This seems like an appropriate article, given that one of the topics for tonight’s class will be charts in Excel 2007.
No matter how “pretty” your charts look, they need to be easily interpreted. Just like Pac-Man, it is never a bad idea to just keep things simple.
Or maybe it’s just an excuse to talk about Pac-Man. You decide.

Last week, a number of you mentioned that you were getting pop-ups in Excel that were annoying and preventing some of you from working in other cells. While looking for a web site that had tips for using Excel, I came across this article. This actually won’t get rid of the error most of you experienced, but if you’re getting a pop-up that has an “i” with a circle inside, that’s how you do it.
As far as the triangle with the exclamation mark that most of you were getting, the way to get rid of that is to go to the menu and select Tools and then Options. Click on the tab that says Error Checking, and remove the checkmark from the option that says Enable background error checking. That should fix that issue.
For more Excel tips, look at ExcelTip.com… there’s some things I didn’t look at out there about VB code and macros. I know a couple of people mentioned they were interested. See you all tonight!

I took a few moments over the weekend to review the textbook’s online resources made available by the publisher. Unfortunately, if you go to the web site listed on the back of your Exploring Excel 2003 textbook, you get an updated version written for the Office 2007 version.
However, there is a link off of that page to the previous Exploring Office 2003 web site. You will find a link to the Student Resources page, which I believe gives you a .ZIP file of all the Excel spreadsheets that are on the CD-ROM that came with your textbook. There are also some PowerPoint presentations on that page, which I won’t be using in class, but might be of some help to you.
Then again, if that’s not enough, there’s always the official Microsoft web site.
