CHAPTER 1: Introduction to Software Applications

Objectives:
a.) Differentiate the use of software applications.
b.) Recognize the types of software suites.
c.) Discover the different office tools that is being used in
businesses today.

Lesson 1: Software Suite

A software suite or application suite is a collection of computer programs —usually
application software or programming software— of related functionality, often sharing a similar
user interface and the ability to easily exchange data with each other.
Advantages

 Less costly than buying individual packages

 Identical or very similar GUI
 Designed to interface with each other
 Helps the learning curve of the user
Disadvantages:

 Some purchased features may never be used by the user

 May take a significant amount of disk space (bloatware)
 Likely to require significant effort for stuff
Types of Software Suites:

1. An office suite is a collection of bundled productivity software (a software suite) intended

to be used by knowledge workers. The components are generally distributed together,
have a consistent user interface and usually can interact with each other.
2. An Internet suite is an Internet-related software suite. Internet suites usually include a
web browser, e-mail client (often with a news client and address book), download
manager, HTML editor, and an IRC client.
3. A graphics suite is a software suite for graphics work that are distributed together. The
programs are usually able to interact with each other on a higher level than the operating
system would normally allow. Examples are Adobe graphics suite, CoreIDRAW Graphics
Suite and Microsoft Expression Studio.

4. An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides

comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE
normally consists of at least a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger.
Some IDEs, such as NetBeans and Eclipse, contain the necessary compiler, interpreter, or
both; others, such as SharpDevelop and Lazarus, do not.

CHAPTER 4: Advanced Operations with Word

Objectives:
a.) Determine the advanced operations that can be used in each
office tools
b.) Create files that can be compatible with any software or
office tools and make them more secured on sharing files.

Lesson 1: Performing Calculations in Tables in Word

Insert Formulas into Word Tables

Let’s start out by creating a simple test table. Click on the Insert tab and then click
on Table. Choose how many rows and columns you want from the grid.

Once your table has been inserted, go ahead and add in some data. I’ve just made a really
simple table with a couple of numbers for my example.

10 10 10
20 20 20
30 30 30

Page 1
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Now let’s go ahead and insert a formula. In the first example, I’m going to add the first
three values in the first row together (10 + 10 + 10). To do this, click inside the last cell in the
fourth column, click on Layout in the ribbon and then click on Formula at the far right.

This will bring up the Formula dialog with a default of =SUM(LEFT).

If you were to simply click OK, you will see the value we are looking for in the cell (30).

10 10 10 30
20 20 20
30 30 30

Let’s talk about the formula. Just like Excel, a formula starts with an equals sign, followed
by a function name and arguments in parenthesis. In Excel, you only specify cell references or
named ranges like A1, A1:A3, etc., but in Word, you have these positional terms you can use.
In the example, LEFT means all cells that are to the left of the cell in which the formula is
entered. You can also use RIGHT, ABOVE and BELOW. You can use these positional arguments
with SUM, PRODUCT, MIN, MAX, COUNT and AVERAGE.
In addition, you can use these arguments in combination. For example, I could type
in =SUM(LEFT, RIGHT) and it would add all the cells that are to the left and right of that

Page 2
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

cell. =SUM(ABOVE, RIGHT) would add all numbers that are above the cell and to the right. You
get the picture.

Now let’s talk about some of the other functions and how we can specify cells in a
different manner. If I wanted to find the maximum number in the first column, I could add
another row and then use the =MAX(ABOVE) function to get 30. However, there is another way
you can do this. I could also simply go into any cell and type in =MAX(A1:A3), which references
the first three rows in the first column.

This is really convenient because you can put the formulas anywhere you want in the
table. You can also reference individual cells like writing =SUM(A1, A2, A3), which will give you
the same result. If you write =SUM(A1:B3), it will add A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, and B3. Using these
combinations, you can pretty much reference any data you like.

If you want to see a list of all the functions you can use in your Word formula, just click
on the Paste Function box.

Page 3
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

You can use IF statements, AND and OR operators and more. Let’s see an example of a
more complex formula.

In the example above, I have =IF(SUM(A1:A3) > 50, 50, 0), which means that if the sum
from A1 to A3 is greater than 50, show 50, otherwise show 0. It’s worth noting that all of these
functions really only work with numbers. You can’t do anything with text or strings and you can’t
output any text or string either. Everything has to be a number.

Here’s another example using the AND function. In this example, I am saying that if both
the sum and max value of A1 to A3 is greater than 50, then true otherwise false. True is
represented by a 1 and False by 0.

If you type in a formula and it’s got an error in it, you’ll see a syntax error message.

To fix the formula, just right click on the error and choose Edit Field.

Page 4
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

This will bring up the Field dialog. Here you just have to click on the Formula button.

This will bring up the same Formula editing dialog that we’ve been working with since the
beginning. That’s about all there is to inserting formulas into Word.

online documentation from Microsoft.

Lesson 6: Mail Merge from Excel to Word

Mail Merge from Excel to Word can be a real time-saver when it comes to sending large
mailings. It lets you quickly create custom letters, emails or mailing labels in Word by merging
the information you already have in your Excel spreadsheet.
Mail Merge basics

Doing a mail merge may look like a daunting task, but in

fact the process is pretty simple.

It may help to get the insight, if you think of the mail

merge process in terms of 3 documents.
1. Word mail merge document with codes for the
personalized fields.
2. Excel mail merge source file with information about
the recipients, one row for each recipient.
3. The final Word document with the personalized
letters, emails, envelops etc.

The goal of the mail merge is to combine the data in File

1 and File 2 to create File 3.
Preparing the Excel spreadsheet for Mail Merge

When you run a mail merge, your Excel file will get connected to your Word mail merge
document, and Microsoft Word will be pulling the recipients' names, addresses and other details
directly from your Excel worksheet.

