Images and text boxes can be shaped into more than just a square that we start with, as PowerPoint allows for custom shapes. This guide will show the steps required first generate a shape and then to edit it.
Below is a list of PowerPoint guides currently available. If however, you have a need for a tutorial that doesn't exist yet then please email ITSkills@chi.ac.uk to request it.
This guide will show you the several types of views available within Microsoft Word that will be able to help you view your document the way you'd like to.
Word has several different ways you can view documents:
Pivot tables can be used for many things however their best function is served by collating data for you. This is easier to create when the data is presented in log format. What we mean by this is that you should log each transaction individually and not auto-sum or total anything as it will be done by the Pivot table for us.
an example of a log entry with sales data could be:
Captions are useful for providing context to images, charts, and other illustrations in your document. A table of figures helps readers navigate these elements quickly by creating a table with all 'captions' in it as well as their page number. Captions can also be used to create a table of tables or a table of equations too, by changing the 'label' when inserting a caption, or inserting the table.
Page numbering happens in the headers or footer of the document, making use of section breaks to indicate where page numbering will and will not be present. This guide will focus on adding page numbers from the beginning but will cover their usage afterwards.
Word has a feature that allows users to automatically generate an automatic table of contents, assuming that heading styles have been used. This table of contents supports different levels of indentation to highlight chapters and sub-chapters of the document itself.
Styles can be quickly used to apply a formatting choice over a large area of a document. All text is initially created under the Normal style and will remain in this style unless Word is told otherwise. You can modify any existing style or create your own if there is not a pre-existing option similar to what you require. Creating or modifying a Style allows you to choose all formatting; The font, size, colour and paragraph settings.
Create a chart
Select the data for which you want to create a chart.
If functions are used when we want to specify a criteria to limit our function to. For instance, if we were interested in values above a certain amount we could use =countIf in order to count the number of the values in a range, that are above a certain value. There are multiple different functions that can use IF's. These include:
=SumIF
=CountIF
=averageIF
