need to tell the program where to find the database containing the information you want to
link to the drawing entities.
2. Browse for a database file. This can be an MS Access, MS Excel or any other supported
type of database file. Select the database file you want and click Open.
4. The new connection displays in the connection tree on the left side of the Database
Linking window. The database tables in the database connection are displayed
beneath
the connection node. Each database table has one or more Label Formats and Queries
attached to it.
There are many components available in the DBMS. Each component has a significant task in the DBMS. A
database environment is a collection of components that regulates the use of data, management, and a group
of data. These components consist of people, the technique of Handel the database, data, hardware, software,
etc. there are several components available for the DBMS. We are going to explain five main topics of the
database below.
1. Hardware
o Here the hardware means the physical part of the DBMS. Here the hardware includes
output devices like a printer, monitor, etc., and storage devices like a hard disk.
o In DBMS, information hardware is the most important visible part. The equipment which
is used for the visibility of the data is the printer, computer, scanner, etc. This equipment
is used to capture the data and present the output to the user.
o With the help of hardware, the DBMS can access and update the database.
o The server can store a large amount of data, which can be shared with the help of the
user's own system.
o The database can be run in any system that ranges from microcomputers to
mainframe computers. And this database also provides an interface between the real
worlds to the database.
o When we try to run any database software like MySQL, we can type any commands with
the help of our keyboards, and RAM, ROM, and processor are part of our computer
system.
2. Software
3. Data
o The term data means the collection of any raw fact stored in the database. Here the data
are any type of raw material from which meaningful information is generated.
o The database can store any form of data, such as structural data, non-structural data, and
logical data.
o The structured data are highly specific in the database and have a structured format. But
in the case of non-structural data, it is a collection of different types of data, and these
data are stored in their native format.
o We also call the database the structure of the DBMS. With the help of the database, we
can create and construct the DBMS. After the creation of the database, we can create,
access, and update that database.
o The main reason behind discovering the database is to create and manage the data within
the database.
o Data is the most important part of the DBMS. Here the database contains the actual data
and metadata. Here metadata means data about data.
o For example, when the user stores the data in a database, some data, such as the size of
the data, the name of the data, and some data related to the user, are stored within the
database. These data are called metadata.
4. Procedures
o The procedure is a type of general instruction or guidelines for the use of DBMS. This
instruction includes how to set up the database, how to install the database, how to log in
and log out of the database, how to manage the database, how to take a backup of the
database, and how to generate the report of the database.
o In DBMS, with the help of procedure, we can validate the data, control the access
and reduce the traffic between the server and the clients. The DBMS can offer better
performance to extensive or complex business logic when the user follows all the
procedures correctly.
o The main purpose of the procedure is to guide the user during the management and
operation of the database.
o The procedure of the databases is so similar to the function of the database. The major
difference between the database procedure and database function is that the database
function acts the same as the SQL statement. In contrast, the database procedure is
invoked using the CALL statement of the DBMS.
o Database procedures can be created in two ways in enterprise architecture. These two
ways are as below.
o The individual object or the default object.
o The operations in a container.
o Database Access Language is a simple language that allows users to write commands to
perform the desired operations on the data that is stored in the database.
o Database Access Language is a language used to write commands to access, upsert, and
delete data stored in a database.
o Users can write commands or query the database using Database Access Language
before submitting them to the database for execution.
o Through utilizing the language, users can create new databases and tables, insert data and
delete data.
o Examples of database languages are SQL (structured query language), My Access,
Oracle, etc. A database language is comprised of two languages.
The following commands serve as the base for all DDL commands:
o ALTER<object>
o COMMENT
o CREATE<object>
o DESCRIBE<object>
o DROP<object>
o SHOW<object>
o USE<object>
2. Data Manipulation Language(DML): It is used to access a database. The DML provides the
statements to retrieve, modify, insert and delete the data from the database.
