PREFACE.

This book covers basics of ICT like Windows and Accessories, Ms Word Processor,
Ms Excel (Spread Sheets), Ms Power Point (Presentation), Ms Access(Data Bases),

A Complete practical guide to O, A ‘level and Institution. Page 3

Ms Publisher and web Design moreover each of them having over 25
resourceful questions for reference and simplicity.

In trying to write this book, I have made it so simple (Simple — Complex) bearing
in mind that most learners/students have insufficient or no background
knowledge about the use of computers.

This book does not only predispose on the student‘s use in school but to anyone
outside there that may be willing to learn how to launch and use IT
basicprograms.

It is however important to note that the author has carefully studied the habitual
National Examination computer studies/Sub ICT syllabi and has carefully
complied content and resourceful papers from resourceful heads, so interesting,
and moreover comprehensible to cater for this field of teaching ICT at different
levels. It is therefore important for the students and teachers to snatch
themselves a copy so as to ease the teaching — learning process.

This manuscript is also an inspiration from the 0‘ level and recently rationalized
secondary schools A‘ level Curriculum for ICT and Sub math that affect tertiary
and university entry prerequisite.

It has also been an inspiration that has been as a result of constructive criticism
from our fellows in the field and my own students that have driven me to come
up with such organized manuscript as a need to strengthen computer skills in
schools and at individual level.

Compiled content herein is to guide the teacher and learner during practical
based sessions and partly theory but majorly aims at equipping learners with
computer skills.

NB. To my fellow readers/users; I am aware of a number of ICT study pamphlets

and text books and guides that have already been published and steadily
supplied country wide. However, “Computer Studies/ICT Practical Guide” as
a guide book has steadily and carefully been compiled and revised ‗by the
teachers who have tested the hiccups in delivering of content in this noble field.

INTRODCTION TO WORD PROCESSING.

An electronic Word processor is application software that enables the user to

create, edit, format and print more professional text-rich documents.

A word processor (more formally known as document grounding/preparation

system) is a computer application used for the production (including
composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing) of any sort of printable
material

Computer word processing is application software that encompasses the

production of professional looking documents. These documents may include the
following; memos, circulars, preparing letters, greeting cards, doing simple office
works to mention but a few.

A Complete practical guide to O, A ‘level and Institution. Page 6

In a typical office where documents are typeset, formatting and editing of such
documents becomes a nightmare where manual modes of document production,
filling and transmission are used.

In order to minimize and eliminate such hustles, several electronic devices and
services by computerized systems and electronic typewriters have been
developed for more efficiency and effectiveness in document production. There
has always been a need to come up with better writing tools to improve on
efficiency and legibVility of the written work.

Therefore, computerized word processing systems have gotten easy to use

document edits and formats features capable of making documents look more
and more business like if well mastered. Some people and organizations earn
their living by producing documents for others using computerized systems.

Therefore, it is important that learners get introduced to the basic practical

knowledge and skills of word processing in order to be able to produce and
communicate documents better.

ELECTRONIC WORDPROCESSORS

Word has got a number of versions and these include the following
a) Ms Office 97,
d) Ms Office 2007
b) Ms Office 2000,
e) Ms Office 2010.
c) Ms Office 2003,
f) Ms Office 2013 and 2016

Examples of word processing software/applications include;

i. Ms Office word v. Apple Works.

ADVANTAGES OF WORD PROCESSOR PROGRAMS

• Easier to use due to automated features such as Word-wrap, autocorrect

and auto complete, find and replace feature etc.
• They have superior editing tools such as spelling checker, the Thesaurus,
etc., hence making editing easier.
• Can store documents for future retrieval.

A Complete practical guide to O, A ‘level and Institution. Page 7

 • They have superior formatting features that make a document more
appealing to the reader.
• The user can produce multiple copies more easily.
• Copy and move (cut) operation make it easier to manipulate a document.

FEATURES OF A WORD PROCESSOR WINDOW:

Most word processors have common features. Each task appears in a rectangular
area called an application window

1) Title bar.

A title bar indicates the task currently running. On its right are minimize, restore
and close button.

2) Menu bar.

The menu bar provides the user with a group of commands. Each command has a
drop down list, when click used to create and manipulate a document.

3) Toolbars/formatting tool bar

Toolbars consist of buttons of commands (icons) that provide shortcuts to

commands available in the menu bar. The two default toolbars are the standard
and formatting toolbars.

The status bar is the communication channel between the user and the application
program. It displays the current page, section line and activities such as file saving
progress.

CREATING A DOCUMENT USING MICROSOFT WORD.

While Word 97-2003 look alike and are compatible, Word 2007/10 radically deviates
from these versions in the look and menu layout. There is no File menu and once
text is highlighted/blocked, a floating formatting toolbar is displayed above the
selected text. Moreover, documents saved in 2007/10 format cannot be opened in
the previous version unless you save the file in compatibility mode.
The appearance a Microsoft word processor window

This is the work area where you create your document. It resembles an ordinary piece
of paper.

