Dedications

For my husband, Ted, who unselfishly continues to take on more than his share to support me throughout the process; and for my children, Laura, Carolyn, and Teddy, whose encouragement and love have been inspiring.

Mary Anne Poatsy

I dedicate this book to three people who had a significant impact on my career. Penny Sumpter, my high school business teacher, taught me about professionalism and paying attention to details; she inspired me to become a business educator. Dr. Amanda Copeland, the department chair while I completed my bachelor’s degree, was an excellent mentor and visionary. Barbra Hoge, my first department chair at Utah Valley State College, was a strong leader and advocate for her faculty; her leadership serves as a role model for me in my capacity as department chair today.

Keith Mulbery

I dedicate this book in loving memory of my grandfather Laurence L. Leggett. A passionate lifelong educator, gifted musician, and incredible role model. I will never forget our time together. I strive every day to make you proud.

Jason Davidson

To my husband Dan, whose encouragement, patience, and love helped make this endeavor possible. Thank you for taking on the many additional tasks at home so that I could focus on writing.

xvi Preface

The Exploring Series and You Exploring is Pearson’s Office Application series that requires students like you to think “beyond the point and click.” In this edition, we have worked to restructure the Exploring experience around the way you, today’s modern student, actually use your resources.

The goal of Exploring is, as it has always been, to go farther than teaching just the steps to accomplish a task—the series provides the theoretical foundation for you to understand when and why to apply a skill. As a result, you achieve a deeper understanding of each application and can apply this critical thinking beyond Office and the classroom.

The How & Why of This Revision Outcomes matter. Whether it’s getting a good grade in this course, learning how to use Excel so students can be successful in other courses, or learning a specific skill that will make learners successful in a future job, everyone has an outcome in mind. And outcomes matter. That is why we revised our chapter opener to focus on the outcomes students will achieve by working through each Exploring chapter. These are coupled with objectives and skills, providing a map students can follow to get everything they need from each chapter.

Critical Thinking and Collaboration are essential 21st century skills. Students want and need to be successful in their future careers—so we used motivating case studies to show relevance of these skills to future careers and incorporated Soft Skills, Collaboration, and Analysis Cases with Critical Thinking steps in this edition to set students up for success in the future.

Students today read, prepare, and study differently than students used to. Students use textbooks like a tool—they want to easily identify what they need to know and learn it efficiently. We have added key features such as Tasks Lists (in purple), Step Icons, Hands-On Exercise Videos, and tracked everything via page numbers that allow efficient navigation, creating a map students can easily follow.

Students are exposed to technology. The new edition of Exploring moves beyond the basics of the software at a faster pace, without sacrificing coverage of the fundamental skills that students need to know.

Students are diverse. Students can be any age, any gender, any race, with any level of ability or learning style. With this in mind, we broadened our definition of “student resources” to include physical Student Reference cards, Hands-On Exercise videos to provide a secondary lecture-like option of review; and MyITLab, the most powerful and most ADA-compliant online homework and assessment tool around with a direct 1:1 content match with the Exploring Series. Exploring will be accessible to all students, regardless of learning style.

Providing You with a Map to Success to Move Beyond the Point and Click All of these changes and additions will provide students an easy and efficient path to follow to be successful in this course, regardless of where they start at the beginning of this course. Our goal is to keep students engaged in both the hands-on and conceptual sides, helping achieve a higher level of understanding that will guarantee success in this course and in a future career.

In addition to the vision and experience of the series creator, Robert T. Grauer, we have assembled a tremendously talented team of Office Applications authors who have devoted themselves to teaching the ins and outs of Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. Led in this edition by series editor Mary Anne Poatsy, the whole team is dedicated to the Exploring mission of moving students beyond the point and click.

Preface

Key Features xvii

The How/Why Approach helps students move beyond the point and click to a true understanding of how to apply Microsoft Office skills.

• White Pages/Yellow Pages clearly distinguish the theory (white pages) from the skills covered in the Hands-On Exercises (yellow pages) so students always know what they are supposed to be doing and why.

