INTRODUCTION
DOS is an Operating System. It works as an interpreter between user and computer.
We give English like commands and it converts it into machine language and after
the computer has processed the information, returns the results to you in English. Ms.
Dos consist of four essential programs and a set of additional utilities.
Components of MS-DOSMS-DOS consists of four essentials programs and a set of additional
utilities. Four main programs are
Boot Record MSDOS.SYST
IO.SYS COMMAND.COM
FEATURES OF MS-DOS It is a single user operating system and is a command user interface (CUI). It
interprets commands typed on the DOS mode.
Standardization and openness of MS-DOS architecture has greatly benefitedsoftware and hardware developers.
Very good file, client and Print server options.
It has a scandiskutility that helps to detect, diagnose and repair disk errors.
It has the ability to bypass some startup commands when the user switches on
the computer.
The tree command helps to show a graphical representation of all files and
directories present in the system or a particular directory or sub-directory.
It has a facility of memory management. We can manage the memory
requirement using the memmaker command.
User can create, remove and change from one directory to another using md,rd and cd commands respectively.
The systems settings can be changed by making appropriate changes in
CONFIG.SYS file.
Using date and time commands the user can modify the systems date and
time as per his requirements.
It gives full information of files, directories and sub directories in the selected
files using the command like dir.
With the help of DIR and TYPE command it can display the computed
information of all the directories, subdirectories and files respectively.

MS-DOS provides HELP facility which provides references about any MS-
DOS commands. To check the help for any particular command we have to
type the Command Name.
The BACKUP command helps to back up the data by restoring the data which
has been stored by this command.
When the computer starts, the systems memory is automatically tested by
HIMEM extended memory management facility.
INTERNAL COMMAND
There are also called memory-resident commands. These commands are automatically
loaded into the computers memory during the booting process. They
actually included in the Command.com file. So these commands are executable
immediately after getting the dos prompt.
A few internal commands are
01. VER
02. VOL
03 DATE
04. TIME
05. CLS
06. DIR
07. MD
08. CD
09. PATH
10. RD
11. COPY CON
12. TYPE
13. COPY
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs

Some commonly used internal commands are:
MDThis command is introduced in version 2.0. It is also known as MKDIRcommand.
The purpose of this command is to create a new directory or sub-directory i.e.
subordinate to the currently logged directory.
Syntax: C :\> MD\ DIRECTORY NAME
C :\> MD\ SUB-DIRECTORY NAME
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
8/59
CDThis command is also called CHDIR command and it was introduced in 2.0 versions.
The purpose of this command is to change from one directory or sub-directory to
another directory or sub-directory.
Syntax: C :\> CD PARENT DIRECTORY
C :\> CD SUB -DIRECTORY
C :\> CD..
Example:
C:\Documents and settings\Guest>md Anuj
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
9/59
C:\Documents and settings\Guest>cd Anuj
In the above example, MD command is used to make directory i.e. ANUJ. In next
step, the CD command is used to change the directory to ANUJ. By using the CD..
command the user can move to the parent directory.
RD
This is also called as RMDIR command. It was introduced in 2.0 versions. The
purpose of this command is to remove directory or subdirectory.
Syntax: C :\> RD ROOT DIRECTORY
C :\> RD SUB-DIRECTORY
COPY CON
The purpose of this command is to create a file. File created by the command cannot
be modified. If user will try to modify the contents of the file using copy con, it will
display a message
File already exists. Overwrite it (Y/N)?
File name should not be greater than 11 characters, out of which 8 characters are for
file name and 3 characters for the extension.
DEL
The purpose of this command is to delete a single file. Also, a user can delete multiple
files by using this command with wildcards.
Syntax: C :\> DEL Filename.exe
C :\> DEL *.*
C :\> DEL *.txt
Example:
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
10/59
In this example, XYZ is the main directory and PQR is its subdirectory which
contains the file ANUJ. The file is created using the command COPY CON. To
remove the directory, it is important to delete all the files of the subdirectory (which is
done b using the DEL command). After deleting the files from PQR, user should go tothe sub directory and then remove the subdirectory. By typing CD.. the user goes to
the main directory and by typing the RD command, the main directory XYZ is
removed.
DATE
The purpose of this command is to display the current date of the system as already
fed in the computer system.
Syntax: C :\> DATE
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
11/59
VER
It displays the version of DOS being used currently.
Syntax: C :\> VER
VOL
The purpose of this command is to display the volume label or name of the volume
given by the user to the specified disk. The VOL command is used to check the name
of the volume which user has entered either by an external command LABEL or
FORMAT.
Syntax: C :\> VOL drive name
TIME
The purpose of this command is to display the current time of the system as already
feed in the system.
Syntax: C :\> TIME
Example:
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
12/59
By using the DATE command, the current date can be seen and also it can be changed
if needed. The VER command displays the version of DOS that is currently being
used. The VOL command is used to display the Volume name of the drive specified.
As the drive has no label, therefore the label can be inserted by using the external
command LABLE.
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
13/59
REN
The purpose of this command is to rename an old file name with a new file name.
Syntax: C :\> REN old file name new file name
Example:
C:\raj>cd..
C:\>ren raj ritu
C:\>cd ritu
C:\ritu>
In the above example, file RAJ is renamed as RITU. And by applying the CD
command the user can work in the file RITU.
CLS
The purpose of this command is to clear the display screen and redisplay the DOS
prompt at the upper left corner of the screen. The application of CLS command is to
remove unwanted clutter from the display screen or to start DOS command prompt at
the top of the screen.
Syntax: C :\> CLS
Example:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Admin>CD..
C:\Users>CD..
C:\>CLS
After typing the CLS command when the enter button is pressed to execute the
command then all the information on the screen is cleared and the DOS prompt is
displayed as follows:
C:\>

