Hyperlinking MS WORD 2013

Adding hyperlinks to text can provide access to websites and email addresses directly
from your document. There are a few ways to insert a hyperlink into your document.
Depending on how you want the link to appear, you can use Word's automatic link
formatting or convert text into a link.
Hyperlinks have two basic parts:
The address (URL) of the webpage and
The display text.
For example, the address could be http://www.popsci.com, and the display text could
be Popular Science Magazine. When you create a hyperlink in Word, you'll be able to
choose both the address and the display text.
Word often recognizes email and web addresses as you type and will automatically format
them as hyperlinks after you press Enter or the spacebar. In the images below, you can
see a hyperlinked email address and a hyperlinked web address.
To follow a hyperlink in Word, hold the Ctrl key and click on the hyperlink.

ALTERNATIVES
Microsoft Office is one of the most popular programs on the market, with more than 1 billion users
worldwide. But at $139.99 for just the basic package (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote only),
it's also a little expensive. What if you can't afford it?
Thankfully, there are programs like Google Docs, Office Online, OpenOffice, and LibreOffice.
They don't have as many features as Microsoft Office (think of them as Office lite), but they're free,
easy to use, and readily available online. They're a great alternative if you're looking for something
simple or if you can't stomach the price of Microsoft Office.
We wanted to share these programs with you just in case you hadn't heard of them before. We hope
you find them useful at home, at work, or at school.
Google Docs
Google Docs is a web-based program you can access directly from your browser. This means
there's nothing to download or installall you have to do is sign in to your Google account and
navigate to Google Drive (where Google Docs is housed), and you can create and store files
online.
Libre Office and Open Office
Looking for a more traditional alternative to Microsoft Office? Something that you can actually
download and install on your computer? You might want to check out OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
These programs may not be as slick as Google Docs or Office Online, but they come with a few
extra features, including a tool for creating and managing databases. You can use them for
almost all of your home and office needs, and the environment is remarkably similar to older
versions of Microsoft Office.

Jeremy Bentham
The philosopher and jurist Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) was born at Houndsditch,
London, on 15th February 1748. He proved to be something of a child prodigy:
while still a toddler he was discovered sitting at his fathers desk reading a multivolume history of England, and he began to study Latin at the age of three. At
twelve, he was sent to Queens College Oxford, his father, a prosperous attorney,
having decided that Jeremy would follow him into the law, and feeling quite sure
that his brilliant son would one day be Lord Chancellor of England.
Bentham, however, soon became disillusioned with the law, especially after
hearing the lectures of the leading authority of the day, Sir William Blackstone
(1723-80). Instead of practicing the law, he decided to write about it, and he spent
his life criticizing the existing law and suggesting ways for its improvement. His
fathers death in 1792 left him financially independent, and for nearly forty years
he lived quietly in Westminster, producing between ten and twenty sheets of
manuscript a day, even when he was in his eighties.

insert new columns or rows, delete certain rows or columns, move them to a different
location in the worksheet, or even hide them.
To insert rows:
1. Select the row heading below where you want the new row to appear. For
example, if you want to insert a row between rows 7 and 8, select row 8.
2. Click the Insert command on the Home tab.
3. The new row will appear above the selected row.
When inserting new rows, columns, or cells, you will see the Insert Options button
next to the inserted cells. This button allows you to choose how Excel formats these cells.
By default, Excel formats inserted rows with the same formatting as the cells in the row
above.

multiple lines. Merging allows you to combine a cell with adjacent empty cells to create
one large cell.
To wrap text in cells:
In our example below, we'll wrap the text of the cells in column D so the entire address
can be displayed.
1. Select the cells you want to wrap. In this example, we'll select the cells in column

