Steps I Followed to Create the Flyer on "The Solar Power" in Microsoft
Word 2021:
1.Opening Microsoft Word:
I started by clicking on the Start menu, navigating to Microsoft Office, and then
opening Microsoft Word to begin the flyer.
2. Setting the Page Layout:
In the Page Layout tab, I adjusted the Page Size to A4 and chose Landscape
orientation because I wanted more width for my design. Then, I set the Margins to
Narrow to give myself more room on the page.

Screenshot:
3.Inserting a Title:
At the top of the flyer, I typed “The Solar Power” as the title. I highlighted it and
increased the font size to 36 pt, choosing Arial Black to make it bold and clear. I also
changed the font color to a bright yellow-orange to reflect the theme of solar energy

Screenshot:

4.Adding Subheadings and Content:


I then added subheadings like "What is Solar Power?", "Benefits of Solar Power", and
"How Solar Panels Work" below the title. To make them stand out, I used a 24 pt font
and colored them green to keep the eco-friendly theme consistent throughout the
flyer.
Under each subheading, I wrote short, clear points explaining solar power and its
benefits.

Screenshot:
5.Inserting Pictures:
To make the flyer more visually appealing, I clicked on the Insert tab and added
pictures of solar panels and a sun symbol. I resized them to fit neatly within the
layout and used the Text Wrap option to position the images alongside the text
without overlapping anything important.

Screenshot:

6. Designing with Shapes:


To add some visual elements, I went to the Insert tab and drew a few shapes like
rectangles and circles. These helped me highlight the most important information. I
filled the shapes with colors that matched the overall theme—yellows and greens.

Screenshot:
7. Applying Text Effects:
I wanted the title to pop, so I used Text Effects from the Home tab, adding a subtle
shadow and glow to give it a three-dimensional look. This made the title stand out
even more.

Screenshot:
9. Adding Bullet Points:
For the list of benefits under "Benefits of Solar Power," I used bullet points to make
the information easy to scan. I chose a creative bullet style, which gave the flyer a
more professional and polished appearance.

Screenshot:

10. Saving and Exporting as PDF:


Once I was happy with the design, I saved the document. From the File menu, I
selected Save As and chose PDF as the format, naming the file "Solar Power Flyer."
Now I had a professional-looking flyer ready to share or print.

Steps I Followed to Create the Payroll Worksheet in Excel 2021:

1. Opening Excel:
First, I opened Microsoft Excel 2007 from the Start menu and created a new
worksheet to work on the payroll of the company.
2. Entering the Employee Data:
In the first row, I typed the following labels in the columns:
• A1: Employee Name
• B1: Basic Salary (B)
• C1: Dearness Allowance (DA) (30% of B)
• D1: Total Gross Salary (G)
• E1: Income Tax (IT) (25% of G)
• F1: PF (10% of G)
• G1: Net Salary (N)

Screenshot:

3. Entering the Employee Names and Basic Salary:


In column A (starting from A2 to A7), I entered the employee names:
• A2: Raman
• A3: Mohit
• A4: Siraj
• A5: David
• A6: Phillip
• A7: Roger
Then, I entered their respective basic salaries in column B:
o B2: 50000
o B3: 65000
o B4: 60000
o B5: 50000
o B6: 45000
o B7: 30000

Screenshot:

4. Calculating Dearness Allowance (DA):


In column C, I calculated the Dearness Allowance (DA), which is 30% of the Basic
Salary (B). To do this:
• In cell C2, I entered the formula:
=B2*30%
This gives me 30% of Raman's basic salary.
• I copied this formula down the entire C column (C3 to C7) for the other
employees by dragging the small square in the bottom-right corner of cell C2
downwards.
Screenshot:

5.Calculating Total Gross Salary (G):


In column D, I calculated the Total Gross Salary (G) as the sum of the Basic
Salary (B) and Dearness Allowance (DA). To do this:
• In cell D2, I entered the formula: =B2+C2
• Then, I dragged the formula down from D2 to D7 for the other employees.

Screenshot:
6.Calculating Income Tax (IT):

In column E, I calculated Income Tax (IT), which is 25% of the Total Gross
Salary (G). I entered:
• In cell E2, I typed: =D2*25%
• I dragged the formula down from E2 to E7 to fill in the values for the
other employees.

Screenshot:

7. Calculating Provident Fund (PF):


In column F, I calculated the PF, which is 10% of the Total Gross Salary (G). I
entered:
• In cell F2: =D2*10%
• I dragged the formula down from F2 to F7 to get the PF for all employees.

Screenshot:
8. Calculating Net Salary (N):
In column G, I calculated the Net Salary (N), which is the Total Gross Salary (B
+ DA) minus Income Tax (IT) and Provident Fund (PF).
• I used the formula:
In cell G2: =D2-E2-F2
• Again, I dragged the formula down from G2 to G7 to calculate the Net
Salary for the rest of the employees.

Screenshot:

9. Reviewing the Data:


• After entering all the formulas, I reviewed the table to ensure all
calculations were correct, adjusting any numbers if needed.
10. Saving and Exporting to PDF:
• Once the worksheet was complete, I saved the file by going to File > Save
As. I then exported it as a PDF by selecting PDF from the "Save as type"
dropdown menu and named the file "Company Payroll."