 Computers in business.
Different types of businesses commonly use computers to assist with day-to-day operating activities as:
 Sales Order Entry: procedures for handling customer orders, including receipt of the order and
verification of availability of ordered stock.
 Inventory Management and Control: procedures of tracking, counting, and reordering stock
items.
 Personnel Management: procedures for maintaining employee information (such as hire date,
salary, performance rating, and date of last review) for both development and reporting purposes.
 Payroll: procedures for producing paychecks and reports on employee compensation.
 Accounting: procedures for maintaining the company’s financial records.
 Security: procedures for controlling who has access to what data and information at what times
and where, and who may enter data to a computer-based information system.
 Investment and General Financial Management: procedures a company institutes, follows, and
reviews to guarantee profit and growth.
Computers are also being used in business to collect and analyze data, to produce concise information for
management in a clear format suitable for making decisions, and to help managers avoid being overloaded
with unnecessary information.

To keep up to date with detailed information about how computers are being used in the various sections of
the business and banking world, consult well-known business publications such as Business Week, Fortune,
and The Wall Street Journal, as well as computer publications such as PC World and Macworld.

QUESTION 3.

HUMAN BEINGS

Most infants are guided through life by a parent or guardian and taught how to
talk, walk, eat and generally behave. The socialization process begins as soon as
we are born when we being to imitate people around us, copying the shapes and

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 21

 noises in our environment. Many other people and circumstances affect our
appearance, attitude and behavior, such as work, lifestyle, ethnicity, family,
environment, peer group (friends), gender, media etc.

Human beings are very different throughout the world and opinions of what
constitutes a natural or nurtured human being differ enormously. Without
socialization, an individual would bear little resemblance to any human being
defined as ―normal‖ by the standards of his or her society.

There have been some instances where a person has been deprived of the
assistance of a parent or any other social and human presence. These beings
are often referred to as feral people meaning ―wild‖.

An example of feral people was the Wolf-infants of Midnapore who were

reportedly found in a wolf den in a Bengal forest in 1920. The infants, age two
and eight, walked on all fours, preferred a diet of raw meat, howled like wolves
and lacked any form of speech.

The bidding procedure to host the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups began in January
2009, and national associations had until 2 February 2009 to register their interest.
Initially, nine countries placed bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but Mexico later
withdrew from proceedings, and Indonesia's bid was rejected by FIFA in February
2010 after the Indonesian government failed to submit a letter to support the bid.
During the bidding process, the three remaining non-UEFA nations (Australia, Japan,
and the United States) gradually withdrew from the 2018 bids, and the UEFA
nations were thus ruled out of the 2022 bid. As such, there were eventually four
bids for

Introduction:
The term ―tree‖ is used in computer science to denote a particular type of
abstract data structure.

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 31

Trees contain data in structures called nodes, which are in turn linked to other
nodes in the tree. Every tree has a primary node called a root, from which all
other branch nodes in the tree

Root node

Figure 5
Leaf node

Descends; In continuance with the botanical naming system, they have no

descendants, these are called nodes.
Why should you use trees?

Primarily, trees are useful for organizing data in a manner that makes it efficient
to retrieve it. To illustrate this, is a picture of collection of data organized in
linked list structure. A binary tree is made up of nodes that can have most two
offspring (children). The root node is the node that is not a child of any other
node, and is found at the top of the tree structure. A node with no children is
referred to as a leaf node. Nodes that are not root nodes or leaf nodes are often
referred to as noneleaf nodes.

QUESTION 19

Type the text below using a word processing p1gram: choosing word processing
software.

Word processing is using the computer to enter, store, manipulate, and print text
in letters, reports, and books and so on. Once you have used word processing,
you will probably wonder (like million others before you) how in the world you
ever survived without it.

As more word processing packages come on the market, choosing the right
software can become very confusing. Nevertheless, there is probably a word
processing packages that will serve your needs .As you begin looking, ask
yourself these questions:
i. What type of document am I
ii. Now processing?
iii. What types of features do I

Needs?
Want?

Document types can range from simple letters and memos to proposals, reports,
legal documents, books newsletters, scientific papers, form letters, and so on.
The point is matching the features you need with the features in the software
packages. For example, if you, write articles that require references, you will
need the footnoting features; if you develop a newsletter, having the

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 36

 multicolumn layout feature would superscripts (X2+Y2) and subscripts (A21);
and if you send ―personalized‖ form letters the mail-merge feature is a
necessity.

A number of add-on programs are available to enhance the functionality of word

processing packages. These include:
On-line thesaurus
Spelling checker
Grammar checker
Style checker
Idea processor (outline)
What you can do with word processing is limited only by your imagination and
willingness to learn the system. Good luck in your computer-assisted writing
adventures-now and in the future!
(i). Insert the header the word ―Tips‖ on the left hand corner and ―word
processing on the right hand corner.
(ii). Bold the heading font size 22 — point underline and centre it.
(iii). In paragraph starting with the ―document‖ bold the second statement.
(iv). Make 2 the superscript of X and Y in expressing (X2+Y2) and 21 the
subscripts of A in the expression (A21).