The following commands serve as the base for all DML commands:
o INSERT
o UPDATE
o DELETE
o LOCK
o CALL
o EXPLAIN PLAN
6. People
o The people who control and manage the databases and perform different types of
operations on the database in the DBMS.
o The people include database administrator, software developer, and End-user.
o Database administrator-database administrator is the one who manages the complete
database management system. DBA takes care of the security of the DBMS, its
availability, managing the license keys, managing user accounts and access, etc.
o Software developer- theThis user group is involved in developing and designing the parts
of DBMS. They can handle massive quantities of data, modify and edit databases, design
and develop new databases, and troubleshoot database issues.
o End user - These days, all modern web or mobile applications store user data. How do
you think they do it? Yes, applications are programmed in such a way that they collect
user data and store the data on a DBMS system running on their server. End users are the
ones who store, retrieve, update and delete data.
o The users of the database can be classified into different groups.
i. Native Users
ii. Online Users
iii. Sophisticated Users
iv. Specialized Users
v. Application Users
vi. DBA - Database Administrator
Main Menu Form: Design a main menu form with buttons or a list of options for
users to navigate through different functionalities.
o Create buttons or use list boxes/comboboxes to represent different modules
or tasks.
Open the VBA Editor: Press Alt + F11 to open the VBA editor in Access.
Event Handling: Write VBA code to handle events like button clicks or list
selection changes.
o For each menu option, create a VBA procedure that opens the relevant form
or performs the required action.
Example:
vba
Copy code
' Example code to open a form from a menu option
Private Sub btnCustomers_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Customers"
End Sub
Data Entry Forms: Create forms for adding, editing, and deleting records.
Display Forms: Create forms to display data with filters and sorting options as needed.
Example:
vba
Copy code
' Example code to open a form for adding new records
Private Sub btnAddNew_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "NewCustomer", , , , acFormAdd
End Sub
Navigation: Use navigation buttons or tabs to move between forms and modules.
Data Validation: Implement validation rules to ensure data integrity (can be done
using form events like BeforeUpdate).
Testing: Test the application thoroughly to ensure all functionalities work as expected.
Debugging: Use Access’s debugging tools and error handling in VBA to fix issues.
Split Database: Consider splitting the database into front-end (forms, reports,
queries) and back-end (tables) for easier management and scalability.
Distribution: Distribute the front-end file to users or deploy the application on a
network share.
Use Macros Sparingly: Prefer VBA over macros for greater flexibility and control.
Optimize Performance: Index fields, optimize queries, and manage
resources effectively.
User Interface Design: Design forms with user experience in mind, focusing on clarity
and ease of navigation.

PowerPoint is already open.
4. To change the layout of an open slide, click on the Layout button in the Home tab.
INSERTING, EDITING AND DELETING SLIDES:
❖ To delete text :
Option #1: Highlight the text you want to delete by dragging the cursor over the letters, and press the
delete key.
Option #2: Click on the selection rectangle around the text so that its border changes from hatch marks
to dots, and then press the delete key.
Option #3: On the Slides pane (off to the left), position your cursor to the point in the presentation
where you would like the new slide to appear (i.e. between slides, at the beginning of the presentation,
or at the end of the presentation). Right click, and choose “New slide” from the menu that appears.
❖ To delete a slide :
Option #1: Go to Edit->Delete Slide. The current slide will disappear from the workspace.
Option #2: On the Slides pane (off to the left), click on the slide you would like to delete, and then hit
the <Delete> key.
SLIDE:
A slide is a page, document or template where all the content of a presentation is written. It is just
like a page of paper or page of slide show. A single page in the slide show presentation is known as a
slide.
A slide is a container, which can contain – texts, pictures, charts, drawing and animations ECT.
which are also known as objects.
TYPES OF SLIDES:
Power Point offers 27 different types of slide layouts divided into four categories:
• Text Layout - A Text layout slide contains only text. The slide might contain one or two columns
of text, with or without a title.
• Content Layout – Content layout slides can contain up to four pieces of content in several
arrangements. Content is a graph, a photo, an organization chart, or some other visual
element.
• Text and Content Layout – The seven text and content layouts place text and content on a slide
in various arrangements.
• Other Layout – The other layouts don’t fit the other categories. For example, you can create a
slide with a single table, diagram, or organization chart. You can also create combinations with text,
media clip art, and charts.
