THE SCOPE OF THE SUBJECT
EXPECTED OUTPUTS
In this subject, most of your outputs will be done in a computer but to those who don’t have a desktop
computer or laptop computer, the activities that I have prepared for you can be done using a smartphone
with an office productivity software and graphic design softwares installed in it. The software that you will
be using is not limited to Microsoft office programs only. You can also use free software like WPS office
for electronic spreadsheet and other graphics design software aside from GIMP. Aside from your learning
packets, there are activities that will be printed in a separate paper or if you don’t have a printer at home,
you may send it via email.
As you continue working in Excel, you will encounter a lot of fresh new ideas for presenting the data in
your sheets. You can even add pictures, apply styles and colors and even add border and shading depending
on how you will present your sheet to your viewers. Would you like to practice being an artist and try to be
a Michelangelo in electronic spreadsheet? Let us start by introducing you to the basics. Excel has different
styles to choose from which you can apply in your worksheet. Text can be displayed in bold, italic or
underlined format.
You can format or change the way the character on how a cell will appear. You may do this by changing
the font, style, size, and colors of the text. There are three basic ways to change the appearance of data:
using the tools on the toolbars, by displaying the Format Cells dialog box, and by using shortcut keys.
1. Select the cell, range of cells, or character that you want to format.
2. On the formatting toolbar/ Ribbon, do any of the following:
Click the Font Size box to change the size of the text.

Strikeout Ctrl+5
You can add number formats such as currency, symbols, decimal markers, percent signs and, other symbols
which will help you identify the type of data you present in a cell. A formatted number makes it look more
professional and is often easier to read than the unformatted number.
To easily format the numbers, you can use the number styles in the Number Group. See the different styles
below:
Currency Style- This option adds dollar sign with comma and two decimal places.
Percent Style- This option multiplies the number by 100 and adds a percent sign.
Comma Style- This option adds a comma for every three digits to the left of the decimal
place with two decimal places.

Number Format Shortcut Key
Currency Ctrl+Shift+$
Percent Ctrl+Shift+%
Select the cells you want to format. To display more or fewer digits after the decimal point, click
Increase Decimal or Decrease Decimal on the Number Group.
You can also type dates and times in the cell in the same way you are accustomed to in writing. Electronic
Spreadsheet recognizes dates and times entered in any format. To format date and time, follow these steps:

Removing Borders
Shading a cell means adding pattern to the cell to highlight it or mark it as important information in your
worksheet.
Please proceed to page 10 now for the directions and for you to write your answer to the questions.
In this lesson, you will learn more about rows and columns and the various formats you can apply to them.
For example, you already have completed your worksheet but you forgot to insert some important data in
a cell or there may be instances where you would like to hide a particular column or row which has
confidential data. You can also modify your row and column formats as well as change the orientation of
the data in your sheets.
Inserting rows and columns is required to add more data in between rows and columns in a table.
Inserting Cell/s
The insert dialog box will appear with choices on how the cell will be inserted.

Inserting Rows
To insert a single row, select a cell or the row heading which you want to insert the new row. For
example, if you want to insert a new row above row 5, click the row heading 5.
To insert multiple rows, select the rows above which you want to insert the new rows. Select the same
number of rows that you want to insert. For example, if you want to insert 5 rows above row 5, select
rows 5 to 10.
To insert nonadjacent rows, hold down Ctrl key while selecting the non-adjacent rows. For example,
if you want to insert rows before 5, 8, and 11, select rows 5, 8, and 11 while holding the Ctrl key.
Inserting Columns
To insert a single column, select a cell in the column or the column heading immediately to the right
where you want to insert the new column. For example, if you want to insert a new column before
column D, click the column heading D.
To insert multiple columns, select the columns immediately to the right where you want to insert the
new columns. Select the same number of columns that you want to insert. For example, if you want
to insert 5 columns just before column heading B, select columns D to H.
To Insert non-adjacent columns, hold down Ctrl key while selecting the non-adjacent columns. For
example, if you want to insert columns berore D and H, select column D, F, and H while holding the
Ctrl key.
Deleting rows or columns removes them from the worksheet and adjusts the existing cells to fill the space
vacated.

C. Click the Select All button or press Ctrl+A.
2. Right-click on the selected rows or columns and then choose Unhide/ Show.
Modifying Alignment
In an unformatted cell, text is aligned to the left side of the cell and numbers are alligned to the right edge.
You can modify this and align values, formula results or text to the left, right, or center of the cell.
Cells can be merged to align a title across a selection of columns. This enables you to center a heading
over a table or report.