• Case Study presents a scenario for the chapter, creating a story that ties the Hands-On Exercises together.

• Hands-On Exercise Videos are tied to each Hands-On Exercise and walk students through the steps of the exercise while weaving in conceptual information related to the Case Study and the objectives as a whole.

The Outcomes focus allows students and instructors to know the higher-level learning goals and how those are achieved through discreet objectives and skills.

• Outcomes presented at the beginning of each chapter identify the learning goals for students and instructors.

• Enhanced Objective Mapping enables students to follow a directed path through each chapter, from the objectives list at the chapter opener through the exercises at the end of the chapter. • Objectives List: This provides a simple list of key objectives covered in the chapter. This includes

page numbers so students can skip between objectives where they feel they need the most help. • Step Icons: These icons appear in the white pages and reference the step numbers in the Hands-

On Exercises, providing a correlation between the two so students can easily find conceptual help when they are working hands-on and need a refresher.

• Quick Concepts Check: A series of questions that appear briefly at the end of each white page section. These questions cover the most essential concepts in the white pages required for students to be successful in working the Hands-On Exercises. Page numbers are included for easy reference to help students locate the answers.

• Chapter Objectives Review: Appears toward the end of the chapter and reviews all important concepts throughout the chapter. Newly designed in an easy-to-read bulleted format.

• MOS Certification Guide for instructors and students to direct anyone interested in prepping for the MOS exam to the specific locations to find all content required for the test.

End-of-Chapter Exercises offer instructors several options for assessment. Each chapter has approximately 11–12 exercises ranging from multiple choice questions to open-ended projects.

• Multiple Choice, Key Terms Matching, Practice Exercises, Mid-Level Exercises, Beyond the Classroom Exercises, and Capstone Exercises appear at the end of all chapters. • Enhanced Mid-Level Exercises include a Creative Case (for PowerPoint and Word), which

allows students some flexibility and creativity, not being bound by a definitive solution, and an Analysis Case (for Excel and Access), which requires students to interpret the data they are using to answer an analytic question, as well as Discover Steps, which encourage students to use Help or to problem-solve to accomplish a task.

• Application Capstone exercises are included in the book to allow instructors to test students on the entire contents of a single application.

4 CHAPTER 1 • Office 2016 Common Features

As you become familiar with Microsoft Office, you will find that although each soft- ware application produces a specific type of output, all applications share common fea- tures. Such commonality gives a similar feel to each software application so that learning and working with Office software products is easy.

In this section, you will learn how to open an application, log in with your Microsoft account, and open and save a file. You will also learn to identify features common to Office software applications, including interface components such as the Ribbon, Backstage view, and the Quick Access Toolbar. You will experience Live Preview. You will learn how to get help with an application. You will also learn how to search for and install Office add-ins.

Starting an Office Application Microsoft Office applications are launched from the Start menu. Click the Start button, and then click the app tile for the application in which you want to work. If the applica- tion tile is not on the Start menu, you can open the program from All apps, or alterna- tively, you can click in the search box on the task bar, type the name of the program, and press Enter. The program will open automatically.

STEP 1

Getting Started with Office Applications Organizations around the world rely heavily on Microsoft Office software to produce documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and databases. Microsoft Office is a produc- tivity software suite including a set of software applications, each one specializing in a particular type of output. You can use Word to produce all sorts of documents, includ- ing memos, newsletters, forms, tables, and brochures. Excel makes it easy to organize records, financial transactions, and business information in the form of worksheets. With PowerPoint, you can create dynamic presentations to inform and persuade audi- ences. Access is a relational database software application that enables you to record and link data, query databases, and create forms and reports.

You will sometimes find that you need to use two or more Office applications to pro- duce your intended output. You might, for example, find that an annual report docu- ment you are preparing in Word for an art gallery should also include a chart of recent sales stored in Excel. You can use Excel to prepare the summary and then incorporate the worksheet in the Word document. Similarly, you can integrate Word tables and Excel charts into a PowerPoint presentation. The choice of which software applications to use really depends on what type of output you are producing. Table 1.1 describes the major tasks of the four primary applications in Microsoft Office.