So, before starting the merge in Word, make sure your Excel file has all the information you want
to include such as first names, last names, salutations, zip codes, addresses, etc. If you want to
add more contacts or other information, you'd better make the changes or additions in your Excel
sheet now before running the mail merge.
Important things to check:
 The columns in your Excel sheet should match the fields you want to use when doing a
mail merge. For instance, if you want to address your readers by the first name, be sure
to create separate columns for first and last names. If you want to sort the recipients by
state or city, verify that you have a separate State or City column.

 If your Excel file includes dates, times, currency values, or postal codes that begin or end
in 0, see how to correctly format mail merge numbers, dates and currency.

Page 21
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

 If you create an Excel spreadsheet by importing information from a .csv or a .txt file, then
use the Text Import Wizard, as explained in Importing CSV files into Excel.

 If you want to export Outlook contacts, the following article may be helpful - How to
export Outlook contacts to Excel.
How to mail merge from Excel to Word?

When your Excel spreadsheet is set up and reviewed, you are ready to run the mail merge. In this
example, we will be merging the letter with a recipient list in Word 2010. If you are using Word
2013 or Word 2016, the steps will be exactly the same.

1. If you have already composed your letter, you can open an existing Word document,
otherwise create a new one.
2. Choose what kind of merge you want to run. Switch to the Mailings tab > Start Mail
Merge group, and select the mail merge type - letters, email messages, labels, envelopes
or documents. We are choosing Letters.

3. Select the recipients. On the Mailings tab, click Select Recipients > Use Existing List.

4. Connect your Excel spreadsheet and Word document. By setting the connection
between your Excel sheet and the Word document you ensure that your mail merge data

Page 22
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

source will be automatically updated each time you make changes to the Excel file that
contains the recipients data.

In the Select Data Source dialog, browse to your Excel sheet and click Open. If Word prompts you
to select a table, do this and click OK.

5. If you want to include only some of your Excel entries,

then click the Edit Recipient List button in the Start Mail
Merge group.

The Mail Merge Recipients dialog opens and you check or

uncheck checkboxes to add or remove the recipients from the mail merge.

Page 23
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Tip. You can also sort, filter and dedupe the recipients list as well as validate the email addresses
by clicking the corresponding option under the Refine Recipients List section.

Okay, we are finished with the recipients list and you are ready to start on the letter. Type the
text as you usually do in a Word document or copy/paste from an external source.
6. Add placeholders. Now you need to add placeholders for the Address Block and
Greeting Line for Mail Merge to know exactly where to add the data. To add a
placeholder, click the corresponding button on the ribbon Mailing > Write & Insert
Fields.

Depending on the placeholder you are adding, a dialog box will appear with various options.
Select the desired options, verify the results under the Preview section and click OK. You can use
the right and left arrows to switch to the next or previous recipient's preview.

When done, the corresponding placeholder will appear in your document, as shown in the
screenshot below:

Page 24
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

For some letters, adding only the Address block and Greeting line will suffice. When the letter is
printed out, all the copies will be identical except for the recipients' names and addresses.

In other cases you may wish to place the recipient's data within the letter text to personalize it
further. To do this, click Insert Merge Field and choose the data you want to insert from the
drop-down list.

Page 25
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

7. Preview the letter. To make sure the recipients data correctly appear in the letter, click
the Preview Results button on the Mailing tab.

You can use the left and right arrows to view each letter with the recipient's data.

8. Finish Mail Merge. If you are happy with all the previews, head over to the Finish group
and click the Finish & Merge button. Here you can choose to print the letters or send them
as email messages.

Page 26
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

If you want to make some edits before printing / emailing, click Edit Individual Documents. A
new document will open and you will be able to make the desired changes in each particular
letter.

9. Save the mail merge document. You save the mail merge file as a usual Word document
by clicking the Save button or pressing Ctrl+S.
Once it is saved, the file will stay connected to your Excel mailing list. When you want to use the
mail merge document again, open it and click Yes when Microsoft Word prompts you to retain
that connection.

In addition to the Mail Merge options available on the ribbon that we've just discussed, Microsoft
Excel provides exactly the same features in the form of the Mail Merge Wizard.
You can start the wizard via Mailings tab > Start Mail Merge > Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard...

Page 27
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Once clicked, the Mail Merge Wizard will open on the right of your screen and walk you through
the merge process step-by-step.

In my opinion, working with the ribbon is more convenient because you can view all the merge
options at once and quickly pick the needed one. However, if you are doing the mail merge for
the first time, you may find the wizard's step-by-step guidance helpful.

In Excel 2016, when we open up a new workbook, it now includes only one worksheet.
There can be the max of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns in an excel worksheet.
Worksheet
Excel files are known as workbooks. Each workbook hold one or more worksheets (also
called a "spreadsheetsx").
Whenever we create a new Excel workbook, it will include one worksheet named Sheet1.
A worksheet is a framework of columns and rows where column are identified by letters running
across the top of worksheet,
and rows are identified by
numbers running down the
left side of the worksheet.

When working with a

high amount of data, we can
create multiple worksheets to
help organize our workbook
and make it easier to find
content. We can also group
worksheets to quickly add data to multiple worksheets at the same time.

Lesson 6: Excel Formula

Excel Creating Formulas
In cell C5 enter the
number 20, now in cell E5
type the formula: =C5+5
then press the Enter key.
You will get the result.
The formula says 5 is
added to the value
entered in the cell C5 as
the value is 20 the result
is 25. See the image:

In a similar way other

formulas can be created:
=C2*5 for multiplication,
the value in the cell C2 is
multiplied with 5.
=C2-5 for subtraction, 5 is
subtracted from the
value in the cell C2.

More formulas can be created by typing

= in the cell then selecting the
appropriate values and typing correct
mathematical symbol in between.

