9. Menu’s, Toolbars, & Shortcuts
In this section, you will learn about the three main
methods of issuing commands in a program:
♦ Menus,
♦ Toolbars,
♦ Shortcut menus.
10. Application & Shortcuts
♦ Application Menu
Each program has a row of menu
names directly under the
program's title bar at the top of
the screen.
♦ Taking a Shortcut
Some commands have a key
combination listed next to them
(such as Ctrl+X for Cut).
♦ BIC VXZ
11. Unavailable, Icons, & Ellipsis
♦ Unavailable Commands
Some commands appear
dimmed, such as Cut shown
here.
♦ Icon Shortcuts
Some commands have icons to
their left. These represent
toolbar buttons that serve as
alternatives to the command.
♦ Ellipsis (three dots)…
This indicates that choosing
that command will open a dialog
box. Such as Find…
12. The More Buttons Button
♦ You may often find, however, that the button you
need isn't displayed. This is usually not a problem,
since you can always access the hidden button you
need by clicking the More Buttons button.
13. Help is a click away!
• Office Help Assistant
♦ Help is provided either by clicking
HELP on the menu bar or pressing F1
on your keyboard.
Here’s another great tip:
♦ Shift + F1 over an Icon, your mouse
will turn to a “?” question mark.
Click on the icon and it will describe
what it does!
14. Drop Down Menus
♦ Depending on how
your PC is set up,

15. Saving Files in Office 2000
My Documents
♦ By default, the data files that you
create in Office programs are
stored in the folder called My
Documents.
♦ If you save all of your files to the
My Documents folder, you will not
have any trouble remembering
where you stored your files.
…right…
16. Find & Saving To Other Places
♦ If you decide to save files to different drives and
folders, you may forget where a particular file is
stored.
♦ Office 2000 and its applications include a Find
command that locates elusive files for you.
17. Save vs. Save As
♦ You will normally want to
save your work in the
default or “native” format
of the program.
♦ However you may need to
save in a different format
to share files with
someone who does not
have the same version of
Office, or make a second
working copy to preserve
the first version.
18. Save As = New Copy
♦ When you use Save As during subsequent saves, the
command actually creates a copy of the original file.
♦ By using Save As on an existing file, whether you are
saving the file under a different name, or in a different
location or format, you are creating an additional
version of the original file
19. Overview of Outlook