DIR
It stands for directory listing. It is used to display all the files and sub directories
stored in the directory along with their size in bytes, the date and time when they were
created.
Syntax: C :\> DIR[drive:][path][filename]/switches
/P Pauses after each screen of information
/W Uses wide list format
/A Displays files with specified attributes
Attributes D Directories
S System files
H Hidden files
R Read-only fil
A Files ready for archiving
S Displays files in specified directory and all subdirectories
Example:

TYPE
This command is used to display the contents of a file on the screen and optionally on
printer too. The contents of long files move up so rapidly that it is difficult to read
them. Then we use filter command more with it. Wild cards characters are not
allowed in the filename.
Syntax: C :\> type filename. extension

Some of the well-known versions of Windows have included: Windows is a personal
computeroperating systemfrom Microsoft that, together with some commonly used
business applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel, has become a de facto
"standard" for individual users in most corporations as well as in most homes.
The original 1985 version of Windows introduced to home and business PC users
many of the graphical user interface (GUI) ideas that were developed at an
experimental lab at Xerox and introduced commercially by Apple's Lisa
andMacintosh computers.

DESKTOP:
Desktop refers to the main background area (in our example the white area).
You can customise your desktop in various ways, including adding a
background picture, changing the background colour, and changing the size of
the icons on the desktop. The Desktop offers many features that make using
your computer easier. You can easily start programs or applications, copy andmove files from one place to another and drag and drop files and program
where you want them on the computer or even on to a program's icon to open
a file. Open and Save menus are streamlined to allow all applications to have
the same basic features plus program specific features.

Minimise button
Figure 1. Minimise window button
If you are still working in a window but do not need to look at it while you work in
another window you can click on the 'minimise button' and the window will thenappear as button in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. When you want to work in
the window again you can click on the relevant button in the task bar to restore the
window.

Figure 2. Restore window at a reduced size button
Figure 3. Restore window at full size button
When you are working in a window at full size (see figure. 1) you may decide to
reduce the size so you can work in another window at the same time. You can reduce
the size by clicking on the 'restore button' this will reduce the size of the window (see
figure. 2). If you require the window any smaller you can place the mouse cursor at
the edge of the screen when it changes from a white arrow to a double headed black
arrow you can drag the edges of the window to the size you require. When you wantto return the window to full screen size click on the 'restore button'