Page 13
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Excel Fill Handle in Formulas

In the image given below, we
want to multiply the numbers in column
B with 5, so we can type the formula such
as =B3*5 for cell B3 and other cells of the
column B, but this is not possible with
long lists.

In such cases, we use Fill handle

to perform the calculations. So, type the
formula =B3*5 in cell C3 then left click on
the right bottom corner of cell C3, fill
handle will appear. Pull the fill handle
downward till cell C10 then leave the
mouse. The whole list of numbers in
column B will be multiplied by 5.

Excel Relative Referencing

Relative referencing tells that
you don't need to type the formula
separately for each calculation in a
column or a row. See the image:
Type the formula in the first
cell D3 and press Enter key to get the
result, then use the fill handle. The
formula will change automatically in
the respective cells and all values of
list 1 will get multiplied with
respective values of list 2.
This way you can easily
multiply values of list 1 with
respective values of list 2 but if you
want to multiply all cells of list 1 with a single cell of list 2 such as C3 then it won't work.

Quick Excel Functions

There are some quick functions in
Excel that can provide you the statistics
of your worksheet without using
formulas such as Status Bar quick
functions.

See the image given below, as

soon as you select the desired range you
will get the statistics in the status bar, the
average of numbers, the number of cells
that contain values and the sum of
numbers.

By a right click on the status bar you can customize it. You can add more functions in the
status bar. Select the function from the menu which you want to add in the status bar. See the
image shown below, status bar is customized. It is also showing maximum and minimum of the

 What to display if the condition is not fulfilled
See how the "IF function" is created step by step to find the safe and unsafe travelling
speeds in the following example.

 Select the cell in which you want to create the "IF function"
 Type the code in the cell: =if(
 Type the condition with comma: B4>70,
 Type what you want to show if condition is fulfilled. If you want to display text then
write it within quotation marks: "Unsafe"
 Type a comma: ,
 Type what you want to show if the condition is not fulfilled within quotation
marks: "Safe"
 Then close the bracket and press the Enter key.
The IF function created above will look like this: =if(B4>70,"Unsafe","Safe")
So the IF function says if the speed or value in the cell B4 is more than 70 then display
Unsafe and if it is less than 70 then display Safe.

Page 16
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

After pressing the Enter key you will get the result for cell B4. Drag the fill handle
downward till cell C9 to get status for other speeds of column B.
Excel If Function with Calculations
"IF function" can be used in complex calculations. See the example:
If a sales executive sells more than 5 items, the company will pay incentive 40 rupees
per item sold and if the sales executive sells less than 5 items, the company will pay 20 rupees
per item sold.
See how the "IF function" is used with the calculation:

 Select the cell in which you want to create the "IF function"
 Type the code in the cell: =if(
 Type the condition with comma: C4>5,
 Type what you want to show if condition is fulfilled: 40*C4
 Type a comma: ,
 Type what you want to show if the condition is not fulfilled: 20*C4
 Then close the bracket and press the Enter key.
The IF function will look like this: =if(C4>5,40*C4,20*C4)

Page 17
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

So the IF function says if value in cell C4 is greater than 5 then multiply it with 40. If it is
less than 5 then multiply it with 20.
The IF function can be modified to perform different calculations:
Suppose in the above example the company wants to pay rupees 50 along with incentive to
those employees who have completed probation period of 5 months or their job duration is
more than 5 months.
In this case, we can insert one more column in the worksheet for job months and modify the IF
function accordingly to get the results.
The modified IF function is: =if(C4>5,50+E4,E4)
It says if the value in cell C4 is greater than 5 then add 50 to E4 which is incentive of Peter. And
if it is less than 5 then keep the incentive, the value of cell E4 same. See the image shown
below:

CHAPTER 7: Advanced Operations with Excel

Objectives:
a.) Determine the advanced operations that can be used in
Microsoft Excel.
b.) Create a workbook that can be compatible with any software
or office tools and make them more secured on sharing files.

Lesson 1: Using Macro in Excel

Macros in MS Excel
Macros enable you to automate almost any task that you can undertake in Excel 2010. By
using macro recorder from View Tab » Macro Dropdown to record tasks that you perform
routinely, you not only speed up the procedure considerably but you are assured that each step
in a task is carried out the same way each and every time you perform a task.
To view macros choose View Tab » Macro dropdown.

Macro Options
View tab contains a Macros command button to which a dropdown menu containing the
following three options.

Page 1
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

 View Macros − Opens the Macro dialog box where you can select a macro to run or edit.
 Record Macro − Opens the Record Macro dialog box where you define the settings for
your new macro and then start the macro recorder; this is the same as clicking the Record
Macro button on the Status bar.
 Use Relative References − Uses relative cell addresses when recording a macro, making
the macro more versatile by enabling you to run it in areas of a worksheet other than the
ones originally used in the macro’s recording.
Creating Macros
You can create macros in one of two ways −
 Use MS Excel’s macro recorder to record your actions as you undertake them in a
worksheet.
 Enter the instructions that you want to be followed in a VBA code in the Visual Basic
Editor.
Now let's create a simple macro that will automate the task of making cell content Bold and apply
cell color.
 Choose View Tab » Macro dropdown.
 Click on Record Macro as below.

 Now Macro recording will start.

 Do the steps of action, which you want to perform repeatedly. Macro will record those
steps.

Page 2
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

 You can stop the macro recording once done with all steps.

Edit Macro
You can edit the created Macro at any time. Editing macro will take you to the VBA programming
editor.

Lesson 2: Cross Referencing in Excel

Graphic Objects in MS Excel

When you have information spread across several different spreadsheets, it can seem a
daunting task to bring all these different sets of data together into one meaningful list or table.
This is where the Vlookup function comes into its own.
VLOOKUP
VlookUp searches for a value vertically down for the lookup table.
VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,range_lookup) has 4 parameters as below.
 lookup_value − It is the user input. This is the value that the function uses to search on.