When you learn how to accomplish something in one program, such as opening a file or printing your work, it's only a short leap to being able to do it in other programs. You may find yourself using only one or two of the Office programs on a regular basis, but you should know a little bit about all of them so you can make an intelligent choice about which program to use for a given task. In many cases, the capabilities of various Office 2000 programs overlap, and the same job could possibly be done in any of several programs. As you become more familiar with Office 2000, you will be better able to fit the task to the program.
Choose Word whenever the dominant element is text. In Word, using the Close button closes only the active document if more than one document is open. Use Excel to create worksheets with calculated totals, to organize lists, and to make charts and graphs.
Use Publisher for text-based documents that require special formatting, such as certificates, newsletters, greeting cards, and posters.
Almost every Office program can save files in Web format, but FrontPage can tie all those saved pages together with a consistent format. For example, you can create artwork for a logo that you could use in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Publisher
If you save all of your files to the My Documents folder, you will not have any trouble remembering where you stored your files. The My Documents folder is the default storage location for all files. Chances are, however, that you will decide to save files to different drives and folders. If so, you may forget where a particular file is stored. Office 2000 and its applications include a Find command that locates elusive files for you. When you start Word or Excel , a new, blank document is created automatically for your use. By default, Word is named Document1 , and the Excel is named Book1
You will need to choose Cancel (or Exit Catalog, in the case of Publisher) to close this startup box before you can exit the program.
When working with an Office program, you will spend most of your time entering and editing data. The remainder of the time, you will issue commands to the program that tell it what to do with the data (format it, save it, print it, search it, and so on). Wherever possible, each Office program uses the same menu and toolbar commands, arranged in the same way. This helps ease the transition from one program to another. Depending on how your computer is set up, the Standard and Formatting toolbars may appear on separate lines, or together on one line. When they are on a single line, many of the buttons are not visible, and you must "scroll" through them using the More Buttons arrow at the end of the toolbar. Docked or Floating Toolbars can be either docked or floating . "Docked" means the toolbar is attached to one side of the program's window. A toolbar can also "float," which means it has its own movable box with its own title bar. To move a docked toolbar, drag it by its handle. The handle is the ridged line at the left of the toolbar. To move a floating toolbar, drag it by its title bar.
Each of these menu names, in turn, opens a menu when you click on it. From there, you can click on a command to select it. You can press a key combination (hold down the first key and tap the second one) as an alternative to opening the menu and selecting the command. Cntl+B=Bold; Cntl+I= Italics; Cntl+C=Copy; Cntl+V=Paste; Cntl+X=Cut; Cntl+Z=Undo
For example, Cut is not available because nothing has been selected yet, so there is nothing to cut. As with shortcut keys, these are not very helpful at first, because you must open the menu to see them. As you become more experienced, however, you will begin to recognize the pictures and associate them with the toolbar buttons.
To turn off the Office Help Assistant, right click on it, choose Options, Make sure the Options Tab is selected, and clear the top check box!
Personalizing Menu Choices By default, the personalized menu system is turned on. This feature may or may not be enabled on the computer that you are using, depending on how it has been set up. When personalized menus are enabled, Office 2000 keeps track of which commands you use, showing all of the commands that you have recently used as soon as the menu opens. The commands you haven't used in a while are hidden until you click the double arrow or pause for a moment. Or go to Tools/Customize/Options and clear those boxes for the hidden menus.
New Folders Once you have worked with Windows Explorer for a while, you will probably decide that you need to create some folders of your own for storing files. A folder name can contain up to 255 characters, including spaces. It cannot contain these characters: \\ / : * ? " < > | Folder names must be unique within that level of the file structure. For example, you cannot have two folders named Misc. Docs on the root directory (C:), but you can have one on C: and one within the My Documents folder (C:\\My Documents\\Misc. Docs).
Find It Some people prefer to use the Find feature in Windows rather than the one in any particular Office program. To do so, choose Find from the Start command on the taskbar, then select the Files or Folders option. Delete It To delete a file from the Save As or Open dialog box, you simply select the file and then click the Delete button, or press Delete on the keyboard. You can also right-click a file and choose Delete from the shortcut menu. New It To save files in a new folder , click the Create New Folder button. Or use Alt+5 in creating a new folder. Viewing It Once you have the Save As or Open dialog box open, click the arrow on the Views button and select a different view.
In Word, for example, you will save in Word format; in Excel you'll save in Excel format, and so on.
From the Save As list, choose a different file format. If you are not sure what format someone else needs a file to be in, choose a generic format. In Word, use Rich Text Format (*.rtf); in Excel, use Text (Tab delimited) (*.txt). These files will open in almost every word-processing and spreadsheet program.
Important Note: The view in the right side of the screen depends on which folder on the left is highlighted. In this picture, the inbox is being displayed because the word Inbox is highlighted. Close the Preview Pane You can close and open the preview pane. To do this task, from the View menu, select Preview Pane. If the message is from a reliable source, such as another person you know in your company, choose Run Script. If you do not know the source of the e-mail (for example, an unsolicited sales message), choose Disable Script. If the message you are opening contains embedded HTML or scripting commands, you may see a box prompting you to Disable Script or Run Script.
The Outbox After you click Send, your message moves to the Outbox. Depending on your Outlook setup and network connection, the message is sent either immediately or the next time you click Send/Receive on the Standard toolbar. You must have an active network connection to send and receive e-mail.
Send/Receive The message window closes, and the message moves to your Outbox. Depending on your Outlook setup and network connection, you might have to click Send/Receive on the Standard toolbar to send the message. If the message is in the Outbox, it has not been sent. You might need to connect to a network and then click Send/Receive. If you have questions about your setup or network connection, contact your computer support department or Internet service provider.
You can also open the Sent Items folder to verify that messages were sent. Messages move to this folder from the Outbox. Messages that you send stay here for a period of time, depending on your Outlook setup.
You can also choose either to view the free and busy times of the entire team together or to see an expanded list of free and busy times for the individual team members.
You can also set a default signature in this window. If you only have one signature, or have one that you use most of the time, you may want to set it up so that signature goes directly into the message box. If you don't set a default, you can insert it manually in the message box by clicking on insert, Signature, and then the name of your signature

Outlook has to be running in order for a reminder to appear. If you are running Outlook when the reminder is scheduled to appear, a flashing button appears on the taskbar, and a message box appears on your screen. For example, let's say you have to attend a meeting in 20 minutes, and you have a reminder set to open in 15 minutes. However, you do not have Outlook running, so the reminder window cannot open. Many users open Outlook when they start their computer and leave it running until the end of the day. Recurrence Button Click the Recurrence button on the Standard toolbar in the Appointment window to open the Appointment Recurrence dialog box. Appointment Recurrence Dialog Box In the Recurrence pattern options group, specify an interval for the appointment (Daily, Weekly, etc.). Here, the appointment is scheduled to occur every week.