1. Title Slide - Used at the start of your presentation, or to divide sections of your presentation.
2. Title and Content - The default slide layout and the most commonly used slide layout.
3. Section Header - Use this slide type to separate different sections of the same presentation,
rather than use an additional Title slide. It can also be used as an alternate to the Title slide layout.
Two Content - Use this slide layout if you wish to show text in addition to a graphic content type.
Comparison - Similar to the Two Content slide layout, but this slide type also includes a heading text
box over each type of content.
Use this type of slide layout to -o compare two types of the same content type (for example - two
different charts) o show text in addition to a graphic content type
Title Only - Use this slide layout if you want to place only a title on the page, rather than a title and
subtitle. You can then insert other types of objects such as clip art, WordArt, pictures or charts if
desired.
Blank - A blank slide layout is often used when a picture or other graphic object that needs no further
information, will be inserted to cover the whole slide.
Content with Caption - Content (most often a graphic object such as a chart or picture) will be
placed on the right side of the slide. The left side allows for a title and text to describe the object.
Picture with Caption - The upper part of the slide is used to place a picture. Under the slide you can
add a title and descriptive text if desired
FORMATTING SLIDES:
1. In slide or slide sorter view, select the slide or slides you want to add a transition to.
3. In the effect box, click the transition you want, and then select any other options you want.
4. To apply the transition to the selected slide, click apply. To apply the transition to all the
slides, click apply to all
5. Repeat the process for each slide you want to add a transition to. To view the transitions, on the slide
show menu, click animation preview.
You can change the appearance of your slide background by changing its color, shade, pattern, or
texture. You can also use a picture as a slide background, but you can use only one type of background
on a slide or master.
For example – you can have a shaded background, a textured background, or a picture as the back
ground, I but you can use only one of these on a single slide.
When you change the background, you can apply the change to only the current slide or to all the
slides and the slide master.
Formatting slide with color scheme:
The slides can be rearranged slide sorter view. Slides can be dragged or cut and paste can be used
to cut a slide and past it in any order in the presentation file.
If the user is satisfied with the presentation created, it should be saved by clicking ‘Save” on File
menu. Type a file name and click ‘Save’.
Thus, a presentation is created and saved in PowerPoint. It can be reviewed, rehearsed and
modified to make them more attractive.
The user can also ad narration to the presentation. Save the presentation after all the modifications
are carried out.
3. To add the information to notes pages and handouts, click the Notes and Handouts tab.
2. Click Insert Clip Art on the Drawing toolbar, and then click the pictures tab.
4. Click the picture you want, and then click Insert Clip on the shortcut menu.
5. When you are finished using the Clip Gallery, click the Close button on the Clip Gallery title bar
SLIDE TRANSITION:
PowerPoint is a presentation software program of the Microsoft Office package. PowerPoint uses
a graphical approach to presentations in the form of slide shows that accompany the oral delivery of
the topic.
This program is widely utilized in business and classrooms and is an efficient tool when used for
training purposes.
It provides “Power to your Point. PowerPoint is one of the only computer programs to learn.
PowerPoint presentations can be made into photo albums, complete with music or narrations, to
distribute on CDs or DVDs. All in all, PowerPoint is a “one-stop-shop” to make successful
presentations for the business world, the classroom, or simply for your own personal use. In this
chapter, we’ll discuss some advanced features of PowerPoint.
Transitions between slides cover much more than some movement between one slide and the next.
Slide transitions in PowerPoint many options including timings and sounds.
In either the Slide Sorter or Normal view, select the slide or slides to which you want to apply the
transition to. Now, let’s do it practically.
Step 2: The most commonly used animations will appear in the center. To preview more transition
options, click the down arrow.
Step 3: Select a transition from the list. Clicking it will apply the transition to the slide. You can also
select Apply to All to apply the same transition to all your slides.
Step 4: In the Duration option, enter the speed at which you want the transition to play.
Step 5: In the Sound field, use the drop-down menu to select a sound to play during a slide
transition, if desired.