(v). Insert bullets on the list of functionality of word processing packages

(vi). Insert a footnote of your name on the left and page number on the right
and corner.
(vii). Use the appropriate format to replace the word ―notation‖ with the other
of the same meaning.
(viii). Indent the whole document by ―0.5‖ to both the left and the right hand
side.
(ix). Insert a clip picture in the middle of the paragraph, which begins with
―document‖.

(x). Save your work under your name.

(xi). Print and copy your work.

QUESTION 20

Historical images of Apartheid in South Africa

HUMAN RIGHTS.

Apartheid consisted of numerous laws that allowed the ruling white minority in
south Africa to., segregate, exploit and terrorize the vast majority: Africans,
mostly, but also Asians and colored-people of mixed race. In white-ruled South
Africa, black people were denied basic human rights and political rights. Their
labor was exploited, their lives segregated.

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 37

Under Apartheid, racist beliefs were enshrined in law and any criticism of the law
was suppressed. Apartheid was racism made law. It was a system dictated in the
minutest detail as to how and where the large black majority would live, work
and die. This system of institutionalized racial discrimination defied the principles
of the United Nations charter and the universal declaration of Human Rights.

In 1976 the United Nations unanimously condemned the elevation of one of the
―homeland‖, Transkei, into an independent state because it remained
dependent on South Africans. Not one country in the world recognized the new
state. In 1982 almost one million black South Africans were transferred to
another country.
Swaziland……… without their having any say in the matter.
Ultimately, Blacks demonstrated, held strikes and rioted over such discriminatory
practices.

As a result diplomatic pressure mounted abroad for change. In 1990, Nelson

Mandela, who had devoted his life to democracy, equality and learning for all
South Africans, was released from prison after serving almost 30 years for those
beliefs.

He was elected president of the African National Congress the following year, and
in 1993 received the Noble peace prize on behalf of all South Africans who
suffered and sacrificed so much to bring peace to their country. On10 th, May
1994, Nelson Mandela was elected South Africa‘s first black president, in that
country‘s first truly democratic election.

QUESTION 21

Typeset the text below using a word processing program:

ON DECISION TO BUY

The members of the Exchange require that forward payment for shares be made
to reduce defaults. On making the buying order, the client will fill in client
information, an order form and sign a purchase transfer form and then pay for
the number of shares he/she is willing to buy and the broker will issue him/her
with a receipt. On the day the order is executed at the exchange, the broker then
will send his/her buying client a purchase contract note showing the number of
shares purchased, the price per share and the commission chargeable. A
purchase contract note is a legal document that acts as proof of ownership until
the share certificate arrives therefore it must be kept safely.

At the same time, the broker forwards the signed purchase Transfer Form to the
registrar through the exchange. The registrar upon receiving your transfer form
through your broker issues a new certificate in your name via the same broker.
This certificate is a legal document confirming ownership and should be kept
safely.

QUESTION 27

Using Microsoft word, type the statements below and answer questions that
follow.

IRR analysis is generally used to evaluate the projects cash flows, rather than the
income from the project that would be shown on an income statement. (Also
known as the profit and loss statement) Why? Because income on a P&L reflects
depreciation, but depreciation is not an out-of-pocket expense. For instance, if
revenue of $10,000 is reduced to $7000 of income because of a $3000
depreciation deduction, you still have the use of the full $10,000. So the cash
flow figure of $10,000 is usually the more instructive one to look at. However, if

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 42

you are very concerned about the appearance of your income statement (for
example, if you anticipate putting the business up for sale or seeking major
financing in the future, or if you are under stockholder pressure for increased
income) you may decide that the income figure is more appropriate to use.
How do you compute the IRR? The easiest way to use a good financial calculator.

use the present value tables located in Business Tools.

QUESTION 28

Using Microsoft, type the statements bellow exactly as they are and answer the
questions that follow.

Tips for financing a Major Purchase

Don‘t fall for expensive service contracts. Service contracts that are pitched to
you when you buy a piece of business equipment are often a good deal for the
supplier but not for you. In most cases, the amounts you would spend on a
service contract is wasted money. This is especially true in the case of generic
equipment that normally carries a warranty any way if something is going to go
wrong, it will generally do so in the first 30 to 60 days, when your warranty
should cover the problem.

There may be situations where service contracts are a good deal. For example, if
the equipment was custom-built and expected to need regular maintenance in
the future, if spare parts and knowledgeable labor will be hard to find, or if
getting repairs done immediately is extremely important to your business‘s
operation, you might decide to purchase a service contract on a trial basis.

Compare the NPV of the loan payments. If you have decided to purchase a major
asset and are planning to take out a loan, a good way to compare the options
available is to do a net present value analysis of your cash flows under the
various interest rates and terms your local leaders have available. Your cash flow

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 43

projections should consider the loan payment out flows as well as their venue
inflows that would result from your purchase or projects.

Required:

a) Format the title to, font size 18, centered, bolded with upper case.
b) Justify the statements.