Number of Occurrences In the Range of recurrence options group, you can also set the number of meeting occurrences. For example, you can have a meeting stop after 10 occurrences. Here, we have the meeting recurring indefinitely. After selecting options, click OK to save the occurrence information. The Appointment Recurrence dialog box closes. You can then click Save and Close on the Appointment window to record the appointment.
Three Options When a reminder appears, you have three choices. Dismiss turns the reminder off. Snooze turns the reminder off temporarily. The reminder reappears after the interval specified in the Click Snooze to be reminded again box. Open Item opens the Calendar window, so that you can read your notes and decide what to do.
Recurrence, Reminder, and Notes You can set Recurrence, Reminder, and note information for a task in the same way that you did for an appointment when using the Calendar tool

Remember Top Left Corner. Adds above or to the left. Remember not to click on Row or Column if you want to just insert a cell. Remember to Right Click when in doubt! When inserting a single cell, you can choose to either shift cells right or shift cells down. Click OK to insert the cells. You can remove cells as well, shifting the remaining data over to fill the gap left by the cells you remove. To remove a cell, select the cell you want to remove. However, if the cell you select contains data, that data will be removed as well.
New Columns and Rows If you need to, you can insert additional columns and/or rows anywhere in your worksheet. The new columns or rows are inserted between the existing ones. Your existing data won't be affected by the insertion; it is simply moved over or down. If you need to, you can insert additional columns and/or rows anywhere in your worksheet. The new columns or rows are inserted between the existing ones. Your existing data won't be affected by the insertion; it is simply moved over or down. For example, if you had a formula that divided some number by cell C12, and you deleted either column C, or row 12, then the formula would result in an error because you'd be trying to divide by zero. The number of columns or rows inserted will equal the number of columns or rows selected. So if you want to insert multiple columns or rows, select the same number as you want inserted. This is also true for deleting columns or rows. The number of columns or rows selected is the same number that will be deleted.
Work Collectively with Web Components Excel and Office 2000 bring you the power of Office Web Components , providing Web viewers the ability to manipulate spreadsheet, chart, and PivotTable® data from within their browser for on-the-spot data analysis. Simply click the "Add Interactivity" button when you Save As Web Page.
This is in appearance only, the formula bar will still show the cell's actual contents when it is activated. If you type a number into a cell that's not wide enough to display it, the number may appear in scientific notation (1.23e+4). When it can, Excel tries to expand the column to fit the length of a new number entry automatically, so that the scientific notation does not appear. However, if the notation does appear, the solution of course, is to widen the column.
Be careful when using the Decrease Decimal button. It rounds the number, instead of simply cutting off the unwanted numbers. For example, if you set a cell to display zero decimal places, the number 428.79 becomes 429, not 428. This may or may not be the result you want
Separate Ranges If you need to select more than one range at a time, you can. This section will look at the steps for selecting multiple ranges. Press and hold down the Ctrl key. Repeat the first step to select the next range. Select additional ranges as needed, while holding down Ctrl. For example, you can select two separate ranges that don't touch (non-contiguous). You can then perform a single task on them at the same time.
By default text values are left-aligned in a cell (placed against the left edge), while numeric values are right-aligned in a cell. To enter a numeric label, type an apostrophe ('), then the number. An example is shown here in the Formula Bar To enter a fraction, type a zero, a space, and then the fraction, as in: 0 1/2. If you want to enter a mixed number (an integer and a fraction, as in 4 1/3) you do not need to enter the zero first. To enter today's date, press Ctrl+semicolon (;). If you enter a time without following it by a p (P.M.) or an a (A.M.), Excel assumes you're using military time. Thus, 2:35 automatically becomes 2:35 A.M. If you enter a two-digit year, Excel assumes the year is either 1930 to 1999 (if you enter a number from 30 to 99) or 2000 to 2029 (if you enter a number from 00 to 29). For this reason, it might be better to use four-digit years if you're entering several dates that use different years — for example, a series of birth dates.
Use the new PivotTable AutoFormat feature New PivotChart™ views offer powerful, visual representations of your data that can easily be manipulated for further analysis. Because PivotChart and PivotTable views are linked, they are updated in tandem as you change or move fields.
If AutoCorrect changes something you don't want it to, you can undo the change by choosing Undo Typing from the Edit menu, or clicking the Undo button on the toolbar. You can also remove the correction entirely from the AutoCorrect list. Select the item from the Replace text as you type list in the AutoCorrect dialog box and choose the Delete button to delete the entry.
