    Macro Tutorial for Word and Excel


    Here is an excellent one-page Word and Excel Macro Tutorial from Brown University. This will help you understand when to use and how to create macros for Word and Excel.

    According to Microsoft, “If you perform a task repeatedly in Word, you can automate the task by using a macro. A macro is a series of Word commands and instructions that you group together as a single command to accomplish a task automatically. Instead of manually performing a series of time-consuming, repetitive actions in Word, you can create and run a single macro, in effect, a custom command, that accomplishes the task for you.

    Here are some typical uses for macros:

     - To speed up routine editing and formatting
     - To combine multiple commands; for example, inserting a table with a specific size and borders
     - To automate a complex series of tasks.


    Macro Tutorial Objectives:

     - Understand what a macro is and how it works
     - Learn how to conceptualize and record your own macros
     - Learn how to run them simply and efficiently via shortcut keys
     - Learn how to install pre-written macros
     - Learn how to save and embed them into your documents

    1-page HTML Tutorial


    This is a quick 1-page HTML Tutorial, from Brown University. It goes over the basics of coding HTML for your web pages, as shown in the contents below. HTML (or Hypertext Markup Language) is the actual code that web pages are written in. HTML controls the structure of your webpage (where things are placed on the screen) as well as some aspects of the appearance (how text and other items are displayed).

    Although you can develop web pages using a graphical user interface using applications such as Dreamweaver and FrontPage without learning or using HTML, HTML is still useful for tweaking and making those webpages more exciting and efficient. Therefore, using these applications along with manually editing the HTML code can make you a more effective web site developer and designer.


    Contents of this 1-page HTML Tutorial:

     - Web Publishing Process
     - Tag Basics
     - Simple HTML Page
     - Tag Properties
     - Images
     - Links
     - Special Characters and More on White Spaces
     - Lists
     - Naming and Coding Conventions
     - Resources