QUESTION 29

Use of DDT welcome

Malaria is the biggest health problem in Uganda and in general, Africa. Its toll in
Africa is the heaviest yearly. Ninety percent of malaria deaths occur in Africa. It
is responsible for over 300 million cases of accurate illness each year leading to
deaths. On the economic front, malaria costs Africa more than $12 billion
annually. It has slowed economic growth in Africa countries by 1.3% per year.
Had the disease been wiped out decades ago, $100 billion would have been
added to sub Saharan Africa‘s current GDP of $300 billion this year.

Malaria transmission occurs by mosquitoes moving to houses, entering during

the early evening resting indoors and, at some point during the night, landing on
humans and biting. During the act of biting the mosquitoes might acquiremalaria
parasites and become infected, or if already infected, they might transmit
malaria to another human.

DDT residues on house on house walls can alter this sequence of mosquito
behavior.

The non-contact repellent action of DDT residues can prevent a malaria mosquito
from entering a house. If the mosquito enters, in spite of repellent action, then
the contact irritant action might cause it to exit before biting. If the contact
irritant action falls then contact toxicity might still result in mosquito death, after
prolonged contact with DDT - treated surfaces.

The Storks and the Urchin

Of all the boys in the town, the most forward in singing nonsensical verse was
always the same one who had begun teasing the storks, a little urchin not more
than six years old. The young storks, indeed, fancied him a hundred years old,
because he was bigger than either their father or mother and what should they
know about the ages of children, or grown-up human beings!
All their schemes of ravage were aimed at this little boy; he had been the first to
tease them, and had been the first tease them, and he teased them still.

The young storks were highly excited about it, and the older they grew the
lessthey were inclined to endure persecution. Their mother, in order to pacify
them, at last promised that they should be revenged, but not until the last dayof
their stay in that place. Hans Christian Andersen

QUESTION 31

(a) Using a word processing application of your choice typeset the following text
as it appears and save as „flow chart”

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the ―flow of data

through an information system, modeling its process aspects. A DFD is often
used as a preliminary step to create an overview of the system, which can later
be elaborated.

In the late 1970s data-flow diagrams (DFDs) were introduced and popularized for
structured analysis and design. DFDs show the flow of data from external entities
into the system, they showed how data moved from one process to another, as
well as its logical storage.

There are only four symbols:

(i) Squares representing external entities, which are sources or destinations of
data.
(ii) Rounded rectangles representing processes, which take data as input, do
something to it, and output it.
(iii)Arrows representing the data flows, which can either, be electronic data or
physical items.
(iv) Open-ended rectangles representing data stores, including electronic
stores such as databases or XML files and physical stores such as or filing
cabinets or stacks of paper.

Six Reasons Remote Workers Are Good for Business

Inc.com, May 11
When it comes to workplace flexibility, allowing employees to work from
somewhere other than the office, or at times other than from 9 to 5, can make a

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 47

big difference in both productivity and worker retention. Simply put, working
remotely is good for the bottom line on several levels: remote workers are more
productive, stay longer, and report higher levels of happiness. Office distractions
aside, not having to deal with the friction of simply getting into the office is huge
for some employees who are less stressed not having to commute.
In terms of worker productivity, a recent Stanford study found call centre workers
working from home outperformed peers in the office because they took shorter
breaks and used fewer sick leaves. They also reported higher levels of happiness
and quit less often. However, some workers didn‘t do as well at home due to
loneliness so it‘s important to make sure remote work is a good fit according to
each employee‘s personality. A Gallup study found that not only do remote
workers log more hours, but also they‘re slightly more engaged than their office
counterparts. Specifically, the research showed people who worked remotely
part time were the most engaged due to their ability to enjoy the best of both
worlds-the opportunity to have in-person relationships with others in the office,
while also being able to reap the benefits of working from home, such as fewer
distractions. Remote workers are less stressed and happier to contribute, making
them more loyal to the company. The reasons are:

Table 7.
 Remote workers are more productive and stick around longer
 Employees who work from home are more engaged
 Remote workers are less stressed
 You save money on real estate and utilities
 You hire from a wider talent pool
 You can reduce your carbon footprint

c) Copy the work from page 1 and paste it into page 2.

POWER POINT
(ELECTRONIC PRESENTATION)
A presentation program is computer program/application software that is used
to display information normally inform of a slide show.

It is important to note that communicating effectively to bigger audiences is a

challenge to many people. However, the versatility of ICTs has played a big role
in enhancing the ease and impact of the presentation process.

Therefore, presentation program helps the presenter with a wide range of tools
to clearly structure his ideas and offer the participants with multimodal
information that is so engaging.

There are many areas where power point can be used, these include;

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 49

 a. Professional education. (work-related)
b. Entertainment.
c. General communication.

Presentation programs can either supplement or replace the use of older visual
aid technology, such as pamphlets, handouts, chalkboards, flip charts, posters,
slides and overhead transparencies.

A presentation program (power point) typically includes three major functions i.e.

i. An Editor that allows texts to be inserted and formatted.

ii. A Method majorly for inserting and manipulating graphic images.
iii. A Slide show that is a system to display the content.

Examples of presentation packages/software include the following;

• Microsoft power point

 Harvard graphics.
• Open office
presentation  Coral
presentation  Lotus
freelance graphics 
Keynote.