TABLE 1.1 Microsoft Office Software Office 2016 Product Application Characteristics

Word Word processing software used with text to create, edit, and format documents such as letters, memos, reports, brochures, resumes, and flyers.

Excel Spreadsheet software used to store quantitative data and to perform accurate and rapid calculations with results ranging from simple budgets to financial and statistical analyses.

PowerPoint Presentation graphics software used to create slide shows for presentation by a speaker, to be published as part of a website, or to run as a stand-alone application on a computer kiosk.

Access

Relational database software used to store data and convert it into information. Database software is used primarily for decision making by businesses that compile data from multiple records stored in tables to produce informative reports.

Change Your Microsoft Account Although you can log in to Windows as a local network user, you can also log in using a Microsoft account. When you have a Microsoft account, you can sign in to any Windows computer and you will be able to access the saved settings associated with your Microsoft account. That means the computer will have the same familiar look that you are used to seeing on other computers and devices. Your Microsoft account will automatically sign in to all of the apps and services that use a Microsoft account as the authentication. You can also save your sign-in credentials for other websites that you frequently visit. If you share your computer with another user, each user can have access to his own Microsoft account; you can easily switch between accounts so you can access your own files.

To switch between accounts in an application such as Word, complete the following steps:

1. Click the profile name at the top-right of the application. 2. Select Switch account. Select an account from the list, if the account has already been

added to the computer, or add a new account.

Logging in with your Microsoft account also provides additional benefits such as being connected to all of Microsoft’s resources on the Internet. These resources include a free Outlook email account and access to OneDrive cloud storage. Cloud storage is a technology used to store files and to work with programs that are stored in a central loca- tion on the Internet. OneDrive is an app used to store, access, and share files and folders. It is accessible using an installed desktop app or as cloud storage using a Web address. For Office applications, OneDrive is the default location for saving files. Documents saved in OneDrive are accessible from any computer that has an Internet connection. As long as the document has been saved in OneDrive, the most recent version of the document will be accessible when you log in from any computer connected to the Internet. Moreover, files and folders stored on the computer’s hard drive or saved on a portable storage device can be synced with those on the OneDrive account.

OneDrive enables you to collaborate with others. You can easily share your docu- ments with others or edit a document on which you are collaborating. You can even work with others simultaneously on the same document.

Working with Files When working with an Office application, you can begin by opening an existing file that has already been saved to a storage medium, or you can begin work on a new file. When you open an application within Office, you can select a template to use as you begin work- ing on a new file.

Create a New File After opening an Office application, such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, you will be pre- sented with template choices. Click Blank document (workbook, presentation, etc.) to start a new blank file. Perhaps you are already working with a document in an Office application but want to create a new file.

To create a new Office file, complete the following steps:

1. Click the File tab and click New. 2. Click Blank.

6 CHAPTER 1

Open a File You will often work with a file, save it, and then continue the project at a later time. To open an existing file, you can click a location such as This PC or OneDrive and navi- gate to the folder or drive where your document is stored. Once you make your way to the file to be opened, double-click the file name to open the file (see Figure 1.2).

To open a file, complete the following steps:

1. Open the application. 2. Click Open Other Documents (Workbooks, etc.). 3. Click the location for your file (such as This PC or OneDrive). 4. Navigate to the folder or drive and double-click the file to open it.

STEP 2

Open dialog box

FIGURE 1.2 The Open Dialog Box

Office simplifies the task of reopening the file by providing a Recent documents list with links to your most recently opened files. Previously saved files, such as the data files for this book, are available in the Recent documents list, shown in Figure 1.3. If you just opened the application, the recent list displays at the left. If you do not see your file listed, you can click the link to Open Other Documents (or Workbooks, Presentations, etc.)

To access the Recent documents list, complete the following steps:

1. Open the application. 2. Click any file listed in the Recent documents list to open that document.

The list constantly changes to reflect only the most recently opened files, so if it has been quite some time since you worked with a particular file, you might have to browse for your file instead of using the Recent documents list to open the file.

