Excel is the most sophisticated spreadsheet program available in the world of personal computing. As such, this program is much more than just an electronic version of an accountant’s familiar green sheet for crunching numbers. For millions of users the world over, Excel is also their number-one forms designer, their interface to the corporate database, as well as their premier charting program. Given Excel’s indisputable versatility, it should come as no surprise that mastering the basics of the program, not to mention its finer points, is no small undertaking. My experience, however, in teaching adults to use all manner of Excel’s capabilities has convinced me that this mastery is greatly accelerated with just a modicum of hands-on experience judiciously applied to rather simple but realistic data-related problems. About This Book As its name suggests, Excel 2007 Workbook For Dummies is designed to give you the kind of hands-on experience with all the major aspects of the program you need to start using the program for business or home with a certain degree of confidence and efficiency. As you’d expect from this type of book, the workbook is primarily composed of questions and exercises that give you plenty of opportunities to experience the purpose and benefits of Excel’s many features. It’s my hope that as a result of doing the exercises in this workbook, you’ll not only be in firm command of the basic skills necessary to work with confidence in the Excel spreadsheet, but also have a good idea of the overall power of the program through experience with its features beyond the spreadsheet. Conventions Used in This Book By convention, all the text entries that you type yourself appear in bold. In addition, all filenames appear in italic type even though they are not italicized when you see their names in the Windows Explorer or the Excel Open dialog box. When it comes to instructions in the exercises throughout the workbook, you’ll notice two conventions: Ribbon commands often follow the sequence of the tab, command button, and drop-down menu option. For example, the command Home | Format | Column Width means that you should select the Home tab, followed by the Format command button, and then finally the Column Width option on the menu that appears. Ribbon hot keys are often given following the Ribbon command sequence. For example, Alt+HOW selects the Home tab, followed by the Format command button, and then the Column Width, entirely from the keyboard. One other convention that you’ll notice used throughout the text is the display of the names for Excel Ribbon commands, Quick Access toolbar buttons, and dialog box options in the title case, wherein all major words are capitalized except for prepositions. The title case is used to make these names stand out from the rest of the text. Often, however, especially in the case of dialog box options, Microsoft does not always follow this convention, often preferring to capitalize only the first letter of the option name. PassWord: No
