Real-world exercises provide hands-on practice in these areas.

In Recording and Using Macros, you’ll learn to automate repetitive tasks. Record macros, copy them between workbooks, and run and edit them for streamlined productivity. You'll also learn to add macros to the Quick Access Toolbar and manage their security settings through targeted exercises.

The Random Useful Items section offers insights into inserting and customizing Sparklines, and exercises on preparing your workbook for internationalization and accessibility. This part of the course includes practical guides on importing and exporting files, including how to copy data and charts from Excel to Word.