Simple Formulas
One of the most powerful features in Excel is the ability to calculate numerical information
using formulas. Just like a calculator, Excel can add, subtract, multiply, and divide. In this
lesson, we'll show you how to use cell references to create simple formulas.
Mathematical operators
Excel uses standard operators for formulas, such as a plus sign for addition (+), a minus
sign for subtraction (-), an asterisk for multiplication (*), a forward slash for division (/),
and a caret (^) for exponents.
All formulas in Excel must begin with an equals sign (=). This is because the cell
contains, or is equal to, the formula and the value it calculates.
Understanding cell references
While you can create simple formulas in Excel manually (for example, =2+2 or =5*5),
most of the time you will use cell addresses to create a formula. This is known as making
a cell reference. Using cell references will ensure that your formulas are always accurate
because you can change the value of referenced cells without having to rewrite the
formula.
82
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES
By combining a mathematical operator with cell references, you can create a variety of
simple formulas in Excel. Formulas can also include a combination of cell references
and numbers, as in the examples below:
83
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

To create a formula:
In our example below, we'll use a simple formula and cell references to calculate a budget.
1. Select the cell that will contain the
formula. In our example, we'll select
cell B3.
2. Type the equals sign (=). Notice how

it appears in both the cell and the
formula bar.
3. Type the cell address of the cell you

want to reference first in the formula:
cell B1 in our example. A blue border
will appear around the referenced cell.
4. Type the mathematical operator you want to use. In our example, we'll type the
addition sign (+).
5. Type the cell address of the cell you

want to reference second in the
formula: cell B2 in our example. A red
border will appear around the
referenced cell.
84
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

6. Press Enter on your keyboard. The formula
will be calculated, and the value will be
displayed in the cell.
If the result of a formula is too large to be displayed in a cell, it may appear as pound
signs (#######) instead of a value. This means the column is not wide enough to display
the cell content. Simply increase the column width to show the cell content.
Modifying values with cell references

The true advantage of cell references is that they allow you to update data in your
worksheet without having to rewrite formulas. In the example below, we've modified the
value of cell B1 from $1,200 to $1,800. The formula in B3 will automatically recalculate
and display the new value in cell B3.
Excel will not always tell you if your formula contains an error, so it's up to you to check
all of your formulas. To learn how to do this, you can read the Double-Check Your
Formulas lesson from our Excel Formulas tutorial.
85
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

To create a formula using the point-and-click method:
Rather than typing cell addresses manually, you can point and click on the cells you
want to include in your formula. This method can save a lot of time and effort when
creating formulas. In our example below, we'll create a formula to calculate the cost of
ordering several boxes of plastic silverware.
1. Select the cell that will contain the formula. In our example, we'll select cell D3.
2. Type the equals sign (=).

3. Select the cell you want to reference first in the formula: cell B3 in our example.
The cell address will appear in the formula, and a dashed blue line will appear
around the referenced cell.
1. Type the mathematical operator you want to use. In our example, we'll type the
multiplication sign (*).
86
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

2. Select the cell you want to reference second in the formula: cell C3 in our
example. The cell address will appear in the formula, and a dashed red line will
appear around the referenced cell.
3. Press Enter on your keyboard. The formula will be calculated, and the value will
be displayed in the cell.
Formulas can also be copied to adjacent cells with the fill handle, which can save a lot
of time and effort if you need to perform the same calculation multiple times in a
worksheet. Review our lesson on Relative and Absolute Cell References to learn more.

To edit a formula:
Sometimes you may want to modify an existing formula. In the example below, we've
entered an incorrect cell address in our formula, so we'll need to correct it.

Complex Formulas
A simple formula is a mathematical expression with one operator, such as 7+9. A complex
formula has more than one mathematical operator, such as 5+2*8. When there is more
than one operation in a formula, the order of operations tells Excel which operation to
calculate first. In order to use Excel to calculate complex formulas, you will need to
understand the order of operations.
The order of operations
Excel calculates formulas based on the following order of operations:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Operations enclosed in parentheses

Exponential calculations (3^2, for example)
Multiplication and division, whichever comes first
Addition and subtraction, whichever comes first
A mnemonic that can help you remember the order is PEMDAS, or Please Excuse My
Dear Aunt Sally.
While this formula may look complicated, we can use the order of operations step by step
to find the right answer.