With presentation, texts, audios, graphics, movies and other objects are
positioned on individual pages or slides in a given presentation.

4. Design temperate: This is a co-ordinate packaged deal. It is created so that

even though different slide types can have different layouts and graphics, the
whole presentation goes together as an attractive package.

5. Transition: Slide transmissions are visual movements as one slide changes

another.

6. Animation and animation schemes: these are visual effects applied to

individual items on the slide such as graphics, tittles or even bullet point.

7. Slide master: this is a default design temperate/parent slide template which

other child slides by default take it‘s formatting. All slides in a presentation
are designed using the font colors and styles and graphics in a slide master.

8. Ribbon: This is a strip of buttons across the top of the main window.

Multimedia in PowerPoint.
This is both audio/sound, video and pictures but in motion/movement state.
9. Video/movies clips: Video clips are added to enhance your presentation.
This can show authentication, movement or simulated movement, which
makes the presentation more interesting. Movement is either by click of the
mouse or automatic.

10. Hyperlinks.

A hyperlink is an element in an electronic document that links/leads you to

another place in the same document or to an entirely different document.

 (Ms. EXCELL).

Throughout the ages, people have always wanted to calculate. Tools such as the
abacus were invented by the earl Chinese to help keep track of large numbers.
About thirty years ago, students only had pen, paper, slide rules and
mathematical tables to help them in their mathematical examinations. There
were no such things like calculators and certainly, no personal computer.

Calculators eventually became an everyday tool and certainly helped to speedup

calculations and improve on the accuracy. Even then, they weren‘t really good
enough to solve complex problems or deal with large amount of repetitive work.
With advancement in technology, spreadsheets were developed.

An electronic spreadsheet: is application software used to calculate, organize and

analyze numerical data.

Or

It can also define as the intersection of rows and columns.

Or

One can also say that it is a piece of software used to work out calculations.

A spread sheet can do a lot more than simply adding up a column of numbers
spread sheets can handle financial calculations for a large business, calculate

Probability or even other statistical information, do complex trigonometry and

make colorful graphs and charts.

Examples of spreadsheets applications include;

(i) Microsoft Excel,

(ii) Lotus 1-2-3
(iii)Corel Quattro Pro.
(iv) VisiCalc
(v) MS -DOS
(vi) Open Office.Org Calc

Components of an electronic spreadsheet.

• Worksheet - A rectangular grid made u of rows and columns:

• Database - Enable the •user to perform functions such as sort, filter,

subtotaling and consolidation on worksheet data. A spreadsheet file can also be
saved with a
.dbf extension to make it accessible from other applications using a db engine

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 67

• Graphs - Visual representation of data on a chart.

Advantages of Electronic spreadsheets.

• They have large worksheets compared to manual spreadsheets.

• They automatically adjust the result whenever a value is changed in a cell(s)
that is referenced by a formula.
• They have superior editing and formatting features hence producing neat work.
• Easier entry of data due to typing aids such as auto complete, autocorrect, copy
and move
• It is possible to forecast or predict the outcome of changing values in one or
more cells.
• Analytical graphs or charts lets one provide visual representation of data from a
worksheet.

• Easy management of large amount of data using data management features

such as sorting, filtering, data validation and subtotaling.

Applications of Electronic Spreadsheets

• Statistical analysis such as mean, standard deviation, variance etc.

• Accounting such as balance sheet preparation, loan repayment, and mortgage

and investments analysis.

• Forecasting — What if analysis, solver, goal seek and scenario in most

spreadsheets evaluate the effect of changing a value to achieve a certain goal
for managerial purpose.

• Mathematical and scientific solution such as arithmetic, trigonometric, rounding

off and multiplication.

Features of a work sheet (Work book basic features)

Apart from the title bar, Menu bar, Standard toolbar and Status bar: found in Word
processing, Spreadsheets have the following additional features.

1. Formula bar. Is an area where a cell entry or a formula is displayed

before being entered into the selected cell

2. Worksheets. A worksheet is the area made up of rows and columns

where data is entered. In Excel, a spreadsheet file is referred to as a workbook
which consists of one or more related worksheets.

3. Cells. A cell is an intersection between a row and a column. A column is a

vertical arrangement of cells labeled A, B, C while a row is the horizontal
arrangement labeled 1, 2, 3.

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 68

Worksheet tabs. These are located at the bottom of a spreadsheet. They show
the number of worksheets in the workbook. Note that one worksheet may have
several pages.

4. Searching and sorting: this gives the u, ability to search the worksheet
for any phrase, number or even other texts. It even makes the user scroll
between the search results.

5. Import and export: spreadsheets can be transferred onto and off the
mobile phone using a window explorer on the d. Spreadsheets can also be e-
mailed as attachments, from within the spreadsheet application.

A workbook window.

1. Entering Data into a Worksheet.

When entering data item into the work sheet, the entry is displayed in the
formula bar before you move to another cell. To place the content to the
selected cell, press Enter key or an arrow key or click into another cell. Below are
the three main cell entries:
• Labels -alphanumeric characters or text that describes the content of a
row or column e.g. names.