TIP: KEEPING FILES ON THE RECENT DOCUMENTS LIST The Recent documents list displays a limited list of only the most recently opened files. You might, however, want to keep a particular file in the list regardless of how recently it was opened. In Figure 1.3, note that the Pin this item to the list icon displays to the right of each file. Click the icon to pin the file to the list. At that point, you will always have access to the file by clicking the File tab and selecting the file from the Recent documents list. The pushpin of the “permanent” file will change direction so that it appears to be inserted, indicating that it is a pinned item. If later you want to remove the file from the list, click the inserted pushpin, changing its direction and allowing the file to be bumped off the list when other, more recently opened, files take its place.

Pin this item to the list

Recent documents list

FIGURE 1.3 Recent Documents List

Save a File Saving a file enables you to later open it for additional updates or reference. Files are saved to a storage medium such as a hard drive, CD, flash drive, or to the cloud on OneDrive.

The first time that you save a file, you should indicate where the file will be saved and assign a file name. Of course, you will want to save the file in an appropriately named folder so that you can find it easily later. Thereafter, you can quickly save the file with the same settings, or you can change one or more of those settings, perhaps saving the file to a different storage device as a backup copy. Figure 1.4 shows a typical Save As pane for Office that enables you to select a location before saving the file.

It is easy to save a previously saved file with its current name and file location; click the Save icon on Quick Access Toolbar. There are instances where you may want to rename the file or save it to a different location. For example, you might reuse an event flyer for another event and simply update some of the details for the new event.

FIGURE 1.4 Save As in Backstage View

As previously mentioned, signing in to your Microsoft account enables you to save files to OneDrive and access them from virtually anywhere. To save a file to your OneDrive account follow the same steps as saving a file to your hard drive but select OneDrive and then the desired storage location on your OneDrive. You must be connected to the Internet in order to complete this action.

Using Common Interface Components When you open any Office application you will first notice the title bar and Ribbon. The title bar identifies the current file name and the application in which you are working. It also includes Ribbon display options and control buttons that enable you to mini- mize, restore down, or close the application window (see Figure 1.5). The Quick Access Toolbar, on the left side of the title bar, enables you to save the file, and undo or redo edit- ing. Located just below the title bar is the Ribbon. The Ribbon is the command center of Office applications. It is the long bar located just beneath the title bar, containing tabs, groups, and commands.

Office applications enable you to work with objects such as images, shapes, charts, and tables. When you include such objects in a project, they are considered separate components that you can manage independently. To work with an object, you must select it. When you select an object, the Ribbon is modified to include one or more contextual tabs that contain groups of commands related to the selected object. Figure 1.7 shows a contextual tab related to a selected picture in a Word document. When you click away from the selected object, the contextual tab disappears.

The File tab provides access to Backstage view which contains Save and Print, as well as additional functions. Other tabs on the Ribbon enable you to modify a file. The active tab in Figure 1.6 is the Home tab.

10 CHAPTER 1

On each tab, the Ribbon displays several task-oriented groups, with each group containing related commands. A group is a subset of a tab that organizes similar tasks together. A command is a button or area within a group that you click to perform tasks. Office is designed to provide the most functionality possible with the fewest clicks. For that reason, the Home tab, displayed when you first open a document in an Office soft- ware application, contains groups and commands that are most commonly used. For example, because you often want to change the way text is displayed, the Home tab in each Office application includes a Font group with commands related to modifying text. Similarly, other tabs contain groups of related actions, or commands, many of which are unique to the particular Office application.

Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Access all share a similar Ribbon structure. Although the specific tabs, groups, and commands vary among the Office programs, the way in which you use the Ribbon and the descriptive nature of tab titles is the same regardless of which program you are using. For example, if you want to insert a chart in Excel, a header in Word, or a shape in PowerPoint, you will click the Insert tab in any of those programs. The first thing that you should do as you begin to work with an Office applica- tion is to study the Ribbon. Take a look at all tabs and their contents. That way, you will have a good idea of where to find specific commands and how the Ribbon with which you are currently working differs from one that you might have used in another application.

