    Single-user versions are for single person use at any particular


    time, just as a single text book would be used. If you intend to use
    the notes with multiple students the single user version should be
    upgraded to the multi-user version.

    Multi-user versions allow the school or institution to print as many


    copies as required, or to place the PDF files on the school network,
    intranet and staff laptops. A certificate of authentication is provided
    with multi-user versions. Bookmarks provide links to all headings and
    sub-headings, and individual chapters are provided.

    Using Worksheets
    As you have probably noticed Microsoft Excel provides a number of worksheets at
    the bottom of the screen. In fact, a workbook (file) can have up to 256 worksheets.
    Each worksheet is a separate spreadsheet and when you save a workbook all its
    worksheets are saved with it. This means that large spreadsheets can be split up
    into smaller sections with each section placed in a separate worksheet. To illustrate
    the use of worksheets we will create paysheets for three employees of a used car
    business on separate worksheets.

    Loading a Prepared File


    The first paysheet has been prepared for you and it needs to be loaded from the
    EXCEL 2007 SUPPORT FILES.
    1 Load Microsoft Excel 2007 or close the current workbook.
    2 Click on the OPEN button in the QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR or in the OFFICE
    BUTTON.
    3 Access the EXCEL 2007 SUPPORT FILES folder and open the CHAPTER 6
    folder.
    4 Load the PAYSHEET file. Select YES to the READ-ONLY dialogue box. The
    worksheet shows the weekly pay advice information for the manager of the
    business.

    Saving the Workbook


    1 Click on the OFFICE BUTTON and select SAVE AS to display the SAVE AS
    dialogue box.
    2 Click on the TOOLS button and select GENERAL OPTIONS.
    3 Turn off READ-ONLY RECOMMENDED and select OK to return to the SAVE
    AS dialogue box.
    4 Access your STORAGE folder and save the workbook as:
    Ch6 Paysheet

    NOTE: All worksheets are saved when you save the workbook.

    Naming a Worksheet
    When using worksheets it is always a good idea to name each sheet so that
    you know what information is contained in that sheet. At the moment the first
    worksheet is called SHEET1.

    1 Double click on the SHEET1 label


    at the bottom of the screen to
    highlight the label.

    2 Enter the name:


    Doug
    and press <enter>.

    Using Worksheets 6
    Copying Data to a New Worksheet
    We can copy the information in Doug’s worksheet to a new worksheet and then
    modify it for the second employee.

    1 Click on the SELECT ALL button


    which is the blank rectangle at the
    top of the ROW headings. This
    will cause all of the cells to be
    highlighted.


    NOTE: We could just highlight the table, but SELECT ALL is easier.

    2 Click on the COPY icon in the


    CLIPBOARD group of the HOME
    tab in the RIBBON to copy the
    cells.

    NOTE: You can also press CTRL+C to copy cells.

    into the blank worksheet.

    NOTE: You can also press CTRL+V to paste cells.

    Normal Rate: 15