INTRODUCTION
There are many software packages to do the job of word processing. Some of
them work in DOS environment. Example are WordStar, Word Perfect and
Professional Write. But in these days working in WINDOWS is becoming more and
more popular. So let us consider software for word processing which works inWINDOWS. Our choice is MS-WORD because it is the most popular software in
these days.
MS-WORD is a part of the bigger package called MS OFFICE, which can do much
more than word processing. In fact when you open up MS OFFICE you will find four
main components in it. They are MS-WORD (for word processing), MS EXCEL (for
spreadsheet), MS ACCESS (for database management) and MS POWERPOINT (for
presentation purposes). However, we will limit ourselves to MS-WORD only in this
lesson.
WHAT IS WORD-PROCESSING?
Word Processor is a Software package that enables you to create, edit, print and save
documents for future retrieval and reference. Creating a document involves typing by
using a keyboard and saving it. Editing a document involves correcting the spelling
mistakes, if any, deleting or moving words sentences or paragraphs.
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
27/59
IMPORTANT FEATURES OF MS-WORD
Ms-Word not only supports word processing features but also DTP features. Some of
the important features of Ms-Word are listed below:
i. Using word you can create the document and edit them later, as and when
required, by adding more text, modifying the existing text, deleting/moving
some part of it.
ii. Changing the size of the margins can reformat complete document or part of
text.
iii. Font size and type of fonts can also be changed. Page numbers and Header and
Footer can be included.
iv. Spelling can be checked and correction can be made automatically in theentire document. Word count and other statistics can be generated.
v. Text can be formatted in columnar style as we see in the newspaper. Text
boxes can be made.
vi. Tables can be made and included in the text.
vii. Word also allows the user to mix the graphical pictures with the text.
Graphical pictures can either be created in word itself or can be imported from
outside like from Clip Art Gallery.
viii. Word also provides the mail-merge facility.
ix. Word also has the facility of macros. Macros can be either attached to some
function/special keys or to a tool bar or to a menu.
x. It also provides online help of any option.

OPENING A FILE:
To open a file in document in MS WORD,follow the various steps:
From the File menu, clickOpen:
The Open dialogue box appears, and looks like the image below:
The Open dialogue box looks very similar to the Save As dialogue box. "Save in",
"File name", and "Files of type" work in exactly the same way as the Save As
dialogue box. Notice, though that the File name text box is blank, and the Open button
is not available. It has been greyed out.
The reason that the Open button is greyed out, and therefore not available, is that textbox is empty. Once you select a file, the Open button will be ready for us.
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
29/59
But the text box is empty because no file has been selected. A file is selected from the
larger white area in the middle. Clicking on the file once with the left hand mouse
button will select a file. In the previous image, there was only one file available for
selection - a document called "rrKeyCaps.doc". That is not the one we want.
To locate the file we want, we need to open the folder called "My WP Projects".Because that's where we saved it. You can see from the image that this folder is in the
list of folders, just below the folder called My Pictures:
You can see also that we are in the folder called My Documents. To open up the
folder we want, simply double click it. This will take us inside the My WP Projects:
The whole Open dialogue box now looks like this:
The file we want, Library Letter, has been clicked on. As a result, the Open button is
no longer greyed out. We can go ahead and click it. When we do, our letter will openin Microsoft Word.

2)CLOSING THE DOCUMENT
When you finish working with a document, you would like to close it. Closing a
document removes it from your computer screen and if you had other documents
open, Word displays the last document you used otherwise, you see a blank Word
window. Here are simple steps to close an opened document:
Step (1):Click the File tab and select Close option.
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
31/59
Step (2): When you select Close option and if document is not saved before closing,
it will display following Warning box asking whether the document should be saved
of not.
Step (3): Now its upto you if you want to save the changes, then clickSave,otherwise clickDon't Save button. To go back to the document clickCancel button.

3)Saving New Document:
Once you are done with typing in your new word document, it is time to save your
document to avoid losing work you have done on a Word document. Following are
the steps to save an edited word document:
Step (1): Click the File tab and select Save As option.
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
33/59
Step (2): Select a folder where you would like to save the document, Enter file namewhich you want to give to your document and Select a Save as type, by default it
is .docx format.
Step (3): Finally, click on Save button and your document will be saved with theentered name in the selected folder.

Saving New Changes:
There may be a situation when you open an existing document and edit it partially or
completely, or even you would like to save the changes in between editing of the
document. If you want to save this document with the same name then you can use
either of the following simple options:
1. Just press Ctrl + S keys to save the changes.
2. Optionally you can click on the floppy icon available at the top left corner andjust above the File tab. This option will also save the changes.
3. You can also use third method to save the changes, which is Save option
available just above the Save As option as shown in the above screen capture.
If your document is new and it was never saved so far, then with either of the three
options, word would display you a dialogue box to let you select a folder, and enter
document name as explained in case of saving new document.

