Microsoft Visio 2010 : Visualizing Your Data - Using Existing Data Graphics

In this exercise, you will work with the data graphics that are built into a sample diagram that is included with Visio 2010. First, you will learn how to turn data graphics off, then you will learn how to apply them to selected shapes.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Visualizing Your Data - Enhancing Diagrams with Data-Driven Graphics

A person using a Visio diagram you create can learn a lot about the subject of the diagram based on your choice of shapes, their positions on the page, how they are connected, and many other visual cues. However, if your diagram is connected to an external data source, it can convey so much more information.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 : Formatting Text Boxes (part 3) - Changing Text Box Rotation, Changing Text Direction, Setting Internal Margins

PowerPoint 2010 provides several types of rotation. You can spin things around a center point (the traditional 2-D type of rotation), or you can apply several 3-D rotation effects. However, the 3-D type is not well suited for text boxes because it tends to distort the text.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 : Formatting Text Boxes (part 2) - Controlling Vertical Alignment

The vertical alignment is the positioning of the text vertically within the text box. The default vertical alignment is Top, which means that if there is extra space in the text box, it congregates at the bottom.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 : Formatting Text Boxes (part 1) - Applying Fills and Outlines, Setting Fill Transparency

After you've set the text box's fill to Background, the Shape Styles presets no longer work on it until you go back into the Format Shape dialog box and set the fill to Solid Fill or one of the other fills.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 : Formatting Paragraphs and Text Boxes - Adjusting Line Spacing, Changing Horizontal Alignment

Depending on the theme, PowerPoint leaves varying amounts of space between lines and between paragraphs. The default blank theme leaves some extra space between each paragraph to make the divisions between them clearer; other themes tighten this up.

Microsoft Excel 2010 : Collaborating with Colleagues - Saving Workbooks for the Web

With Excel, you can save your workbooks as Web documents, so you and your colleagues can view workbooks over the Internet or an organization’s intranet. For a document to be viewable on the Web, it must be saved as a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file.

Microsoft Excel 2010 : Collaborating with Colleagues - Authenticating Workbooks

The unfortunate reality of exchanging files over networks, especially over the Internet, is that you need to be sure you know the origin of the files you’re working with. One way an organization can guard against files with viruses or substitute data is to authenticate every workbook using a digital signature.

Microsoft Word 2010 : Sharing a Document Through Windows Live and Word Web App (part 3) - Using Word Web App - Opening a Document with Word Web App

Microsoft OneNore 2010 : Inserting Pictures and Screen Clippings (part 4) - Collecting All Future Screen Clippings in One Place

If you want to make the process of collecting multiple screen clippings a complete no-brainer, consider creating a special section in your main notebook that you’ll use as the automatic target destination for all of your future screen clippings.

Microsoft OneNore 2010 : Inserting Pictures and Screen Clippings (part 3) - Inserting a Screen Clipping with Quick Filing

If you plan to import a whole bunch of information as screen clippings and you don’t want to always first go to the place in your notes where the images should be placed, you can use an alternate way of inserting them.

Microsoft OneNore 2010 : Inserting Pictures and Screen Clippings (part 2) - Inserting a Picture from a Scanner, Inserting a Screen Clipping on the Current Page

If you have a scanner, it’s easy to import pictures that you don’t already have in a digital format. This is not only a convenient way of importing old photographs, but for scanning business cards, receipts, sketches, napkin scribbles, and diagrams as well.

OneNote 2010 does it one better. It matches the ability of a paper binder to keep everything together and take it all with you, but it also lets you easily find everything again. With OneNote, you’ll also never have to worry about one of the scraps of paper falling out of your notebook.

Microsoft OneNore 2010 : Collecting and Researching Information - Meet the OneNote Screen Clipper and Launcher

This small but useful program is often overlooked for two main reasons. For one, it’s placed in the Windows Startup folder on your computer when OneNote 2010 is first installed (see Figure 1).

Microsoft Outlook 2010 : Using RSS Feeds in Outlook (part 3) - Managing Messages

RSS feed messages are much like e-mail messages you receive in your Inbox. You can mark them as read or unread, delete them, download full article content, move them from one folder to another, and delete the items.

Microsoft Outlook 2010 : Using RSS Feeds in Outlook (part 2) - Managing Folders

When you add an RSS feed, Outlook creates a folder to contain the items downloaded from that feed. You can change the name or location of the folder when you add the feed.

When your computer is connected to the Internet, Outlook offers a page of Office-related quick links that you can browse and add, or you can add feeds by typing the URL for the feed. To view the list of Office feeds, just click the RSS Feeds branch in the Navigation Pane.

Microsoft Access 2010 : Customizing Fields - Indexing Field Values, Validating Data Entry

When you create an index of a field’s values, Access 2010 maintains an internal record of the values in a field, which the program can then use to find table records with specific values. Access 2010 always keeps an index of a table’s primary key field’s values.

Microsoft Access 2010 : Customizing Fields - Assigning Required Fields and Requiring Data Entry, Setting Default Values

Some data is more important than other data. For example, a salesperson might need to know a contact’s phone number, but not necessarily the contact’s address. You can tell Access 2010 to prevent someone from moving beyond a required field without entering a value.

Microsoft Access 2010 : Customizing Fields - Formatting Field Contents, Creating Input Masks

Access 2010 lets you choose how to display the contents of data in your tables. For example, you can display the field’s contents in all upper- or lowercase letters, change the color of the text, or display characters in addition to the data entered into the field.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Working Around the Diagram - Using Visio Windows

Visio is a multiple-document interface (MDI) application, which means you can have several documents open at once, and all the documents are contained within Visio’s main window. Contrast this with, for example, Microsoft Word, in which each document has an entirely separate window.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Working Around the Diagram - Using Themes to Change the Look of Pages and Documents

Themes allow you to change the look of a single page or all pages in your document at the click of a mouse. Using themes is much easier than formatting individual shapes, and themes help you maintain consistency in your diagram.

Microsoft Project 2010 : Working with Resources (part 2) - Grouping Resources, Filtering Resources

Use filters to select all the resources that meet some condition that you specify. For example, you might want to select all your material resources. This condition—that the resource type must be Material—is called the filter criterion. Project has a built-in filter named the Resources–Material filter that implements this criterion for you.

Microsoft Project 2010 : Working with Resources (part 1) - Setting the Automatically Add New Resources and Tasks Option, Sorting Resources

The resource names in the Resource Sheet view are normally listed according to ID number, which initially reflects the order in which you enter the resources. Project enables you to temporarily sort the resource list for analysis purposes.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 : Working with Animation and Transitions - Customizing Animations on the Animation Pane

The tools available on the Animations tab should suit most of your animation needs. However, if you want to customize your animations even more, you can do so on the Animation pane. For example, you use this task pane to set animation effects for text, charts, SmartArt graphics, and media clips.
