16 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l

This is how u can fit all the columns properly
without selecting each one separately
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
17 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


if asked to format the cell to a stripped pattern , go on home and then
a small box below font






~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
18 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


This is how you change the currency


Here you should use a lookup function
even though the if function works, vlookup shd still be used

This is how you do it



~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
19 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


this is how we do it

Example of a label

Things to remember when creating a label:
When u choose a label look at how many columns it has a match it to
the question
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
20 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l

If it says that include label and the as well as the data then u click on
the label then write : then click again on the label
Another thing is that u have to make sure that ur print preview matches
the desing shown in the question
U may need to readjust ur design in order to make all of the labels fit on
one page
This can be done by removing the page header and report footer if not
required by the question
like this (READJUSTING LABEL)
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
21 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


How the label should look like



~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
22 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l



You sometimes have to insert section break so that one section is
completely different from the other. This is useful when the question
requires you to make the first page diff from others, etc.! This is how you do it


For Word

More tips when solving your ict practical









~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
25 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l



Very important for PowerPoint

got it from Talha: they said that display size as a number with 1
decimal place
So even if u set the number to one decimal place it wont make a
difference as it set to integer, so to solve this you have to change from
integer to double!!






~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
26 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l



The number across represents the no of columns in a page
For example if there are 8 labels in total and this option is selected then
on that page there will be 2 columns and 4 rows. :D


~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
27 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


This means that there should be 8 labels in
total and if there arent then there is something wrong with the design
or the query itself. {wasnt like that in 2008s exam though}

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
28 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l

Sometimes you may have to edit your chart so right click and select
change data type and then configure your chart according to the
question!

The best thing to do here is to click on page break instead of pressing
enter each time as the question said to insert page breaks where
necessary.




~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
29 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l




This Is how you show both label and data for a LABEL:

Look carefully at how I wrote Make first without the parenthesis {} and
then I wrote make with the parenthesis.
When creating labels and only when creating labels, u should
sort the data (if needed) in the query design not in the label it
self
REMEMBER
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
30 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l

this s considered a blank line even
though u cant click on it


At the start of word before they ask you to inert a blank line after each
paragraph , go on paragraph and set spacing after and before to 0pt.
Then u add a line after each paragraph by hitting enter.
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
31 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l

by clicking
on this option u can set the outside border to whatever u like and still
display the inner borders!!

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
32 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l

Flipping an image
Null means blank!!




~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
33 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


For access remember that whenever you want to write a formula in the
report you have to follow these procedures:
=
Function
(
The label like price, cost, VIN, model etc.
)
You have to follow the above procedures or you can just do it this way:
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
35 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


When creating a summary you can also just click on Sigma F (TOTAL)
So that you can group them etc.
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
36 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


I did this as the question required me to
performs a count of the number of Products for each Country
calculates the sum of the number of items in Stock for each
Country
only reports where Products number more than 3

~This is a summary report~
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
37 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


When u are trying to remove widows and orphans , I dont think that
you shd disturb the line spacing instead I think that u shd insert page
breaks and continuous breaks!

Remember that the picture alignment should be perfect

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
38 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l








~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
39 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l



Instead of using page breaks, go to page layout and hen click on breaks
and then choose Next Page

When you use this command, u can make the first page different from
the other, or make one page portrait and the other landscape.
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
40 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l



Remember this step, as it is usually asked in the pp!
~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
41 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l


~This is for the ruler~

Example of a hanging paragraph:

For PowerPoint, when creating the master slide^

This is if the question requires you to put the image behind the text

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
44 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l







~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
45 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l

This is the how you shd take a screenshot of transition being applied
to the slides.



~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
46 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l

And this is how the animations should be showed. U shd open the
animation pane(custom animation icon) and configure the settings

This is how u can print the slides with the presenter notes

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq ICT {0417}
47 | P a g e N o t e s f o r p r a c t i c a l

When they ask u to print handouts it means the slides are displayed
on the left and there are some blank lines on the right for people to
take notes.

THE QUESTION REQUIRED ME TO shows
only the records where the
Country is Colombia or
Guatemala or Peru.