Step 6: Indicate how you want the slide transition to occur by selecting an option under the Advance
Slide heading.
Select On mouse Click if you want the transition to take place when you click the left mouse
button.
Select Automatically After if you want the transition to occur after a specified time.
Use the up and down arrow keys in the blank box to specify the number of seconds which should
pass before the transition takes place.
ANIMATION EFFECTS, AUDIO INCLUSION, TIMERS:
Select the object you want to animate.On the Animations tab, click the More drop-down arrow in
the Animation group.
A drop-down menu of animation effects will appear. Select the desired effect.
.
The effect will apply to the object. The object will have a small number next to it to show that it has an
animation. In the Slide pane, a star symbol also will appear next to the slide.
Some effects will have options you can change. For example, with the Fly In effect you can
control which direction the object comes from.
These options can be accessed from the Effect Options command in the Animation group.
To remove an animation:
Select the small number located next to the animated object.
If you select a new animation from the the menu in the Animation group, it will replace the
object's current animation.
However, you'll sometimes want to place more than one animation on an object,
like Entrance and Exit effects.
To do this, you'll need to use the Add Animation command, which will allow you to keep your
current animations while adding new ones.
Select an object.
Click the Animations tab.
In the Advanced Animation group, click the Add Animation command to view the available
animations.
Select the desired animation effect.
.
If the object has more than one effect, it will have a different number for each effect. The numbers
indicate the order in which the effects will occur.
To copy animations with the Animation Painter:
In some cases, you may want to apply the same effects to more than one object. You can do this
by copying the effects from one object to another using the Animation Painter.
In our example, we want to copy an animation from one slide to another because they have
similar layouts.
Click the object that has the effects you want to copy. In our example, we'll click our answer text.
.
From the Animations tab, click the Animation Painter command.
.
Click the object you want to copy the effects to. In our example, we'll click the answer text on the
next slide. Both objects now have the same effect.
To preview animations:
Any animation effects you have applied will show up when you play the slide show.
However, you can also quickly preview the animations for the current slide without viewing the
slide show.
Navigate to the slide you want to preview.
From the Animations tab, click the Preview command. The animations for the current slide will
play.
The Animation Pane allows you to view and manage all of the effects that are on the current slide.
You can modify and reorder effects directly from the Animation Pane, which is especially useful
when you have several effects.
.
The Animation Pane will open on the right side of the window. It will show all of the effects for
the current slide in the order in which they will appear.
.
If you have several animated objects, it may help to rename them before reordering them in the
Animation Pane. You can rename them in the Selection pane.
To open the Selection Pane, click an object, then from the Format tab click Selection pane.
Double-click the name of an object to rename it.
.
The effects for the current slide will play. On the right side of the Animation Pane, you will be able
to see a timeline that shows the progress through each effect.
If the timeline is not visible, click the drop-down arrow for an effect, then select Show Advanced
Timeline.
To change an effect's start option:
By default, an effect starts playing when you click the mouse during a slide show. If you have
multiple effects, you will need to click multiple times to start each effect individually.
However, by changing the start option for each effect, you can have effects that automatically
play at the same time or one after the other.
From the Animation Pane, select an effect. A drop-down arrow will appear next to the effect.
.
Click the drop-down arrow and select one of the three desired start options. Start on Click will
start the effect when the mouse is clicked, Start With Previous will start the effect at the same
time as the previous effect, and Start After Previous will start the effect when the previous
effect ends.
.
When you preview the animations, all of the effects will play through automatically. To test effects that
are set to Start on Click, you will need to play the slide show.
TIMERS:
Adding a PowerPoint countdown timer can be really useful when doing presentations:
A timer helps you and your audience know how much time has passed.
Timers are handy when you have a time limit you need to be aware of. For example, if you are
quizzing your audience, a countdown timer in the presentation will help them know how much time
they have left to answer your questions.
You can even use PowerPoint timers for a presentation break to ensure your audience knows exactly
when they’re expected to be back in their seats.
How do you put a timer on PowerPoint?