 The table_array − It is the area of cells in which the table is located. This includes not only
the column being searched on, but the data columns for which you are going to get the
values that you need.
 Col_index_num − It is the column of data that contains the answer that you want.

 Range_lookup − It is a TRUE or FALSE value. When set to TRUE, the lookup function gives
the closest match to the lookup_value without going over the lookup_value. When set to
FALSE, an exact match must be found to the lookup_value or the function will return
#N/A. Note, this requires that the column containing the lookup_value be formatted in
ascending order.
VLOOKUP Example

Let's look at a very simple example of cross-referencing two spreadsheets. Each spreadsheet
contains information about the same group of people. The first spreadsheet has their dates of
birth, and the second shows their favorite color. How do we build a list showing the person's
name, their date of birth and their favorite color? VLOOOKUP will help in this case. First of all, let
us see data in both the sheets.
This is data in the first sheet

Page 4
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

This is data in the second sheet

Page 5
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Now for finding the respective favorite color for that person from another sheet we need
to vlookup the data. First argument to the VLOOKUP is lookup value (In this case it is person
name). Second argument is the table array, which is table in the second sheet from B2 to C11.
Third argument to VLOOKUP is Column index num, which is the answer we are looking for. In this
case, it is 2 the color column number is 2. The fourth argument is True returning partial match or
false returning exact match. After applying VLOOKUP formula it will calculate the color and the
results are displayed as below.

As you can see in the above screen-shot that results of VLOOKUP has searched for color
in the second sheet table. It has returned #N/A in case where match is not found. In this case,
Andy's data is not present in the second sheet so it returned #N/A.

Lesson 3: Email Workbook

Email Workbook

MS Excel allows you to email the

workbook very easily. To email the
workbook to anyone, follow the below
mentioned steps.
 Choose File » Save and Send. It
basically saves the document
first and then the emails.

 Click on Send using E-mail if

your email system is
configured. MS Outlook will open with the file as attachment in the New Email Window.
You can send mail this workbook to anyone with valid email address.

Page 7
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Lesson 4: Workbook Security

We can apply security to the workbook by the concept of protection available in the Review
Tab of ribbon. MS Excel's protection-related features fall into three categories.

 Worksheet protection − Protecting a worksheet from being modified, or restricting the

modifications to certain users.

 Workbook protection − Protecting a workbook from having sheets inserted or deleted,

and also requiring the use of password to open the workbook.
Protect Worksheet
You may want to protect a worksheet for a variety of reasons. One reason is to prevent
yourself or others from accidentally deleting the formulas or other critical data. A common
scenario is to protect a worksheet, so that the data can be changed, but the formulas can’t be
changed.

To protect a worksheet, choose Review » Changes group » Protect Sheet. Excel displays
the Protect Sheet dialog box. Note that providing a password is optional. If you enter a password,
that password will be required to unprotect the worksheet. You can select various options in
which the sheet should be protected. Suppose we checked Format Cells option then Excel will
not allow to format cells.

When somebody tries to format the cells, he or she will get the error as shown in the screenshot
below.

Page 8
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

To unprotect a protected sheet, choose Review » Changes group » Unprotect Sheet. If

the sheet was protected with a password, you’re prompted to enter that password.
Protecting a Workbook
Excel provides three ways to protect a workbook.
 Requires a password to open the workbook.
 Prevents the users from adding sheets, deleting sheets, hiding sheets, and unhiding
sheets.
 Prevents users from changing the size or position of windows.
Requiring a Password to Open a Workbook
Excel lets you save a workbook with a password. After doing so, whoever tries to open the
workbook, must enter the password. To add a password to a workbook, follow these steps.
 Choose File » Info » Protect Workbook » Encrypt With Password. Excel displays the
Encrypt Document dialog box.
 Type a password and click OK.
 Type the password again and click OK.
 Save the workbook.

Page 9
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

To remove a password from a workbook, repeat the same procedure. In Step 2, however,
delete the existing password symbols.
Protecting Workbook’s Structure and Windows
To prevent others (or yourself) from performing certain actions in a workbook, you can
protect the workbook’s structure and windows. When a workbook’s structure and windows are
protected, the user may not Add a sheet, Delete a sheet, Hide a sheet, unhide a sheet, etc., and
may not be allowed to change the size or position of a workbook’s windows respectively.
To protect a worksheet’s structure and windows, follow the below mentioned steps.
 Choose Review » Changes group » Protect Workbook to display the Protect Workbook
dialog box.

 In the Protect Workbook dialog box, select the Structure check box and Windows check
box.
 (Optional) Enter a password.
 Click OK.

Lesson 5: Data Tables

In Excel, a Data Table is a way to see different results by altering an input cell in your formula.
Data tables are available in Data Tab » What-If analysis dropdown » Data table in MS Excel.

Data Table with Example

Now, let us see data table concept with an example. Suppose you have the Price and quantity of
many values. Also, you have the discount for that as third variable for calculating the Net Price.
You can keep the Net Price value in the organized table format with the help of the data table.
Your Price runs horizontally to the right while quantity runs vertically down. We are using a
formula to calculate the Net Price as Price multiplied by Quantity minus total discount (Quantity
* Discount for each quantity).

Page 12
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Now, for creation of data table select the range of data table. Choose Data Tab » What-If analysis
dropdown » Data table. It will give you dialogue asking for Input row and Input Column. Give the
Input row as Price cell (In this case cell B3) and Input column as quantity cell (In this case cell B4).
Please see the below screen-shot.

Clicking OK will generate data table as shown in the below screen-shot. It will generate the table
formula. You can change the price horizontally or quantity vertically to see the change in the Net
Price.

