    Slide 2:3.1 Introduction to Common Application Software

    Application software (or Applications) Programs that perform tasks for users General-purpose programs designed to process and present information. Common application software Word processing (Microsoft Word) Spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel) Database (Microsoft Access) Presentation software (Microsoft PowerPoint) Chapter 3 Integrated Use of ASW

    Slide 3:3.1.1 Application Software-Purposes

    Slide 6: Common Features 3.1.3.1 Save and Save As

    Saving a file Copy data from memory to Secondary storage e.g. hard disk. Data are temporarily hold in the memory Lost if the application is quitted without saving Use proper filename Store in proper directory NOT in the same directory as the software. Will overwrite the previous data file Renaming the old file Moving it to floppy drive or different directory Use Save...As command to use a different filename 3.1.3 Common Features

    Slide 7: Common Features 3.1.3.2 Print and Export

    Printing Hardcopy Printed on paper Exporting Softcopy Stored / transmitted in Electronic Form Three Forms: 1. Electronic signals e.g. transmitted to a remote fax machine 2. HTML file to be used as a Web page 3. PDF (Portable Document Format) file 3.1.3 Common Features

    Slide 8: Common Features 3.1.3.3 Formatting

    Character formatting specify colour, typeface, point size, and font style; Point size measures the size of characters; Font style could be bold, italics, underlined etc. Paragraph format specify line spacing, justification, number of columns, indentation etc. Page formatting specify page size, page orientation, margins, header and footer. 3.1.3 Common Features

    Slide 9: Common Features 3.1.3.4 Clipboard

    Part of the memory Advantage: 1. Save effort in repeating the same input 2. Move data from one place to another 3. Transfer data from between applications Features Flexible in size Content can be overwritten, cannot be undone. 3.1.3 Common Features

    Slide 10: Common Features 3.1.3.5 Find / Replace

    “Find” command Search through a data file for a keyword. Choose whether a search is case sensitive or not Case sensitive: "abc" is different from "ABC" “Replace” Command Replace the targeted text with new text Use with Find 3.1.3 Common Features

    Slide 11:3.2 Word Processing Software

    3.2.1 Features in a Word Document 3.2.2 Mail merge 3.2.3 Summary Chapter 3 Integrated Use of ASW

    Slide 12:3.2.1 Features in Word document

    1. Column 2. Headline 3. Text Box 4. Bulleted List 3.2 Word processing 5. Graphics and Objects 6. Tables 7. Page Header and Footer 8. Footnote Sample (Portrait) Sample (Landscape)

    Slide 13:3.2.2 Mail merge

    Mail merge produces letters with same contents but different addresses involves a source document with field names a table of records with matching fields Table can be a table in another word document a spreadsheet, or a database table 3.2 Word processing

    Slide 14:3.2.3 Summary of Word processing

    A Word Processing software allows you to type and correct text, delete text, move text find and replace text check spelling and grammar use Thesaurus to use alternative words set text, paragraph and page formatting insert pictures and tables produce mail merge create indexes and table of contents 3.2 Word processing

    Slide 15:3.3 Spreadsheet Software

    3.3.1 Simple formula in Spreadsheet 3.3.2 Relative and absolute addresses 3.3.3 Using Simple Functions 3.3.4 Recalculation 3.3.5 Charting Chapter 3 Integrated Use of ASW

    Slide 16:3.3.1 Simple formula in Spreadsheet

    Spreadsheet A collection of rows and columns of cells in the form of a table. Cell address consists of: row name and column name e.g. F8 refers to the cell located at column F row 8 The formula in cell E3 is "=B3-C3-D3” Calculating the profit for January 3.3 Spreadsheet Sample Spreadsheet

    Slide 17:3.3.2 Relative and Absolute addresses (1)

    Relative address When a formula is pasted, it would change the relative cell addresses logically For example, when the formula “=B3-C3-D3” in E3 is copied and pasted to E4, the new formula would be “=B4-C4-D4” B3, C3 and D3 are relative addresses Sample Spreadsheet 3.3 Spreadsheet