MERGE
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
36/59
Mail merge
Many businesses and organizations communicate with their clients through letters,
commercial notes that are sent to all the clients through a distribution list. For
example, SystemPlus could send a letter to all the members of their distribution list in
order to advertise their new educational services.
Word offers us the possibility to create group letters that have the standard body of
message and different personal information for each recipient.
This function is named Mail Merge. The Mail Merge function uses the following
two elements:
The Main Document, which is consisted of all the text and all the other objects thatwe want to be repeated in every letter or document in order to be created.
The Data Source, which contains all the recipients personal information, meaning
the elements that will be changing in every letter or label. For example, the name,
address, the post code and etc.
All the information that considers a certain recipient is named a Data Record. In
every record, isolated information in the data source, for example the name or
surname are named field.
The steps that we should follow in order to create collective letters with the Mail
Merge function are the following: To create or open the Main Document.
http://officesmart.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/001.jpg8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
37/59
To create or open the Data Source file.
To select the fields that will be contained in the letters.
To merge the data source file with the contents of the letter, in order to create
the unique letter for each recipient.
Creating the Main Document
As mentioned above, in order to start the Mail Merge Function, we should create a
New Blank Document. We create the blank document and then we type in the content
of the main document leaving five empty lines in the beginning of the document.

Since we have typed our text, we choose the Mailings Tab and from the area of theribbon named Start Mail Merge we select the command Start Mail Merge and from
the drop down menu we select the command Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard.
Once selected the Mail Merge task pane appears at the right of our screen. We select
the sort of main document we are going to use, which in our case is Letters. At the
bottom of the task pane we notice that we are at the First Step of the wizard which is
name Select Document Type.

From the moment that we have selected what sort of document we are going to use we
select the to move on to the second step of the Wizard which is named Next: Starting
Document as we can see in the image below.
http://officesmart.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/029.jpg8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
39/59
Now, that we are at the Second Step of the Wizard, we have to define whichdocument we are going to use as our Main Document.
Since we have already typed our document, we make sure that the check box is on at
the left of the command Use Current Document. If we hadnt opened our document,
but we had created it before and saved it on our computer, we would have to select the
check box next to the command Start From Existing Document, and then from
the Open window we would had to navigate in order to find the appropriatedocument. One way or the other, once we have the Main Document opened, we
should move on to the Third Step of the Wizard which is named Next: Select
Recipients.
Typing A New List
Once we have the Main Document ready, the next step is to create our Data Source
File. In a few words, to create all the elements that will be shown in our letter. The
Data Source can either be saved in an Access database, a Word document, or even an
Excel file.
The data that considers a certain recipient of a data source is one source record.

The first line is named Heading Line, and the different information for each recipient
is namedfield.This is an example of a data source consisting three records.

The steps that we have to follow in order to create our data source are the following:
In the third step of the wizard, in the area Select Recipients we activate the check box
next to the command Type A New List. A new command appears in the area of the
wizard which is namedCreate and is found in the area Type A New List, as we can
see in the image below.

By selecting the Create command, the New Address List window appears as shown
below.

42/59
If we want, we could adjust the Heading Lines that we want to appear in our list. For
example, we could define that we dont want the field Title to appear. In order to dothat we must select the command Customize Columns, where the Customize
AddressList window appears as we can see below.
We then select the name of the field that we want to remove and we pressthe Deletebutton. We could also rename a field by selecting the appropriate button.

43/59
Whatever changes we do to this data source affects only the current file. Meaning that
the next time we create a new data source all the fields will be available.
In our example, we delete the fields Title, Company, Address2, ZIP Code, Home
Phone. One by one, we select the fields and press the Delete button.
Once we have finished we press the OKbutton, in order to type in all the information
in the appropriate fields.
We type in the following information:
To move in between the different fields, we just type in the surname Rouvas in the
first field and then we press the Tab button, in order to move to the Name field and
type in the name Sakis. We follow the same procedure until we have typed in all the
information that is needed.
Once we have finished typing in all the information, the moment we pressthe OKbutton theSave Address List window appears, where we must type in the file
name we want to use and save it in the suggested folder which is named My Data
Sources. The Data Source file can be saved in any folder that we want.
Once we have save the Data Source file, the Mail Merge Recipients window
appears as shown in the image below.