• Values - numeric characters 0-9 and dates that can be manipulated

mathematically.

• Formula and Functions - while a formula refers to a mathematical

expression and it begins with an equal sign, a function is used to perform complex
calculations that cannot be done manually.

PERFORMING CALCULATIONS IN A WORKSHEET

1. Using basic formulae.
A formula is a mathematical expression used to solve mathematical problems. A
formula must start with an equal sign (=) while cell addresses are used as
operands instead of values.
a. Arithmetic operators.
• These mostly follow the rule similar to mathematical concept of BODMAS.
I.e. whatever is in parenthesis is evaluated first. Multiplication and division
are evaluated from left to right while addition and subtraction are
evaluated last.
Summary of operators used to create formulae.
Table 8
Symbol Description Example

/ Division = A2/B2

* Multiplication =A2*B2

+ Addition =A2+B2

- Subtraction =B2-A2

b. Relational operators

A relational operator returns either true or false depending on the magnitude of

the value being evaluated. Summary or relational operators

Table 9.

Symbol Description Example

= Equal to =A2=B2

> Greater than =A2>B2

< Less than =A2<B2

<> No equal to =B2<>B2

<= Less than or equal to =A2<=B2

>= Greater than or equal to

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 74

2. Cell Referencing

There are three types of cell referencing used when creating formulae and
manipulating cell(s), content:

a. Relative referencing. When.‘ you copy a formula that contains cell

references, say A3, the references adjust to their new location. E.g. If C1
containing a formula =A1+B1 is copied to C2, the reference changes to
A2+B2.

b. Absolute referencing. The reference is4ikde to a specific address and does

not change even if the formula is copied to another cell. In Excel an absolute
cell reference is made by placing a dollar sign before the referencing. $A$2,
i.e. if the result in C1 is 170 if absolute reference is used, 170 will be copied to
C2.

c. Mixed cell referencing. This is a combination of relative and absolute

reference,
e.g. $A3 or A$3. In the first case the column reference is absolute while the row
is relative; in the second case the column reference is relative while the row
reference is absolute.

2. Using in-built functions

A function is a predefined formula used to perform calculations. A function must

also start with an (=) sign followed by the function name and arguments.
Arguments are numeric, logical values or text enclosed in parenthesis. E.g., in
=SUM (A3:F3), SUM is the function that adds the range A3 to F3 which is the
argument.
Functions are categorized according to the nature of problems they work on.
These include:
• Mathematical
• Statistical
• Logical
• Date and time.

3. To use a function from any category:

• On the Formula menu, click Function. Alternatively, click the fx button on

the standard toolbar.
• Select insert
• In the function dialog box displayed select the category.
• In the function list box, select a function.
• Specify the function argument then click OK.

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 75

 Figure 10

4. Using Mathematical Functions.

• Commonly used mathematical functions are:

• SUM () - Adds all the value in the selected range of cells. For example, if A3,
B3 and C3 contains 20, 50, and 80 respectively, =SUM (A3:C3) returns 150.
• ROUND () Rounds a number to a specified number of decimal places. Zero
rounds off the number to the nearest integer. E.g., =ROUND (49.769,1)
returns 49.8, while
=ROUND (49.69, 0) returns 50 and 70 respectively.
• SUMIF () — conditionally adds the specified cells according to the set
criteria. =SUMIF (A3:A1O, ―>= 1000‖), returns a value if, and only if, the
sum is greater than or equal to 1000.
• PRODUCT ()- Multiplies all the values in the argument. Eg, =PRODUCT (40,
3, 2) returns 240.

5. Using statistical functions.

• The commonly used statistical functions are:

• AVERAGE () — Returns the arithmetic mean of its arguments. E.g., if A3, B3
and C3 contains 20, 50 and 80 respectively, =AVERAGE (A3:C3) returns75.
• COUNT ()- Counts the number of cells that contain numbers within a range.
E.g., =COUNT (A3:C3) returns 3.

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 76

 • COUNTIF - Conditionally counts the number of cells within a range that
meets a given condition. E.g., if A3, B3, C3, D3 and E3 contains 20,50,80,60
and 45 respectively then =COUNTIF (A3:E3, ―>50) returns 2.
• MAX 0 - Returns the largest value in a set of values or within a range. E.g.,
=MAX (A3:E3) for the set values above returns 80.
• MIN () - Returns the least value in a set of values or within a range. E.g.,
=MIN (A3:E3) returns 20.
6. Using logical Functions
The commonly used statistical functions are:

IF ( ) - Returns a value or label if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE and

another if it evaluates to FALSE. Eg, if; A3,B3,C3,D3, and E3 contains a set of
marks 35,50,80,60 and 45 and grades are to be awarded as follows:

80 - 100 A
60 - 79 B
40 - 59 C
Below 40 Fail,

To assign a grade, use;

=IF (A3>=80, ―A‖, IF (A3>=60, ―B‖, IF (A3>=40, ―C‖, ―Fail‖)))

• AND () - Returns true if all its arguments are true or false if any argument is
false. E.g., =AND (3+2=5, 2+2=4) returns true.
• OR () — Returns true if any of its arguments is true or false if both
arguments are false. E.g., =OR (3+2=7, 2+2=4) returns true.
• NOT ( ) — Negates the unary operand. E.g., =NOT (.3+2=5) returns false.