Page 13
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Lesson 6: Pivot Tables

Pivot Tables

A pivot table is essentially a dynamic summary report generated from a database. The database
can reside in a worksheet (in the form of a table) or in an external data file. A pivot table can help
transform endless rows and columns of numbers into a meaningful presentation of the data.
Pivot tables are very powerful tool for summarized analysis of the data.
Pivot tables are available under Insert tab » PivotTable dropdown » PivotTable.
Pivot Table Example
Now, let us see Pivot table with the help of example. Suppose you have huge data of voters and
you want to see the summarized data of voter Information per party, then you can use the Pivot
table for it. Choose Insert tab » Pivot Table to insert pivot table. MS Excel selects the data of the
table. You can select the pivot table location as existing sheet or new sheet.

This will generate the Pivot table pane as shown below. You have various options available in the
Pivot table pane. You can select fields for the generated pivot table.

Page 14
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

 Column labels − A field that has a column orientation in the pivot table. Each item in the
field occupies a column.
 Report Filter − You can set the filter for the report as year, then data gets filtered as per
the year.
 Row labels − A field
that has a row
orientation in the
pivot table. Each
item in the field
occupies a row.
 Values area − The
cells in a pivot table
that contain the
summary data.
Excel offers several
ways to summarize
the data (sum,
average, count, and
so on).
After giving input fields to
the pivot table, it generates
the pivot table with the data as shown below.

Page 15
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Lesson 7: Pivot Charts

Pivot Charts

A pivot chart is a graphical representation of a data summary, displayed in a pivot table. A pivot
chart is always based on a pivot table. Although Excel lets you create a pivot table and a pivot
chart at the same time, you can’t create a pivot chart without a pivot table. All Excel charting
features are available in a pivot chart.
Pivot charts are available under Insert tab » PivotTable dropdown » PivotChart.
Pivot Chart Example
Now, let us see Pivot table with the help of an example. Suppose you have huge data of voters
and you want to see the summarized view of the data of voter Information per party in the
form of charts, then you can use the Pivot chart for it. Choose Insert tab » Pivot Chart to insert
the pivot table.

Page 16
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

MS Excel selects the data of the table. You can select the pivot chart location as an existing
sheet or a new sheet. Pivot chart depends on automatically created pivot table by the MS Excel.
You can generate the pivot chart in the below screen-shot.

Page 13
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Lesson 5: Duplicating Content

PowerPoint is a multi-content program that supports many non-text content types like
shapes, charts, pictures, clip arts, SmartArt and multimedia files. While working with the content,
it may sometimes be required to duplicate the content as part of the presentation development.
PowerPoint offers options to duplicate the non-text content using the cutcopy-paste features.
Cut-Paste Procedure
In this procedure, the original content is moved to a different location. When you use the Cut
option, you can also create multiple copies, it is just that the content in the original location is
lost. The following steps will make you understand how to work with the cutpaste procedure.

Step 1 − Select the content you want to move. Right-click on it to access the Cut option.

Page 14
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Step 2 − Now move the cursor to the location where you want the content to be moved and right-
click to access the Paste options.

Page 15
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Step 3 − Select one of the paste options to paste the content.

Page 16
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Copy-Paste Procedure

This is exactly similar to the cut-paste procedure except that the original content is retained in
the original location.
Step 1 − Select the content you want to move. Right-click on it to access the Copy option.

Step 2 − Now move the cursor to the location where you want the content to be moved and right-
click to access the Paste options.

Page 17
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Step 3 − Select one of the paste options to paste the content.

The Use Destination Theme option retains the content as the original content, but uses the
destination location theme settings. The Picture option just pastes the content as an image with
original settings. Once pasted as a picture you cannot change the parameters of the original
content; for example, if you pasted a chart as an image, you cannot edit the data on the chart
image.

Page 18
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Lesson 6: Special Characters

PowerPoint supports the insertion of special characters. This allows the users to adjust
the font characteristics of these
characters just like any other text
giving them greater flexibility in
terms of the presentation design.
The following steps will help you
insert special characters.
Step 1 − In the Insert Tab, under
the Symbols group, click on
the Symbol command.

Step 2 − In the Symbol dialog, select one of the special characters you want to insert in the
presentation.

Page 19
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Step 3 − If you cannot find the character you are looking for, you can change the font subset from
the dropdown and look at a new set of characters.

Step 4 − If you know the character code of the symbol, you can enter it in the Character
Code field and search for it.

Page 20
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Step 5 − To insert a character, you can either double-click on it in the Symbol dialog or, select it
and press the Insert button.

Step 6 − The Symbol dialog does not disappear after you insert a character, which means you can
add as many characters as you want from this dialog.
Step 7 − Once you are done, you can click Close to close the dialog.

 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Lesson 7: Using Slide Master

Slide master is simple way of applying changes to the entire slide. Every presentation has
at least one slide master, but you can have more than one. Using features like copy/ paste and
format painting you can make changes to different sections within the presentation to make
them look similar, however, if you want to use a theme and background throughout the slide,
using the slide master is a simpler and more graceful way of approaching it.
Given below are the steps to customize your slide master.
Step 1 − Go to the Master Views group under the View ribbon.

Page 22
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Step 2 − Click on Slide Master to open the Slide Master Ribbon. The top most slide in the left
sidebar is the Master slide. All the slides within this master template will follow the settings you
add on this master slide.

Step 3 − You can make changes to the master slide in terms of the theme, design, font properties,
position and size of the title and other content using the remaining ribbons which are still
accessible.
Step 4 − While PowerPoint provides some default slide layouts, you can create your own layouts
by clicking on the "Insert Layout" in the Edit Master section of the Slide Master ribbon.

