Tips and Tricks

Microsoft Excel

Trick
Top Secret: Don't Print
If there is information in an Excel worksheet that you prefer is not printed, you can hide it before printing. To hide specific rows before printing, select by clicking the row number, once highlighted, right click and select hide. The same can be done for hiding columns. Once printing is complete, the rows and columns can be displayed in the worksheet again by selecting the entire worksheet, right click and unhide.

Tip
Import Word to Excel
Before Excel 2000, it was required that a text file be opened separately then the data would be copied and pasted into a worksheet. Excel 200 and later has a shortcut to make the process faster and easier.
1. Select Data
2. Next, Get External Data
3. Then, Import Text File
4. This command calls up a dialog box where a text file is selected, the Text Import Wizard will appear, which allow to specific how Excel should import the data.
5. Finally, in the Import Data dialog box, indicate the desired worksheet destination.