THE VLOOKUP FUNCTION.

NB. It‘s important to note that this function is only applicable in Subsidiary ICT (A
‗level) but not at O‘level. This is according to UNEB standards. But it is vital if
students at all levels understood how the function is applied.

The V in VLOOKUP stands for vertical. Use VLOOKUP instead of HLOOKUP when
your comparison values are located in a column to the left of the data that you
want to find.

THE VLOOKUP SYNTAX

VLOOKUP: this is a function that looks for a value in the left most column ofthe
table and then returns a value in the same row from a column you specify.
By default the table must be sorted in ascending order
Function

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 77

VLOOKUP (Look up_value, table_array,col_index_num ,[range_lookup])

Lookup value - The value to search in the first column of the table array.
Lookup value can be a value or a reference. If lookup_value is smaller than the
smallest value-in the first column of table_array, VLOOKUP returns the #N/A
error value.

Table_array- Two or more columns of data. Use a reference to a range or a

range name. The values in the first column of table_array are the values
searched by lookup_value. These values can be text, numbers, or logical values.
Uppercase and lowercase texts are equivalent.

Col_index_num- The column number in table_array from which the matching

value must be returned. A col_index_num of 1 returns the value in the first
column in table_array; a col_index_num of 2 returns the value in the second
column in table_array, and so on. If col_index_num is:

i. Less than 1, VLOOKUP returns the #VALUE! Error value.

ii. Greater than the number of columns in table_array, VLOOKUP returns the
#REF! Error value.

Range_lookup- A logical value that specifies whether you want VLOOKUP to find
an exact match or an approximate match:

i. If TRUE or omitted, an exact or approximate match is returned. If an exact

match is not found, the next largest value that is less than lookup_value is
returned.
The values in the first column of table_array must .be placed in ascending
sort order; otherwise, VLOOKUP may not give the correct value. For more
information, see Sort data.
ii. If FALSE, VLOOKLUP will only find an exact match. In this case, the values
in the first column of table_array do not need to be sorted. If there are
two or more values in the first column of table_array that match the
lookup_value,

the first value found is used. If an exact match is not found, the error value
#N/A is returned.

Remarks

 When searching text values in the first column of table_array, ensure that
the data in the first column of table_array does not have leading spaces,
trailing spaces, inconsistent use of straight (‗ or ‗) and curly (‗ or ―)

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 78

 quotation marks, or nonprinting characters. In these cases, VLOOKUP may
give an incorrect or unexpected value. For more information
 When searching number or date values, ensure that the data in the first

column of table_array is not stored as text values. In this case, VLOOKUP

may give an incorrect or unexpected value. For more information, see

Convert numbers stored as text to numbers.

 If range_lookup is FALSE and lookup_value is text, then you can use the

wildcard characters, question mark (?) and asterisk (*), in lookup_value. A

question mark matches any single character; an asterisk matches any

sequence of characters. If you want to find an actual question mark or

asterisk, type a tilde (~) preceding the character.

7. Using date and time functions

Some date and time functions include:

• TODAY () - Returns a number that represents today‘s date. The function

takes no arguments. E.g., =TODAY () returned 09/01/2008.

• NOW () - Returns the current date and time formatted as date and time. It

takes no arguments. E.g., =NOW () returned 19/02/2007 00:02.

• DATE () — Function Returns a serial number that represents a particular

date. Ms Excel uses year 1900 serial number1. E.g., =DATE (107, 1, 4)

returns January 4, 2007. Year = (1900+ 107), month=l, day =4.

• HOUR () ,MINUTE() or SECOND ()- Functions returns the current hour as

number 0 to 23, minute from 0 to 59 and seconds from 0 to 59

respectively.

 MICROSOFT OFFICE ACCESS

(DATA BASES).

A database is a collection of arranged data in a way that allows access retrieval,

and use of the data.

A database is an organized collection of data. It is considered to be organized

because the data is stored in categories that are accessible ma logical or
practical manner. Data can be anything that has significance to the organization
the system is serving.
Examples of paper databases
1. Television guides 5. Libraries
2. Dictionaries 6. Schools
3. Receipt cards 7. Business directories
4. Telephone books etc. 8. Electricity
Examples of Computerized data bases.

1. Data base systems in

banks
2. Phone inquiry systems
3. Organizations like
water
4. Fight information.
Data base software or database management system (DBMS) allows the user to
create, access and manage a database. Most PC databases consist of a collection
of tables organized in rows and columns.