Page 23
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Step 5 − You can add content placeholders to the slide layouts using the "Insert Placeholder" in
the Master Layout group under the Slide Master ribbon. Under the Placeholder dropdown, you
can either create a generic content placeholder or specify the kind of content you want in that
placeholder.

Step 6 − You can apply different themes, background and page setup settings to all the slides
from the master slide

Page 24
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Step 7 − You can also customize individual slide layouts to be different from the master slide
using the menu options available with the layouts.

CHAPTER 11: Electronic Mail Basics

Objectives:
a.) Determine effective email structures to achieve clarity and
successful communication.
b.) Develop a heightened awareness of the potential perils of
digital communication.

Lesson 1: Email Overview

Email
Email is a service which allows us to send the message in
electronic mode over the internet. It offers an efficient, inexpensive
and real time mean of distributing information among people.
E-Mail Address
Each user of email is assigned a unique name for his email
account. This name is known as E-mail address. Different users can
send and receive messages according to the e-mail address.
E-mail is generally of the form username@domainname. For example,
webmaster@tutorialspoint.com is an e-mail address where webmaster is username and
tutorialspoint.com is domain name.
Important Reminders:
• The username and the domain name are separated by @ (at) symbol.

• E-mail addresses are not case sensitive.

• Spaces are not allowed in e-mail address.
E-mail Message Components
E-mail message comprises of different components: E-mail Header, Greeting, Text, and
Signature. These components are described in the following diagram:

Page 1
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

1. E-mail Header
The first five lines of an E-mail message is called E-mail header. The header part comprises of
following fields:
• From • Subject
• Date • CC
• To • BCC

2. From - The From field indicates the sender’s address i.e. who sent the e-mail.
3. Date - The Date field indicates the date when the e-mail was sent.
4. To - The To field indicates the recipient’s address i.e. to whom the e-mail is sent.
5. Subject - The Subject field indicates the purpose of e-mail. It should be precise and to the
point.
6. CC - CC stands for Carbon copy. It includes those recipient addresses whom we want to
keep informed but not exactly the intended recipient.
7. BCC - BCC stands for Black Carbon Copy. It is used when we do not want one or more of
the recipients to know that someone else was copied on the message.
8. Greeting - Greeting is the opening of the actual message. Eg. Hi Sir or Hi Guys etc.

Page 2
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

9. Text - It represents the actual content of the message.

10. Signature - This is the final part of an e-mail message. It includes Name of Sender,
Address, and Contact Number.
Advantages
E-mail has prooved to be powerful and reliable medium of commmunication. Here are the
benefits of E-mail:
• Reliable • Printable
• Convenience • Global
• Speed • Generality
• Inexpensive

1. Reliable - Many of the mail systems notify the sender if e-mail message was
undeliverable.
2. Convenience - There is no requirement of stationary and stamps. One does not have to
go to post office. But all these things are not required for sending or receiving an mail.
3. Speed - E-mail is very fast. However, the speed also depends upon the underlying
network.
4. Inexpensive - The cost of sending e-mail is very low.
5. Printable - It is easy to obtain a hardcopy of an e-mail. Also an electronic copy of an e-
mail can also be saved for records.
6. Global - E-mail can be sent and received by a person sitting across the globe.
7. Generality - It is also possible to send graphics, programs and sounds with an e-mail.
Disadvantages
Apart from several benefits of E-mail, there also exists some disadvantages as discussed
below:
• Forgery • Junk
• Overload • No response
• Misdirection

1. Forgery - E-mail doesn’t prevent from forgery, that is, someone impersonating the
sender, since sender is usually not authenticated in any way.
2. Overload - Convenience of E-mail may result in a flood of mail.
3. Misdirection - It is possible that you may send e-mail to an unintended recipient.
4. Junk - Junk emails are undesirable and inappropriate emails. Junk emails are sometimes
referred to as spam.
5. No Response - It may be frustrating when the recipient does not read the e-mail and
respond on a regular basis.

Page 3
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Lesson 2: E-mail Working

E-mail System
E-mail system comprises of the following three components:
• Mailer
• Mail Server
• Mailbox

1. Mailer - It is also called mail program, mail application or mail client. It allows us to
manage, read and compose e-mail.
2. Mail Server - The function of mail server is to receive, store and deliver the email. It is
must for mail servers to be Running all the time because if it crashes or is down, email can
be lost.
3. Mailboxes - Mailbox is generally a folder that contains emails and information about
them.
Working of E-mail
Email working follows the client server approach. In this client is the mailer i.e. the mail
application or mail program and server is a device that manages emails.
Following example will take you through the basic steps involved in sending and receiving
emails and will give you a better understanding of working of email system:
• Suppose person A wants to send an email message to person B.
• Person A composes the messages using a mailer program i.e. mail client and then select
Send option.
• The message is routed to Simple Mail Transfer Protocol to person B’s mail server.
• The mail server stores the email message on disk in an area designated for person B.
The disk space area on mail server is called mail spool.
• Now, suppose person B is running a POP client and knows how to communicate with B’s
mail server.
• It will periodically poll the POP server to check if any new email has arrived for B. As in
this case, person B has sent an email for person B, so email is forwarded over the network
to B’s PC. This is message is now stored on person B’s PC.

The following diagram gives pictorial representation of the steps discussed above:

Lesson 3: Email Operations

Here we will discuss the operations that can be performed on an e-mail. But first of all we
will learn how to create an email account.
Creating Email Account
There are various email service provider available such as Gmail, hotmail, ymail, rediff
mail etc. Here we will learn how to create an account using Gmail.
• Open google.com/gmail and
click create an account.
• Now a form will appear. Fill
your details here and
click Next Step.

• This step allows you to add

your picture. If you don’t want
to upload now, you can do it
later. Click Next Step.
• Now a welcome window
appears. Click Continue to
Gmail.

