Excel#http://bhagyashreecomputerseducation.weebly.com/

Codenamed Odyssey, Excel is a software program capable of creating and editing spreadsheets that are saved with a .xls file extension. For example, with a spreadsheet you could create your own payroll, balance your check book, organize a large amount of data in an easy to read format, and much more. This is done by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing the values in the spreadsheet to view overall totals and create graphs based on that data.Unlike a word processor such as Microsoft Word, the Excel documents are created with several hundred columns and rows that break down to several thousand cells. These can be modified by color, number format, size, fonts, layout, and thousands of additional available options. In the picture below, is an example of Microsoft Excel.

Top 10 keyboard shortcuts everyone should knowUsing keyboard shortcuts can greatly increase your productivity, reduce repetitive strain, and help keep you focused. For example, to copy text you can highlight text and press the Ctrl + C shortcut. The shortcut is faster than moving your hands from the keyboard, highlighting with the mouse, choosing copy from the file menu, and then returning to the keyboard. Below are the top 10 keyboard shortcuts we recommend everyone memorize and use.Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert and Ctrl + X

Both Ctrl + C and Ctrl + Insert will copy the highlighted text or selected item. If you want to cut instead of copy press Ctrl + X.Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert


Both the Ctrl + V and Shift + Insert will paste the text or object that's in the clipboard.

Pressing Ctrl + Z will Undo any change. For example, if you cut text, pressing this will undo it. These shortcuts can also be pressed multiple times to undo or redo multiple changes. Pressing Ctrl + Y would redo the undo.

Use the above text input field to highlight some or all of the text and then press Ctrl + X to cut the text. Once the text has disappeared press the Ctrl + Z to undo the cut.Tip: If you did the first example as well (cut and paste text) if you continue to press Ctrl + Z it is also going to undo that change.Ctrl + F

Pressing Ctrl + F opens the Find in any program. Ctrl + F includes your Internet browserto find text on the current page. Press Ctrl + F now to open the Find in your browser and search for "shortcut" to find each time shortcut is mentioned on this page.Alt + Tab or Ctrl + Tab

For example, if you have multiple tabs open in your browser now press Ctrl + Tab to switch between open tabs.Tip: Adding the Shift key to Alt + Tab or Ctrl + Tab moves backward. For example, if you are pressing Alt + Tab and pass the program you want to use, pressAlt + Shift + Tab to move back to that program.Tip: Windows Vista and 7 users can also press the Windows Key + Tab to switch through open programs in a full screenshot of the window.Ctrl + Back space and Ctrl + Left or Right arrow

What are the F1 through F12 keys?Commonly known as function keys on a computer keyboard, F1 through F12 may have a variety of different uses or no use at all. The operating system


installed on the computer and the software program currently open can change how each of these keys operate. A program is capable of not only using each of the function keys, but also combining the function keys with the ALT or CTRL key. For example, Microsoft Windows users can press ALT + F4 to close the program currently active.

Note: Some keyboards include additional functions on the function keys, which can be activated by pressing the FN key, usually located near the CTRL key, and the appropriate function key. The additional functions available with the use of the FN key will differ depending on the type and brand of keyboard being used. Please check your computer's documentation or manufacturer's website for specific details on which features are available on your keyboard function keys with the use of the FN key.Tip: Some computers may automatically enable the FN key for accessing the special functions on the F1 through F12 keys. You may be able to turn off the FN key by accessing the keyboard settings in the Control Panel.If your keyboard does not have a row of function keys, they are probably set up as secondary functions on other keys. Some laptop keyboards are set up this way to save space. They can be activated by pressing another key plus the key with the secondary F key functionality.Below is a listing of some of the more common functions of the functions keys for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft applications, as well as some for Mac OS. As mentioned above, not all programs support these function keys and the function keys on your keyboard may perform different tasks then those mentioned below.Tip: If you are looking for specific shortcut keys and function key examples, please visit our shortcut key page.F1

Shortcut keys ABCs

Shortcut keys help provide an easier and usually quicker method of navigating and executing commands in computer software programs. Shortcut keys are commonly accessed by using the Alt key (on IBM compatible computers),Command key (on Apple computers), Ctrl key, or Shift key in conjunction with another key. The de facto standard for listing a shortcut is listing the modifier key, a plus symbol, and another key. In other words, "Ctrl+S" is telling you to press and hold the Ctrl key, and then press the S key too.

You can also find the shortcut keys to their most popular program by looking for underlined letters in their menus. For example, the image to the right has an


underline on the "F" in File, which means you can press the Alt key and then the "F" key to access the File menu.Some programs require the user to press and hold Alt to see the underlined characters. In the same image above, you can see that some of the common features, such as Open (Ctrl+O) and Save (Ctrl+S), have shortcut keys assigned to them. As you begin to memorize shortcut keys, you'll notice that many applications share the same shortcut keys. We have a list of the most commonly shared ones in the basic PC shortcut keys section.Tip: Users outside the United States or who have a foreign copy of Microsoft Windows or a Microsoft application may not be able to use all of the below shortcut keys.Basic PC shortcut keys

Below is a list of some of the most commonly used basic shortcut keys that work with almost all IBM compatible computers and software programs. It is highly recommended that all users keep a good reference of these shortcut keys or try to memorize them. Doing so will dramatically increase your productivity.Tip: Besides the special character shortcuts listed here, some special characters are also located on the number keys (below the F1 - F12 keys). You can enter these special characters by pressing the Shift key and the number key that has the special character listed on it.
