One little trick that I like to do with Macromedia Flash is to add an invisible button over a photo or diagram. This button can help identify people in a photo, point out areas of interest on a map, quiz someone on a diagram (i.e. the heart), or just do silly things. :)
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.
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.
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.
One of my favorite things to do is to take pictures with my digital camera and turn them into 3D images -- the kind where you use red and blue 3D glasses to see them. It's surprisingly easy and really fun.
I will go over fixing some of the "features" that come with Excel, customizing menus, protecting worksheets, creating forms, and adding some "special effects".
In this tutorial I discuss some tricks for speeding up your work, adding extra function to Word, and I through in some tips most people don't know about.
More advanced formula uses including the "IF" statement. For example, "IF someone earned over $200 then charge them $20... otherwise charge them $40." This is a very powerful tip.
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!
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.
