They will learn key MS Excel functions and be able to prepare spreadsheets, read and write formulas, and create charts. Students will learn how to prepare presentations using MS Powerpoint, including the use of Slide Master, creating templates, inserting graphics, WordArt, charts and tables and linking spreadsheets, charts and documents from other applications.
