There are different ways to start Excel, depending on your computer and its settings.
Excel opens with a blank workbook. The menu bar is across the top. When you click a menu name, a list of commands is displayed.
The Standard and Formatting toolbars can be set to show on one or two rows.
A new workbook opens with three worksheets. A worksheet is an individual tab in the workbook.
Press [Ctrl]+[PageUp] and [Ctrl]+[PageDown] to move between worksheets in a workbook.
Worksheets are divided into cells, which are the intersections of rows and columns. The location of the cell is its address (also called its cell reference).
Move the pointer to a specific cell with the Go To command or by clicking the cell.
The active cell is outlined with a black border. It is ready to accept new data or a formula or be edited.
The Name box shows the address of the active cell. You can also use it to change the active cell.
If you use the scroll box or arrows to reposition the worksheet on the screen, the active cell does not change.
The Zoom size controls how much of the worksheet you can see at once.
Replace any entry in a cell by clicking the cell and keying new data. Edit long or complicated cell data rather than rekeying it.
The Undo button and the Redo button both have history arrows so that you can undo or redo multiple commands at once.
Preview your worksheet or the entire workbook before printing it. To preview and print all the worksheets in a workbook, choose File, Print. Then choose Entire workbook.
