Referencing – Excel worksheet or workbook employs two types of references. 1. Relative (is default) and other is 2. absolute referencing.

a) referencing can apply to many elements of Excel but cell references in formulas are by far the most common usage.

1) cell referencing

2) worksheet references

3) Workbook references

4) Objects references

New term - Referencing

Microsoft Word Modules:

Summary Objective:

Learning how to effectively use a word processor application

Key Goals:

1. Navigating and settings

2. Using key features commonly used: school , industry

3. An introduction to complex features in Word (automated features / document composition , file sharing and document review

Key Products and Experiences:

1. Letters/ mail merge/Forms

2. Resume’

3. Reports: Research papers vs scientific papers

What is Microsoft Word and the Historical ContextDefinition: Word 2010 is the word processing software application that is partof Office 2010 integrated office suite of programs.

Definition: An integrated software suite – individual programs that are designed and operate together in order to connect people (workers, groups, departments, etc) to information to enable a business process.

Much of what we have already learned using Excel is applicable to using Word, e.g. keyboard short cuts (copy and paste, the use of documentthemes and styles, text formatting commands, etc. as well as the use of formulas /tables/ clipboard and images and their manipulation andarrangements, and printing commands and techniques.

1. The programs originally were designed separately but now the designs have evolved so that they are designed to work seamlessly. The core generalized application programs under study in this class are: Excel 2010, Word 2010,

Powerpoint 2010 etc. and Visual Basic programming environment. Other programs are listed as fyi (for your information). see the table listing on page 10.2. of the book. An

office suite may have several combinations of programs embedded and sold as the suite ( Publisher , Visio/ Project Management Software, etc). Basic, Business edition , Professional edition, Student edition, OEM (original equipment manufacturer ) editions and so on……

2. Generalized programs used to solve wide array of business needs. VS.

niche or specialized industry-specific program applications are commonly used by subgroups or industries because of their need for enhanced performance or more powerful features that are common to the general public. Requires specialized training/ more powerful computing (may require faster CPUs or co-processor boards/ RAM / HD / due to larger file sizes/ better displays, etc.)

The word “Processing “ is key word

Expectations?

Discussion:

List some of the features we learned in using Excel that you think should be

available in Word?

Expectations?

Discussion:

List some of the Integrated Office Suite Software that are aware of or may have heard of.

Including other prior offering (versions) of Microsoft Office Products/ Apple/ Adobe/Oracle/ IBM/Peoplesoft….. Others?

MS Word

1. Text Control Codes vs the general Text Editor 2. 1st Generation programs were very basic. Word perfect / Word1.0 etc.

3. Common Uses for Word processing application programs include: a. Notes/Writing Assignment/ Narratives - word driven usage !!!!b. Resume’ – HS Intern & College draftsc. Term Papersd. Reports

i. Tables of Contentsii. Formattingiii. Footnotes and Referencesiv. Endnotesv. Page numberingvi. Document Layout formatting and controlvii. Document composition and review/ collaboration

e. Document Forms (static forms (dumb) and dynamic (smart (using coding))f. Letter mail merges with a table or database or names. Envelop Labels

(address labelsg. Name Badges

Text Control Codes – the software that is used to manage text editing and manipulation. Word processors have a lot. Excel and Powerpoint do not contain as much and the software features that contain maybe a different subset. Remember the word processor has a different purpose and use, as well as different target user/population of users. The software has been “tailored” fitted. A form of modification or change in the software code.

* - underlines words denotes some of the goals in this class that are part of Word 2010 training.