Creating complex formulas

In the example below, we will demonstrate how Excel solves a complex formula using the
order of operations. Here, we want to calculate the cost of sales tax for a catering invoice.
To do this, we'll write our formula as =(D2+D3) *0.075 in cell D4. This formula will add the
prices of our items together and then multiply that value by the 7.5% tax rate (which is
written as 0.075) to calculate the cost of sales tax.
92
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES
Excel follows the order of operations and first adds the values inside the parentheses:
(44.85+39.90) = $84.75. It then multiplies that value by the tax rate: $84.75*0.075. The
result will show that the sales tax is $6.36.
It is especially important to enter complex formulas with the correct order of operations.
Otherwise, Excel will not calculate the results accurately. In our example, if the
parentheses are not included, the multiplication is calculated first and the result is
incorrect. Parentheses are the best way to define which calculations will be performed
first in Excel.
93
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

To create a complex formula using the order of operations:
In our example below, we will use cell references along with numerical values to create
a complex formula that will calculate the total cost for a catering invoice. The formula will
calculate the cost for each menu item and then add those values together.
1. Select the cell that will contain the formula. In our example, we'll select cell C4.
2. Enter your formula. In our example, we'll type =B2*C2+B3*C3. This formula will
follow the order of operations, first performing the multiplication: 2.29*20 = 45.80
and 3.49*35 = 122.15. It then will add those values together to calculate the total:
45.80+122.15.
3. Double-check your formula for accuracy, then press Enter on your keyboard. The
formula will calculate and display the result. In our example, the result shows that
the total cost for the order is $167.95.
94

You can add parentheses to any equation to make it easier to read. While it won't change
the result of the formula in this example, we could enclose the multiplication operations
within parentheses to clarify that they will be calculated before the addition.

Functions
A function is a predefined formula that performs calculations using specific values in a
particular order. Excel includes many common functions that can be useful for quickly
finding the sum, average, count, maximum value, and minimum value for a range of cells.
In order to use functions correctly, you'll need to understand the different parts of a
function and how to create arguments to calculate values and cell references.
The parts of a function
In order to work correctly, a function must be written a specific way, which is called the
syntax. The basic syntax for a function is the equals sign (=), the function name (SUM,
for example), and one or more arguments. Arguments contain the information you want
to calculate. The function in the example below would add the values of the cell range
A1:A20.
Working with arguments

Arguments can refer to both individual cells and cell ranges and must be enclosed
within parentheses. You can include one argument or multiple arguments, depending on
the syntax required for the function.
For example, the function =AVERAGE (B1:B9)
would calculate the average of the values in the
cell range B1:B9. This function contains only one
argument.
97
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

Multiple arguments must be separated by a comma. For example, the function
=SUM(A1:A3, C1:C2, E1) will add the values of all the cells in the three arguments.
Creating a function
Excel has a variety of functions available. Here are some of the most common functions
you'll use:
SUM: This function adds all of the values of the cells in the argument.
AVERAGE: This function determines the average of the values included in the
argument. It calculates the sum of the cells and then divides that value by the
number of cells in the argument.
COUNT: This function counts the number of cells with numerical data in the
argument. This function is useful for quickly counting items in a cell range.
MAX: This function determines the highest cell value included in the argument.
MIN: This function determines the lowest cell value included in the argument.
To create a basic function:
In our example below, we'll create a basic function to calculate the average price per
unit for a list of recently ordered items using the AVERAGE function.
1. Select the cell that will contain the function. In our example, we'll select cell C11.
98
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

2. Type the equals sign (=) and enter the desired function name. You can also
select the desired function from the list of suggested functions that will appear
below the cell as you type. In our example, we'll type =AVERAGE.
3. Enter the cell range for the argument inside parentheses. In our example, we'll
type (C3:C10). This formula will add the values of cells C3:C10 and then divide
that value by the total number of cells in the range to determine the average.
4. Press Enter on your keyboard. The function will be calculated, and the result will
appear in the cell. In our example, the average price per unit of items ordered was
$15.93.