44/59
In the Mail Merge Recipients window, all the information that is included in
ourData Sourcefile appears. The tick mark at the left informs us that these records
will be included in the Mail Merge. In order to exclude a record we just deactivate the
tick mark by clicking on it. With the links that we find at the bottom of the window
we can Sort, Filter, Find Duplicates, to find a recipient and to validate the address. Ifwe want to edit the Data Source file or to add a new record, we must select the Data
Source file at the left of the window, and once selected the Edit command will be
activated.
Using An Existing List
If we already had a file that has data, that we could use as a Data Source file for the
Mail Merge the steps that we would had to follow would be the same as described
above. Meaning to create our Main Document, and when we reached the Third Step
of the Wizard we should activate the Use An Existing List button and then to select
the Browse button in order to navigate and find the file that contains the data and
open it.
Adding Recipient Information
Once we have created the Main Document, we have created the Data Source file, we
should now let Word now in which part of our document we want to add the Merge
Fields. The fields that contain the personal information for each recipient. This can be
done the following way:
When we create the Data Source file, we were in the Third Step of the wizard, and
now we must select to move on to the Fourth Step of the wizard which is name Next:
Write Your Letter, as shown in the image below.
http://officesmart.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/095.jpg8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
45/59
We put our insertion point in the part of the document that we want to insert the
first Merge Field at the left of our document. Then from the task pane Wizard we
select the commandMore Items. The Insert Merge Field window appears where we
select the field that we want, in our example Name and we press the Insert button.
http://officesmart.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/101.jpg8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
46/59
The name of the Merge Fields appears in our document in between quotation marks.
With the same way we insert all the other fields and once finished we press
the Close button. In order to add empty space or paragraphs between the Merge
Fields, we must close the Insert Merge Field window every time in order to return to
the document. We add all the Merge Fields in order to look as shown below.June 29th, 2011

Once we have inserted all the Merge Fields in our document, from the task paneWizard, we select the command Next: Preview Your Letters to move on to the fifth
step of the wizard, where we can preview in our document the recipients that we had
selected. We can also exclude a recipient by selecting the appropriate button. By
pressing the double arrowed buttons, we move on to the next recipients in order to see
all the information. Once we have previewed our document, we press the Next:
Complete The Mergebutton to move on to the last step of the Wizard.

Once we have done all the steps for the Mail Merge, we have edited our recipients
we are ready to complete the Mail Merge. By Mail Merge, we merge ourMainDocument with the Data Source file in order to create one letter for each recipient.
After we complete the procedure we would be able to see our new merged document
or to send it for printing straight away.
http://officesmart.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/12.jpg8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
48/59
In order to see the results of the merging into a new document, we must select
the Edit Individual Letters command. Once pressed the Merge To New
Document window appears, where we can choose to merge all the records from theData Source file, only the Current record, or to specify which records we want.
By pressing the OKbutton, Word creates a new document with the name Letter1. In
our example our document will be consisted of 10 pages, on for each recipient. Every
page that will be created will have different information in the merged fields, but the
rest of the document will be exactly the same for all the recipients. In this point we
can edit or modify some parts of the new document for some recipients and then print
it or save it.
If we wanted to send the results of the merging to the printer, we would have pressed
thePrint button. With this way, we would have printed the results of the merging tothe printer. In this case the Merge To Printer window would appear.

DBMS

An Intrduction to Database Management Systems
A database is a collection of related files that are usually integrated, linked or cross-referenced to one another. The advantage of a database is that data and records
contained in different files can be easily organized and retrieved using specialized
database management software called a database management system (DBMS) or
database manager.
A collection ofprograms that enables you to store, modify, and extract information
from a database. There are many different types of DBMSs, ranging from
small systems that run onpersonal computers to huge systems that run
on mainframes. The re examples ofdatabase applicationsfollowing a:
computerized library systems
flight reservation system
The Advantages of a DBMS
Improved availability:One of the principle advantages of a DBMS is that the
same information can be made available to different users.
Minimized redundancy:The data in a DBMS is more concise because, as ageneral rule, the information in it appears just once. This reduces data redundancy, or
in other words, the need to repeat the same data over and over again.
Accuracy: Accurate, consistent, and up-to-date data is a sign of data integrity.DBMSs foster data integrity because updates and changes to the data only have to be
made in one place.
Program and file consistency:Using a database management system, fileformats and system programs are standardized. This makes the data files easier to
maintain because the same rules and guidelines apply across all types of data. The
level of consistency across files and programs also makes it easier to manage data
when multiple programmers are involved.
User-friendly:Data is easier to access and manipulate with a DBMS than withoutit. In most cases, DBMSs also reduce the reliance of individual users on computer
specialists to meet their data needs.

