ADOPT A SCHOOL - SPREADSHEET TUTORIALS - TIPS PROJECT

READ ME TEXT

This CD contains four sets of Spreadsheet Tutorial files
 - AppleWorks Tutorial
 - Quattro Pro Tutorial
 - Excel Tutorial
 - StarOffice Tutorial

The Appleworks Tutorials have both a Mac and Windows version because of formatting issues - though either version of the spreadsheet will open on either platform, choose the correct version for best results.
(AppleWorks is the new name for the ClarisWorks program, and all files will open in ClarisWorks 5, as well as AppleWorks 6 or later)

The Quattro Pro Tutorials have been designed in Quattro Pro version 8, and can be opened in later versions as well.

The Microsoft Excel Tutorials have been designed in Office 97, and will also open up in later versions.

The StarOffice Tutorials have been designed in StarOffice 7, the Office Suite most recently licensed by the Ministry of Education for Ontario's publicly funded schools.

In each folder there will be the following files:

 - AdoptSchl_XX_Tut  - this is the Spreadsheet Tutorial, with explanations, tasks to practice your spreadsheeting skills, and how to hints. 

 - AdoptSchl_XX_Tut_Ans  - this is the same tutorial, but with answers completed in the spreadsheet sections.  You may refer to this file to compare your work when finished each task, or to help you along.

 - ShowMeMenuXX.htm  - this file will open up in your Internet Browser, and provides a menu to a series of Demonstration Movies, one for each task.  These movies will show all steps required to complete each task, and can be paused, stopped and started again at any time.  The links are specific to the spreadsheet program identified by last two characters (XX).

(substitute XX for either AW / QP / SO / XL for either AppleWorks / Quattro Pro / StarOffice / or Excel versions)

NOTE:  To run the demonstration movies, your browser needs to have the Flash Player plug-in installed.  You can download this plug-in free of charge from http://www.macromedia.com/