If you are working with a large project, you can maximize your workspace by tempo- rarily hiding the Ribbon.

To hide the Ribbon, complete one of the following steps:

Double-click the active tab to hide the Ribbon. Click Collapse the Ribbon (refer to Figure 1.6), located at the right side of the Ribbon.

To unhide the Ribbon, double-click any tab to redisplay the Ribbon. Some actions do not display on the Ribbon because they are not as commonly used,

but are related to commands displayed on the Ribbon. For example, you might want to change the background of a PowerPoint slide to include a picture. In that case, you will work with a dialog box that provides access to more precise, but less frequently used, commands. Figure 1.8 shows the Font dialog box in Word. Some commands display a dialog box when they are clicked. Other Ribbon groups include a Dialog Box Launcher

that, when clicked, opens a corresponding dialog box (see Figure 1.8).

TIP: GETTING HELP WITH DIALOG BOXES Getting help while you are working with a dialog box is easy. Click the Help button that displays as a question mark in the top-right corner of the dialog box. The subsequent Help window will offer suggestions relevant to your task.

Common Features 2016 11

The Ribbon contains many selections and commands, but some selections are too numerous to include in the Ribbon’s limited space. For example, Word provides far more text styles than it can easily display at once, so additional styles are available in a gal- lery. A gallery also provides a choice of Excel chart styles and PowerPoint transitions. Figure 1.9 shows an example of a PowerPoint Themes gallery. Most often, you can dis- play a gallery of additional choices by clicking the More button (refer to Figure 1.6) that is found in some Ribbon selections.

12 CHAPTER 1

Shortcut menu

FIGURE 1.10 A Shortcut Menu in PowerPoint

When editing a document, worksheet, or presentation, it is helpful to see the results of formatting changes before you make final selections. The feature that displays a pre- view of the results of a selection is called Live Preview. You might, for example, be con- sidering modifying the color of an image in a document or worksheet. As you place the pointer over a color selection in a Ribbon gallery or group, the selected image will tempo- rarily display the color to which you are pointing. Similarly, you can get a preview of how color designs would display on PowerPoint slides by pointing to specific themes in the PowerPoint Themes group and noting the effect on a displayed slide. When you click the item, such as the font color, the selection is applied. Live Preview is available in various Ribbon selections among the Office applications.

Use a Shortcut Menu In Office, you can usually accomplish the same task in several ways. Although the Ribbon provides ample access to formatting and Clipboard commands (such as Cut, Copy, and Paste), you might find it convenient to access the same commands on a shortcut menu. A shortcut menu provides choices related to the object, selection, or area of the document at which you right-click, such as the one shown in Figure 1.10. A shortcut menu is also called a context menu because the contents of the menu vary depending on the location at which you right-clicked.

STEP 4

Use Keyboard Shortcuts You might find that you prefer to use keyboard shortcuts, which are keyboard equivalents for software commands, when they are available. Universal keyboard shortcuts in Office include Ctrl+C (Copy), Ctrl+X (Cut), Ctrl+V (Paste), and Ctrl+Z (Undo). To move to the beginning of a Word document, to cell A1 in Excel, or to the first PowerPoint slide, press Ctrl+Home. To move to the end of those items, press Ctrl+End. There are many other key- board shortcuts. To discover a keyboard shortcut for a commonly used command, press

Alt to display Key Tips for commands available on the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar. You can press the letter or number corresponding to Ribbon commands to invoke the action from the keyboard. Press Alt again to remove the Key Tips.

TIP: USING RIBBON COMMANDS WITH ARROWS Some commands, such as Paste in the Clipboard group, contain two parts: the main command and an arrow. The arrow may be below or to the right of the command, depending on the command, window size, or screen resolution. Instructions in the Exploring series use the command name to instruct you to click the main command to perform the default action (e.g., Click Paste). Instructions include the word arrow when you need to select the arrow to access an additional option (e.g., Click the Paste arrow).
