20. By the end of this presentation, you can:
identify the major features of the Excel window

21. This is the Excel 2013 Program Window.
SPREADSHEETTRAINER.COM
This is the Excel 2013 Program Window.
22. It has things in common with other windows. Let’s recap:
47. Holding the mouse over a command button displays a Tool-Tip: a
pop-up showing more info and a keyboard shortcut for each task.
48. At the bottom-right corners of many groups are small buttons
called Dialog Box Launchers.
49. Dialog box launchers open up [1] Task Panes or [2] Dialog Boxes,
with more advanced options for each group.

50. If you like you can [1] hide (and then [2] unhide) the ribbon.
You can also hide/unhide the ribbon by double-clicking on any tab.

51. As you resize the window the ribbon shrinks and groups together.
Command buttons are then accessed with Drop-Down Menus:
52. The Quick Access Toolbar contains shortcuts for common tasks.
This can be customized as you wish– more on this in a later video.
53. The Name Box displays the address of the current cell selection.
54. The Formula Bar is where you can enter text, numbers, formulas or
functions to the selected cells.
55. The formula bar can be expanded to accommodate larger entries by
clicking and dragging the mouse:
56. At the bottom left, the Status Bar tells you the current status of
Excel.
57. Next to this is a button to record Macros (automated Excel
processes). We cover this in a later video.
58. At the bottom right, shortcuts let you change how the worksheet
looks on screen – page layout & zoom.
59. There are vertical and horizontal Scroll Bars which let you navigate
around the worksheet:
60. And of course – in the middle of it all – is the Worksheet Area!
This is where the magic happens, and is our next topic.
61. One more thing - when you right-click in the worksheet the Mini
Tool-bar appears, which includes useful shortcuts from the ribbon.