Adding a PowerPoint timer countdown is actually really easy! Here, you’ll find 3 ways to insert
them in your presentation slides. Let’s take a look at each one of them.
Option 1: Free PowerPoint Countdown Timer Add-ins
The easiest way to add a free countdown timer to your presentation is through a PowerPoint add-in.
You just need to open PowerPoint and go to the Insert ribbon > Get Add-ins.
This will take you directly to the Add-in store of Microsoft Office. Once there, you just need to type
“timer” in the search bar, and you’ll get all the options PowerPoint has to offer.
There are many options from where to choose, and you can pick whichever fits best your
own needs. My personal favorites are PP Timer, EasyTimer, and Breaktime.
PP Timer
PP Timer is one of the best options! They offer digital and analog timers, and they both look
professional yet visually appealing.
What's fantastic about PP Timer is the level of customization it offers. You can personalize
the time, font type and size, the text displayed at the beginning and end, a background image, and
even include a last-minute countdown.
EasyTimer
EasyTimer offers three options for PowerPoint countdown timers: A square analog clock, a digital
one, and a bar countdown timer.
Just as its name says, it’s very easy to use, and you just need to add your time. You can also
customize if you want a ticking noise as the seconds pass and a time’s up alarm.
Breaktime
Breaktime is ideal for those looking for a PowerPoint countdown timer for a presentation’s
break. As with Easy Timer, you need to type in how much time you want to countdown.
The best thing about Breaktime is that you can add a themed background to your timer. It offers
different design options, like coffee, books, and lunch. This is what the coffee break would look like:
The only downside of these options is that they’re not very customizable. If you have an amazing
PowerPoint design, these presentation timers will probably not fit very well.
If you want a truly customized feature, chances are you are going to have to do it yourself.
In the next section, I’ll show you how to make your own PowerPoint countdown timer - step by
step!
Option 2: Create Your Own PowerPoint Timers
Making your own PowerPoint countdown timer is easier than you might think. Here you’ll find three
different versions of PowerPoint timers that are very easy to do on your own.
A bar PowerPoint timer is one of the easiest and most effective ways to convey passing time. You
just need to follow these easy instructions:
2.
2. Add movement
Select the shape and go to the Animations Tab. Select Add Animation, and pick the Fly
Out option on the “Exit” group.
2. Make it look like a timer!
Now it’s time to customize the animation so it looks like a countdown timer! On the
Animation Tabs, click Effect Options. Here you’ll be able to choose in which direction you want
your timer to disappear.
If it’s a vertical bar, To Bottom is your pick! In the case of a horizontal bar PowerPoint timer,
select “To Left” or “To Right” as you prefer.
4. Customize your timer’s duration
Finally, let’s add the time. On the far right of the Animation Tab, on the “Timing” group, type
into Duration how much time you want your timer to countdown. And now you have a
customized PowerPoint countdown timer!
Make sure to check out that its start cue is On click (also in the “Timing” group”) so you can
control exactly when the countdown begins. If any of these options are unavailable when you’re trying
to follow these instructions, then you might not have your shape selected. Just click on your rectangle
and try again!
Making a clock PowerPoint countdown timer is very similar to the bar one, and it’s also very easy.
1. Pick your timer base shape
First, you need to pick the shape that’s going to work as your countdown clock. Take into
consideration that it needs to be a shape, not an image.
You need to be able to select only the inner circle of the clock (or the part you want to shade), in
order to make it work.
You can also use an icon for this. Templates by 24Slides offer a wide array of icons you can
download completely for free. There are hundreds of templates, so you’ll definitely find something that
fits your needs!
2. Pick your timer’s color
Select your shape and use the Shape Format Tab > Shape Fill to add color to it. This is how your
countdown clock will look when time’s up.
3. Add movement
While still selecting your shape, go to the Animations Tab > Add Animation > Wheel option in
the “Entrance” group.
Return to the slide and select the rectangle shape. Go to Insert > Action, and choose Run macro.
To confirm your changes, click OK.
5.View your countdown timer in presenter mode
And you’re done! To view your countdown timer, go to the Slide Show Mode and click on the
rectangle shape to initiate the countdown.
