Short Notes
2020
In this notes I will introduce the basic understanding of the graphs &
charts, Document production, Presentations software tools used to
create it which is related to the Microsoft office suite.
Chart types:
1. Pie chart.
2. Bar chart.
3. Line graph.
Pie charts: charts that compare parts of a whole or fractions of a whole. The most
appropriate chart to compare percentage values.
Bar charts: the bar chart is traditionally a graph with vertical bars. It is called column graph
in Excel. It shows the difference between two different things.
Note:
In Excel if you want vertical bar chart you use the “column chart” and for the horizontal bar
chart you use the “bar chart”.
Line graphs: are used to plot trends between two variables. For example, plotting the temperature
of water as it was heated against time.
A legend (Key) is a descriptive labeling to the right of each legend key is a name
identifying the data represented by the specific key.
The category axis in a vertical bar chart is the X axis, and it displays the name of the
different categories.
The value axis in a vertical bar chart is the Y axis and it displays the number values.
Combo chart: using the option “Create custom combo chart” which will allow you to
compare two values using bar charts and/or line graphs. And here you will be in need to use
secondary axes.
Document Production:
If you started a paragraph of text on one page or column but there is no enough room on
the page to get the last line typed in, the single line of text which appears at the top of the
next page or column is called a Widow.
The first line of the paragraph at the bottom of the page or column is called on Orphan.
Both should be avoided when producing a document.
Widows and Orphans can be removed using page break, column break and
section break.
Page Break:
This forces the text onto the start of a new page, leaving white space at the end of the
previous page.
Column Break:
A column break is used to force the text into the top of the next available column, which
maybe on the same page or may be on the next page.
Section Break:
A section break is used to split areas of a document with different layouts.
Mail Merge:
Mail merged document: the mail merged document is created to save the repeated typing of
similar documents that are designed to be sent to different people. It uses a master
document and a source file containing data.
Source file containing data like names, addresses of people to send the letter to.
Purpose of using Mail-merged document Produce personalized letters for a number
of people.
Presentations:
A presentation is a series of slides used to give information to an audience.
A presentation can be used in many different ways:
To teach or inform as a visual aid in a lecture.
Constant on-screen carousel giving information or advertising, for example, in
shopping center or a mall.
The media for delivery and type of presentation developed will depend on:
The purpose of the presentation.
Target audience.
Audience Notes: notes are paper copies of the slides of a presentation that are given to
the audience so that they can them away and refer to them after presentation. (3 slides
option in the print preview screen).
Presenter notes: presenter notes are a single copy of the slides from a presentation, with
printed key facts that are needed to be told to the audience by the person delivering the
presentations. These notes are usually printed but not usually given to the audience. (Notes
page option in print preview).