Improved security: As stated earlier, DBMSs allow multiple users to access thesame data resources. This capability is generally viewed as a benefit, but there are
potential risks for the organization. Some sources of information should be protected
or secured and only viewed by select individuals. Through the use of passwords,
database management systems can be used to restrict data access to only those who
should see it.
The Disadvantages of a DBMS
There are basically two major downsides to using DBMSs. One of these is cost, and
the other the threat to data security.
Cost:Implementing a DBMS system can be expensive and time-consuming,
especially in large organizations. Training requirements alone can be quite costly.
Security:Even with safeguards in place, it may be possible for some unauthorizedusers to access the database. In general, database access is an all or nothing
proposition. Once an unauthorized user gets into the database, they have access to all
the files, not just a few. Depending on the nature of the data involved, these breaches
in security can also pose a threat to individual privacy. Steps should also be taken to
regularly make backup copies of the database files and store them because of the
possibility of fires and earthquakes that might destroy the system.

MS EXCEL

INTRODUCTION TO SPREADSHEET
A spreadsheet is simply a grid of boxes, or cells, set up in rows and columns.
Every cell has a unique address, corresponding to its row and column location.For example, the cell in the first column and first row is A1. The cell in the
third column and four row would be C4. The computer can find its way
around the spreadsheet by using those addresses, and perform functions on the
numbers you enter in those cells.
It sounds complicated, but it's not. Here is a typical blank spreadsheet grid:
Basically, we can use this grid to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers.
We can do percentages. Columns or rows can be sorted alphabetically, or
numerically. That makes a spreadsheet a powerful tool that will make your life
easier whenever you must deal with large blocks of information or numbers.

Entering data
To keep things simple, we're going to look at a spreadsheet with just a few
columns and rows. With Excel Version 7, you actually have 16,000 rows and
columns to play with.
To enter a number or other information, just click in a cell with your left
mouse. Let's start in cell A3 with some data from the Roseland municipal
budget:
As you can see, the cell is not large enough to fit the words. But we can make
the columns larger by moving the mouse to the line between columns.
You then click and hold on the line and drag it out to make it larger :
Now go to cell B3 and enter numbers the same way. Don't worry about putting
in commas, percent signs or currency signs. We can format the whole column
after we're finished:
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
56/59
Formatting Data
To format the column, click on the column header, which in this case is the
grey square with a B at the top. Click in the square with your left mouse
button and the entire column will be highlighted. Then go to the top of the tool
bar and click on Format, then click on Cells in the submenu, and click on
Number to format the numbers in the cells. Here, we will click on Currency
within the numbers submenu to put dollar signs and commas in the appropriate
places:
Once we do that, however, you see something has happened to the cells: You
get a #### in some of the cells. That's the program's way of telling you the
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs
57/59
column isn't wide enough. To fix it, click and drag on the | between B and C
like we did earlier, and widen the column again.
Now let's add another column of numbers, again by simply clicking in the celland working down. We already have the 1997 budget figures. Let's enter the
1996 numbers as a comparison:
8/22/2019 A Project Ospcs

Calculating Changes
Here's where we put the program to work. If you wanted to, you could take a
calculator and add up those columns yourself. You could then subtract the
difference between the two years of figures in each column, and get an idea of
where expenses are heading.
With Excel, the program will do it for you. Start by adding up each column.
Click in cell B9. What we want to do is tell the program what numbers to add
up. In Excel, we tell the computer we are about to enter a formula by starting
with an = sign. Remember, every cell has a unique address. We want to add up
cells B3, B4, and all the way to B8. We could do that by entering the
formula=B3+B4+B5+B6+B7+B8. That will work, but it means entering a lot
of numbers and the whole point of this program is to save us work. So we can
tell the program to simply add up the column by
entering =SUM(B3:B8) Another shortcut, and we love shortcuts, is to click on
the bottom of the column and then click on the Sigma, orSummation sign in
the top toolbar. That will enter the formula for you. Just make sure there isn't a
data at the top of the column, or the date will be added to your total.
