Tutorial - Microsoft Office Excel 2003
Introduction:
Microsoft Excel is the most widespread program for creating spreadsheets on the
market today. Spreadsheets allow you to organize information in rows and tables
(which create cells), with the added bonus of automatic mathematics. Spreadsheets
have been used for many, many years in business to keep track of expenses and
other calculations. Excel will keep track of numbers you place in cells, and if you
define cells to refer to each other, any changes made in one cell will be reflected in
these referring cells. It sounds a bit complicated, but Excel makes it all a breeze.