Page 5
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

• Wow!! You are done with creating your email account with Gmail. It’s that easy. Isn’t it?
• Now you will see your Gmail account as shown in the following image:

Key Points:
• Gmail manages the mail into three categories namely Primary, Social and Promotions.
• Compose option is given at the right to compose an email message.
• Inbox, Starred, Sent mail, Drafts options are available on the left pane which allows you
to keep track of your emails.
Composing and Sending Email
Before sending an email, we need to compose a message. When we are composing an email
message, we specify the following things:
• Sender’s address in To field • Subject of email message
• Cc (if required) • Text
• Bcc (if required) • Signature

You should specify the correct email address; otherwise it will send an error back to the
sender.

Page 6
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Once you have specified all the above parameters, It’s time to send the email. The mailer
program provides a Send button to send email, when you click Send, it is sent to the mail server
and a message mail sent successfully is shown at the above.
Reading Email
Every email program offers you an interface to access email messages. Like in Gmail,
emails are stored under different tabs such as primary, social, and promotion. When you click
one of tab, it displays a list of emails under that tab.
In order to read an email, you just have to click on that email. Once you click a particular
email, it gets opened.
The opened email may have some file attached with it. The attachments are shown at the
bottom of the opened email with an option called download attachment.
Replying Email
After reading an email, you may have to reply that email. To reply an email,
click Reply option shown at the bottom of the opened email.
Once you click on Reply, it will automatically copy the sender’s address in to the To field.
Below the To field, there is a text box where you can type the message.
Once you are done with entering message, click Send button. It’s that easy. Your email is
sent.
Forwarding Email
It is also possible to send a copy of the message that you have received along with your
own comments if you want. This can be done using forward button available in mail client
software.
The difference between replying and forwarding an email is that when you reply a
message to a person who has send the mail but while forwarding you can send it to anyone.
When you receive a forwarded message, the message is marked with a > character in
front of each line and Subject: field is prefixed with Fw.
Deleting Email

message from the message list and clicking delete or pressing the appropriate command.

CHAPTER 12: Electronic Mail Features, Etiquettes and Security

Objectives:
a.) Determine effective email structures to achieve clarity and
successful communication.
b.) Develop a heightened awareness of the potential perils of
digital communication.

Lesson 1: Email Features

Now a day, the mail client comes with enhanced features such as attachment, address
book, and MIME support. Here in this chapter we will discuss all of these features which will give
you a better understanding of added feature of a mail client program.
Attachment
Ability to attach file(s) along with the message is one of the most useful features of email.
The attachment may be a word document, PowerPoint presentation, audio/video
files, or images.
• In order to attach file(s) to an email, click the attach button. As a result, a dialog box
appears asking for specifying the name and location of the file you want to attach.
• Once you have selected the appropriate file, it is attached to the mail.
• Usually a paper clip icon appears in the email which indicates that it has an attachment.
• When adding an attachment it is better to compress the attached files so as to reduce the
file size and save transmission time as sending and downloading large files consumes a
lot of space and time.
Address Book
Address book feature of a mail program allows the users to store information about the
people whom they communicate regularly by sending emails. Here are some of the key features
of an Address book:
• Address book includes the nick names, email addresses, phone number etc. of the people.
• Using address book allows us not to memorize email of address of a person, you just have
to select recipient name from the list.
• When you select a particular name from the list, the corresponding email address link
automatically get inserted in to the To: field.

• Address book also allows creating a group so that you can send a email to very member
of the group at once instead of giving each person email address one by one.
MIME Types
MIME is acronym of Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. MIME compliant mailer
allows us to send files other than simple text i.e. It allows us to send audio, video, images,
document, and pdf files as an attachment to an email.
Suppose if you want to send a word processor document that has a group of tabular
columns with complex formatting. If we transfer the file as text, all the formatting may be lost.
MIME compliant mailer takes care of messy details and the message arrives as desired.
The following table describes commonly used MIME Types:

1. Type Subtype Description File extension(s)

2. Application postscript Printable postscript document .eps, .ps

tex TEX document .tex
troff Printable troff document .t, .tr, .roff

3. Audio aiff Apple sound .aif, .aiff,.aifc

au Sun Microsystems sound .au, .snd
midi Musical Instrument Digital Interface .midi, .mid
real audio Progressive Network sound .ra, .ram

4. image gif Graphics Interchange Format .gif

Lesson 2: Etiquettes
The term etiquette refers to conventional rules of personal
behavior. But while communicating via email, we cannot know about
the body language and tone of voice etc. Therefore, a set of
guidelines for acceptable behavior on email that have been evolved
is known as Email Netiquette.
Here are set of guidelines that should be followed while working
with email:
• Try to make your message as short as possible. It will make your message easy to read
and understood.
• Be careful about spelling and grammar while typing a message.
• Use emoticons, smiles when required.
• Email address entered must be correct.
• The subject heading of a message should be clear and descriptive.
• Follow the same rules as if you are writing a letter or a memo.
• Sending a message that has already been forwarded or replied many times may contain
many angled brackets. It is better to remove the angled brackets from the message.
• While sending mails to multiple persons, specify their email addresses in the BCC: field so
that the spammers cannot come to know about addresses of other recipients to whom
you have sent a copy.
• Keep size of attachment as small as possible.
• Always add your signature at the end of email.
• Before you send, make it sure everything is fine because you cannot call back a sent mail.

Lesson 3: Email Security

E-mail Hacking
Email hacking can be done in any of the following ways:
• Spam • Virus • Phishing

(UBI) which one has not asked for. Email spams are the junk mails sent by
commercial companies as an advertisement of their products and services.