Common terms used in data base

a. Files:
A file is a large organized data structure that contains related data such as
records. Files are used for storing programs and data in secondary storage. This
is extremely important since the main memory is volatile:

b. A Record:
Every entry of data is referred to as a record. A record is a group of related items
that we can treat as a single group. A record is a row in a table that contains
information about a given person, product, or event. (An individual entry in a
table)

c. A Field:
A field is a column of similar information or group of vertically arranged data that
contains similar, information of the same data type. Or it can be a column in the
table that contains specific piece of information within a record.

d. Table structure:

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 110

This refers to the number of fields, field name (s), field length and data types in a
database table.

A field name is assigned to each field to identify the different fields.

e. Field length.
This is the maximum number of characters that can be stored for data in a
particular field.
The data type of a field specifies the type of data that the field can contain.
f. Data Validation:
This is the process of comparing the data entered with a set of predefined rules
or values to check if data is acceptable. Examples of data types used in
Data base:
a. Text type: This contains letters, numbers or special characters.
b. Numeric type: This contains numbers only.
c. Currency type: This contains dollar, pound cents etc.
d. Date and time type: This contains text of any kind or length.
e. OLE object: object linking and embedding. It includes objects, graphics or
other binary data.
f. Lookup wizard: When the value that you need exists in another table or
from a list of statistical values you use a lookup wizard to help you
establish a link to the table or define the combo box that will display the
list of values on a form or report other data type may include;
g. Boolean type

What is a web site?
One can define a web site as a collection of related web pages.
Or
This is a document available on the World Wide Web that is created using html
(Hyper Text Markup Language) and can be viewed with an internet browser. For
instance Google, Netscape, explorer among others.

A web page can contain graphics, image, text, links and other multimedia
components. A web page can be made up of a number of separate paged
documents. It is normally a collection of documents that make up a website.
A home page: this is main page or the cover page of the web document that
contains an index or table of content to the rest of the documents.
Usually, a web site after being fully developed/designed, it is hosted on at least
one web server that is accessible via a network such as a the internet network,
or any other available private network.

The most common way to get a web site is to feed in or enter that Uniform
Resource Locator (URL).
• A Uniform Resource Locator is a unique address of the file that is accessible
over the internet.

INTRODUCTION TO BASIC HTML.

A html stand for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is specifically a language for
displaying web pages. It is not a programming language but a markuplanguage.
A markup language is a set of markup tags.
Tags majorly give the browser instructions on page display. They include
thestarting tag (<) and the closing tag (>) they are normally enclosed in angle
brackets i.e.
<Html>. They normally come in pairs e.g. <h1> and </h1>. The first tag in the
pair is the “start tag” and the second is the “end tag”.
A html file is a text containing small markup tags.
A markup tag is one that tells the web browser how to display the page. AHTML
must have an htm or html file extension. A HTML file can he created using a
simple text editor.

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 143

Let‟s try to work out with HTML
In window environment, follow the following steps.

1. Click start on the

task bar
2. Select all programs
3. Select accessories
4. Select notepad.
Here, the first tag on your html document is <html>. This tells your browserthat
this is the start of an html document.
The last tag should be </html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the end
of the html document.
The text between the <head> tag and </head> tag is the header information.
Header information is not displayed in the browser window.
The text between the <title> ta and </title> tag is the title of your document.
The title is displayed in your browsers‘ caption (title bar).
The text between the <body> tag and Thody> tag is the text that will be
displayed in your browser.
Example;
<Html>
<Head>
<Title> title of the page </ title>
</head>
<Body>
This is my first home page <b> this text is bold </b>
</body>
</html>
Save the file as ―home page.htm‖ or homepage.html‖ on your desktop.
Elaboration;
In the above example <b> tag and </b> tag makes the text between bold.
Open the file you have just created by using the browser on your computer.
(Internet explorer, Firefox or opera)
You should then be able to see an address in the dialog box for example
“C:/desktop/homepage.htm” this is if you are using windows XP. And for
windows
7, one hou1d be able to see file:///C:users/usernarne/Dsektop/homepage. htm
Saving a html file:

 Select file (Alt + F) then you will be presented with a dialog box  Select
Save As.
 Make a new folder and name it whichever name you want. Then open it.

A complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 144

  Type ―page 1‖.html on file name  Select the destination/file location 
Then save.
Changing colors:
To change background colors, keep the other line written and follow the following
steps;

 <BODY BGCOLOR= ―#CCFFCC‖>

</BODY>.
Note: if the background colors are specified that is not one of the known colors,
thenthe browser will usually pick the closest of these colors to use.
Formatting tags. (Bolding)
We can make things bold by

 = <BODY>something or what you want to bold <B>cool</B></BODY>

 Cool
 What we are trying to tell the browser is that at the <B> start making
things bold
 And at the </B>stop making things bold.
Formatting tags (italics)
The same principal applies to italics

 <BODY>something<
 rz‘ <B>cool</B>‘</BODY>.

Something really cool.

Underlining

 <BODY><U>something or what you want to underline </U></>really</

I>
 <B>cool</B></BODY>
Something really cool

Font sizing

To change the font size, you need to first add the font tag

 First add the <FONT> tags.

 <BODY>something to font size
 <FONT>cool</FONT></BODY then specify a SIZE attribute.
 <BODY> something really <FONTSIZE=6>cool</FONT></BODY>

i.e. something really cool