    Slide 18:3.3.2 Relative and Absolute addresses (2)

    Absolute address e.g. $B$8. When a formula is copied, absolute address remains unchanged Suppose D3 stores "=B3-C3-$B$8”. When copied to D4, the formula is "=B4-C4-$B$8”. B$8 is used in copying cells vertically $B8 is used in copying cells horizontally Sample Spreadsheet 3.3 Spreadsheet

    Slide 19:3.3.3 Using Simple Functions

    Function SUM() : Finding sum of cells AVERAGE(): Finding the average of cells COUNT(): Counting the number of cells MAX(): Finding the maximum value MIN(): Finding the minimum value e.g. =SUM(D3:D6) D3:D6 represents a range of cells from D3 to D6 inclusively. Sample Spreadsheet 3.3 Spreadsheet

    Slide 20:3.3.4 Recalculation

    Recalculation When the data in a cell is changed, the rest of the worksheet will be updated automatically. Spreadsheets are useful in answering “whatif” questions. Sample Spreadsheet 3.3 Spreadsheet

    Slide 21:3.3.5 Charting

    Types of Charts Line charts Bar charts Pie charts etc. Method: Chart Wizard Sample Spreadsheet 3.3 Spreadsheet

    Slide 22:3.4 Database Software

    3.4.1 Database Design 3.4.2 Getting information from a Database 3.4.3 Advanced Concept 3.4.4 Advanced Queries Chapter 3 Integrated Use of ASW

    Slide 23:3.4.1 ?????

    You will create Database “school” Filename "school.mdb” The database will include Table “student” Key field “student_id” 3.4 Database

    Slide 24:3.4.2 Getting information from a Database

    Query to get information from a database using simple SQL (structured query language) e.g. SELECT * FROM student ORDER BY class, class_no; will display all the records from the table student in order of class and class_no. (*) means to display all the available fields 3.4 Database

    Slide 25:3.4.3 Advanced Concept

    Avoiding data redundancy For example, class teacher and room should NOT be included in the table student. The problems of Data Redundancy 1. The repeating data takes up extra space. 2. It makes updating difficult To solve the problem Set up another table “class” with key field “class”, which is linked to the table “student” 3.4 Database

    Slide 26:3.4.4 Advanced Query

    The following SQL instruction will retrieve information from the two tables: SELECT name, student.class, class_tchr FROM student, class WHERE student.class = class.class ORDER BY student.class, class_no; It will display the name, class and name of class_tchr for all the students, in order of class and class_no 3.4 Database

    Slide 27:3.5 Integrated Use of Application Software

    For instance, the Analysis of a Survey may include both text and charts to illustrate the result. A spreadsheet software is used to perform the calculation and create the charts A word processing package should be used to prepare the report. The integration can be done by copy-and-paste data between applications Chapter 3 Integrated Use of ASW

    Slide 28:Activity 1 Spreadsheet in a word Document

    Write a report about the survey, including A title Relevant information Tables imported from a spreadsheet Open Microsoft Word and type the following: a. Title of the report b. School, class, date of report, name of members c. Result of survey in table form Chapter 3 Integrated Use of ASW

    Slide 29:Activity 2 Charts in a presentation slide

    Produce presentation slides about the survey. Each slide shows one statistical result in the form of charts. Open MS PowerPoint and create two slides with: a. Title for the statistical result b. Result of survey in the form of charts and tables Open MS Excel and produce appropriate charts Copy the chart onto your presentation slide Chapter 3 Integrated Use of ASW

    Slide 30:Activity 3 Mail merge

    Using mail merge, produce letters with the same content but different addresses. Use MS Access to create Database “address” with table “recipient” Start Mail merge ... to include Data source from the database “address” Insert the fields of table recipient in appropriate position Click Merge to new document button to produce form letters Chapter 3 Integrated Use of ASW
