Hi Susan,
I can pass you on lesson 1 of the excel lessons as I also missed the first
three, but was lucky to get a copy of them from Noreen Meagher. Here is lesson
1, and best wishes to yourself and Joe.
Hi All, it has been on my mind for some time now to just go through the
basics of excel with you all. Please let me know if you feel this is useful
as I am not sure how many of you would even use excel but even if you don't
it is good to know what excel is and what it does.
of a spread sheet:A spreadsheet is a sheet of paper that shows accounting or
other data in rows and columns; a spreadsheet is also a computer application
program that simulates a physical spreadsheet by capturing, displaying, and
manipulating data arranged in rows and columns. The spreadsheet is one of
the most popular uses of
the personal computer.
Okay now that we have some idea of what the spread sheet is, we can simply
call excel a "spread sheet program".
Most people will have the program "Excel" on their computers, if you have
then go into the "start menu, programs" and arrow down till you find it.
If you don't find it directly in the programs menu then you may find that
arrowing down through the programs menu till you come to a "Microsoft
Office" sub menu then right arrowing into it and down arrowing will locate
it for you. When you come to it, just press the "enter key".
When excel opens up you will be presented with lots and lots of rectangular
shapes called cells. These cells are both numbered and alphabetized.
Numbers run down the left hand side of the excel page, while letters run
across the top of the page.
For example you have the first cell on a spread sheet designated "cell A1"
the cell to the right of this cell is called "Cell B2" and the cell directly
beneath cell A1 is "Cell A2"
Now you can try out this for yourselves and just get a feel for the page you
are working in. As we go along, I will try and explain useful shortcut keys
which you can use within the Excel program both jaws specific keys and
excel specific keys. They will all combine to help you use it more
effectively.
I will wherever necessary try and also include those using magnification
if I feel it is necessary.

I have all the excel lessons except lesson 1, this is probably because I only
joined the list at the time the excel lessons were put on to the list. so would
it be possible to send me lesson 1?
many thanks
Susan