all of your formulas. To learn how to do this, read the Double-Check Your Formulas lesson
from our Excel Formulas tutorial.
To create a function using the AutoSum command:
The AutoSum command allows you to automatically insert the most common functions
into your formula, including SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, and MAX. In our example
below, we'll create a function to calculate the total cost for a list of recently ordered items
using the SUM function.
1. Select the cell that will contain the function. In our example, we'll select cell D12.
100
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

2. In the Editing group on the Home tab, locate and select the arrow next to the
AutoSum command and then choose the desired function from the drop-down
menu. In our example, we'll select Sum.
3. The selected function will appear in the cell. If logically placed, the AutoSum
command will automatically select a cell range for the argument. In our example,
cells D3:D11 were selected automatically and their values will be added together
to calculate the total cost. You can also manually enter the desired cell range into
the argument.
4. Press Enter on your keyboard. The function will be calculated, and the result will
appear in the cell. In our example, the sum of D3:D11 is $606.05.
101
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

5. The AutoSum command can also be accessed from the Formulas tab on the
Ribbon.
The Function Library

While there are hundreds of functions in Excel, the ones you use most frequently will
depend on the type of data your workbooks contain. There is no need to learn every
single function, but exploring some of the different types of functions will be helpful as
you create new projects. You can search for functions by category, such as Financial,
Logical, Text, Date & Time, and more from the Function Library on the Formulas tab.
To access the Function Library, select the Formulas tab on the Ribbon. The
Function Library will appear.
102
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

To insert a function from the Function Library:
In our example below, we'll use a function to calculate the number of business days it
took to receive items after they were ordered. In our example, we'll use the dates in
columns B and C to calculate the delivery time in column D.
1. Select the cell that will contain the function. In our example, we'll select cell D3.
2. Click the Formulas tab on the Ribbon to access the Function Library.
3. From the Function Library group, select the desired function category. In our
example, we'll choose Date & Time.
4. Select the desired function from the drop-down menu. In our example, we'll select
the NETWORKDAYS function to count the number of business days between the
ordered date and received date.
103
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

5. The Function Arguments dialog box will appear. From here, you'll be able to enter
or select the cells that will make up the arguments in the function. In our example,
we'll enter B3 in the Start_date: field and C3 in the End_date: field.
6. When you're satisfied with the arguments, click OK.
7. The function will be calculated, and the result will appear in the cell. In our
example, the result shows that it took four business days to receive the order.
Like formulas, functions can be copied to adjacent cells. Hover the mouse over the cell
that contains the function, then click, hold, and drag the fill handle over the cells you
104
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

want to fill. The function will be copied, and values for those cells will be calculated relative
to their rows or columns.
The Insert Function command

If you're having trouble finding the right function, the Insert Function command allows
you to search for functions using keywords. While it can be useful, this command is
sometimes difficult to use. If you don't have much experience with functions, you may
have more success browsing the Function Library instead. For more advanced users,
however, the Insert Function command can be a powerful way to find a function quickly.
To use the Insert Function command:
In our example below, we want to find a function that will count the total number of
items ordered. We want to count the cells in the Item column, which uses text. We
cannot use the basic COUNT function because it will only count cells with numerical
information. Instead, we will need to find a function that counts the total number of
cells within a cell range.
1. Select the cell that will contain the function. In our example, we'll select cell B16.
105
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES
2. Click the Formulas tab on the Ribbon, then select the Insert Function command.
3. The Insert Function dialog box will appear.

4. Type
a
few
keywords
describing the calculation you
want the function to perform,
then click Go. In our example,
we'll type Count cells, but you
can also search by selecting a
category from the drop-down
list.
106
EMPOWERMENT
TECHNOLOGIES

5. Review the results to find the desired function, then click OK. In our example, we'll
choose COUNTA because it will count the number of cells in a cell range.
6. The Function Arguments dialog box will appear. Select the Value1: field, then
enter or select the desired cells. In our example, we'll enter the cell range A3:A10.
You may continue to add arguments in the Value2: field, but in this case we only
want to count the number of cells in the cell range A3:A10.
7. When you're satisfied, click OK.
107