Some emails may incorporate with files containing malicious script which
when run on your computer may lead to destroy your important data.
Phishing

legitimate enterprise. Its main purpose is to steal sensitive information such as
usernames, passwords, and credit card details.
Such emails contains link to websites that are infected with malware and
direct the user to enter details at a fake website whose look and feels are same to legitimate one.
E-mail Spamming and Junk Mails
Email spamming is an act of sending Unsolicited Bulk E-mails (UBI) which one has not

their products and services.
Spams may cause the following problems:

e-mails if inbox is full.

separate e-mail address than the one you used for your
personal e-mails.

unknown persons.
• Never buy anything in response to a spam that advertises a product.

CHAPTER 13: Gmail

Objectives:
a.) Determine effective email structures to achieve clarity and
successful communication.
b.) Develop a heightened awareness of the potential perils of
digital communication.

Lesson 1: Introduction to Gmail

Gmail is a free email service provided by Google. In many ways, Gmail is like any other email
service: You can send and receive emails, block spam, create an address book, and perform
other basic email tasks. But it also has some more unique features that help make it one of the
most popular online email services.
In this lesson, we'll talk about some of the features and advantages of Gmail, and we'll give an
overview of the Gmail window.

Google accounts

Creating a Google account is needed to access Gmail because it is just one of the many services
offered by Google to registered users. Signing up for a Google account is free and easy, and
naming your new Gmail address will be a part of the sign-up process. This means whenever
you're signed in to Gmail, you are automatically signed in to your Google account. You'll be able
to easily access other Google services like Google Docs, Calendar, and YouTube.

Page 1
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

Of course, you don't have to use any of these features. You may just want to focus on email for
now. However, if you'd like more information, you can review our Google account tutorial,
where we talk about some of the different services Google offers and show you how to change
your privacy settings.
Gmail features
Gmail offers several useful features to make your email experience as smooth as possible,
including:
 Spam filtering. Spam is another name for junk email. Gmail uses advanced technologies
to keep spam out of your inbox. Most spam is automatically sent to a separate spam
folder, and after 30 days it is deleted.
 Conversation View. An email conversation occurs whenever you send emails back and
forth with another person (or a group of people), often about a specific topic or event.
Gmail groups these emails together by default, which keeps your inbox more organized.
 Built-in chat. Instead of sending an email, you can send someone an instant message or
use the voice and video chat feature if your computer has a microphone and/or webcam.
 Call Phone. This feature is similar to voice chat, except that it allows you to dial an actual
phone number to call any phone in the world. It's free to make a call to anywhere in the
United States or Canada, and you can make calls to other countries at relatively low rates.

Lesson 2: Setting up a Gmail account

To create a Gmail address, you'll first need to create a Google account. Gmail will redirect
you to the Google account sign-up page. You'll
need to provide some basic information like
your name, birth date, gender, and location. You
will also need to choose a name for your new Gmail
address. Once you create an account, you'll be able
to start adding contacts and adjusting your mail
settings.

To create an account:
1. Go to www.gmail.com.
2. Click Create account.

Page 2

3. The sign-up form will appear. Follow the directions by entering the required information.

4. Next, enter your phone number to verify your account. Google uses a two-step
verification process for your security.

Page 3

5. You will receive a text message from Google with a verification code. Enter the code to
complete the account verification.

6. Next, you will see a form to enter some of your personal information, like your name and
birthday.

 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

7. Review Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then click I agree.

8. Your account will be created.

Just like with any online service, it's important to choose a strong password—in other words, one
that is difficult for someone else to guess

Lesson 3: Signing in to your account

When you first create your account, you will be automatically signed in. Most of the time,
however, you'll need to sign in to your account and sign out when you're done with it. Signing
out is especially important if you're using a shared computer (for example, at a library or office)
because it prevents others from viewing your emails.
To sign in:
1. Go to www.gmail.com.
2. Type your user name (your email address) and password, then click Next.

To sign out:

In the top-right corner of the page, locate the circle that has your first initial (if you've already
selected an avatar image, it will show the image instead). To sign out, click the circle and
select Sign out.

Lesson 6: Sending Emails

Sending email
When you write an email, you'll be using the compose window. This is where you'll add
the email address of the recipient(s), the subject, and the body of the email, which is the
message itself. You'll also be able to add various types of text formatting, as well as one or
more attachments. If you want, you can even create a signature that will be added to the end of
every email you send.
The compose window
Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn about the different parts of the compose
window.

To send an email:
1. In the left menu pane, click the Compose button.

Page 11
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

2. The compose window will appear in the lower-right corner of the page.

3. You'll need to add one or more recipients to the To: field. You can do this by typing one
or more email addresses, separated by commas, or you can click To to select recipients
from your contacts, then click select.

Page 12
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

4. Type a subject for the message.

5. In the body field, type your message. When you're done, click Send.

If the person you are emailing is already one of your contacts, you can start typing that
person's first name, last name, or email address, and Gmail will display the contact below
the To: field. You can then press the Enter key to add the person to the To: field.

Lesson 7: Adding attachments

Adding attachments
An attachment is simply a file (like an image or document) that is sent along with your email. For
example, if you are applying for a job, you might send your resume as an attachment, with the
body of the email being the cover letter. It's a good idea to include a message in the body of your
email explaining what the attachment is, especially if the recipient isn't expecting an attachment.
Remember to attach your file before you click Send. Forgetting to attach a file is a surprisingly
common mistake.
To add an attachment:
1. While composing an email, click the paper clip icon at the bottom of the compose
window.

Page 14
 MODULE OFFICE APPLICATION SOFTWARE - SOFAPP

2. A file upload dialog box will appear. Choose the file you want to attach, then click Open.

3. The attachment will begin to upload. Most attachments will upload within a few seconds,
but larger ones can take longer.

4. When you're ready to send your email, click Send.

You can click Send before the attachment finishes uploading. It will continue to upload, and
Gmail will automatically send the email once it's done.
