Google Earth is an amazing FREE application that allows you to view maps, satellite imagery, links, photographs, and 3D terrains. I am more amazed every time I use it.
By Request: Formulas, Formatting, Auto-Formatting, Dates, etc. This was a request to go back to the basics and do some "Beginning Excel" video tutorials. I hope this helps!
This is my first in a series of tutorials for Microsoft Excel. This will introduce some of the basic concepts and then demonstrate a couple practical uses.
This page gets folks up and running with their own blog in minutes using the Blogger site. I start from clicking "Register" and take you through adding pictures, editing the layout, etc.
I am redoing some of this video to answer some questions I have been getting. I hope this one is a little easier to follow -- AND it doesn't have the annoying clicks. :)
Creating charts and diagrams may not be the first thing you think of when you use Excel, but I use it all the time. In this example I use Excel to create a seating chart for my computer lab.
The Forest is another quick and easy landscape using a "mountain" to create a simple model -- in this case, a forest full of trees. Experiment with different textures (trunk, terrain, etc.) to get different kinds of trees.
I continue with part 2 of the "back to basics" Excel tutorial. I go into more depth with formulas, talk about changing column and row sizes, and reference other cells.
This is a fun tip for quick changes in pictures. Instantly change the color of your car -- or your jacket -- or that ugly tie you had on at the Christmas party... (let's not go there). It's quick and easy!
The River Valley is one of my favorite Bryce landscapes for two reasons: 1.) It amazes me how much you can do with a simple mountain. 2.) Simple changes (like the angle, textures, and sky) make a huge difference in how it looks.
The basics of genealogy beginning with downloading free forms, putting your data into genealogy programs, looking up information on the web, etc. This is an overall introduction with specific subject video tutorials to follow.
I will go over fixing some of the "features" that come with Excel, customizing menus, protecting worksheets, creating forms, and adding some "special effects".
I use Excel as something of a simple database. I use it to keep track of movies, collectibles, etc. because I like the interface, the ease of organizing data, and the ability to filter data on-the-fly with AutoFilters and Sorts.
