Microsoft Word 2010 : Working with Styles (part 3) - Deleting Styles, Revealing Formatting

From the Form view, you can apply a filter to view a select group of records. You do this when you want to focus on a select group of records. For example, you may just want to work with the records in the Customers table where the contact title is owner.

Microsoft OneNote 2010 : Taking Notes (part 2) - Creating More Writing Space in the Middle of a Page, Creating More Writing Space at the End of a Page

Ever take notes in a paper notebook during a class or a meeting, only to find the presenter jumping back to a previous topic, erasing part of the whiteboard, and writing down more important things? Now you have to scribble little subnotes on your paper pages to later remind you of the order in which the information was talked about.

Microsoft OneNote 2010 : Taking Notes (part 1)

Aside from typing, one of the easiest ways to bring information into OneNote is by copying text from any file, document, or web page and pasting it on your notes pages.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Printing Scenarios (part 4) - Printing High-Quality Materials

Visio is a vector-based graphics program, and vectors print smoothly, using the full resolution of the printer. Bitmaps are collections of dots that get uglier as you blow them up, so exporting to an image seems to go against the whole purpose of using vectors in the first place.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Printing Scenarios (part 3) - Printing Multiple Drawings on a Single Sheet, Printing Scaled Drawings at Reduced Size

When you reduce a scaled drawing, it is important to note that scale notations on the drawing are no longer accurate. Better yet, use a physical scale symbol that visually shows the scale of the drawing.

If you have mixed landscape and portrait page orientations across pages, be sure that the Print Setup and Page Size settings for orientation agree for each page.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Printing Scenarios (part 1) - Printing Tiled Drawings

If you create flowcharts and other connected diagrams using the AutoSize feature, you have a sort of flipped situation. As your diagram grows, your drawing is tiled across several drawing pages, and will print on several sheets of paper by default.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Understanding Printing

The Page Setup dialog, which is accessible from many places in Visio, enables you to control these settings. Paper and print zoom settings are set on the Print Setup tab, and the Page Size tab controls page configuration.

Microsoft Project 2010 : Creating Master Schedules (part 2) - Setting Up Cross-Project Links

After you've set up a master file with inserted subprojects, you can create links from one project to another. Cross-project linking enables project managers to link tasks in one project to tasks in another project.

Microsoft Project 2010 : Creating Master Schedules (part 1) - Setting Up a Master Project File

A master project is a file that contains inserted projects from other source files that can be linked dynamically. If you choose to link to the source file, then every time the source file is modified or changed in any way, the master file is automatically updated to reflect those changes.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 : Fine-Tune Visual Elements (part 4) - Arranging Graphics

You already know how to plot data in simple charts and how to edit that data in the associated Microsoft Excel worksheet. Often, you will need nothing more than these basic techniques to be able to convey your numeric data in a visual format.

If you customize a diagram and then decide you preferred the original version, you can revert to the original by clicking the Reset Graphic button in the Reset group on the Design contextual tab.

PowerPoint 2010 gives you the tools you need to create graphic-intensive rather than text-intensive presentations.

The Outlook 2010 voting feature is useful when you want to solicit input from a group of message recipients. Perhaps you are looking for approval on a proposal, you are holding an informal election in your organization, or you just want to get the group's input on an issue.

Microsoft Outlook 2010 : Using Outlook with Exchange Server (part 1) - Sending Messages

When you send messages in Outlook 2010 while connected to Exchange Server, you have more options than you do when you use a regular Internet mail account—for example, you have the ability to recall messages, and you have access to a Global Address List (GAL).

Microsoft Excel 2010 : Understanding Frequency Distributions (part 3) - Building Simulated Frequency Distributions

Begin by clicking the button labeled Clear Records in Column A. All the numbers will be deleted from column A, leaving only the header value in cell A1. (The pivot table and pivot chart will remain as they were: It’s a characteristic of pivot tables and pivot charts that they do not respond immediately to changes in their underlying data sources.)

Microsoft Excel 2010 : Understanding Frequency Distributions (part 2) - Building a Frequency Distribution from a Sample

Conceptually, it’s easy to build a frequency distribution. Take a sample of people or things and measure each member of the sample on the variable that interests you. Your next step depends on how much sophistication you want to bring to the project.

Microsoft Excel 2010 : Understanding Frequency Distributions (part 1) - Using Frequency Distributions

It’s helpful to use frequency distributions in statistical analysis for two broad reasons. One concerns visualizing how a variable is distributed across people or objects. The other concerns how to make inferences about a population of people or objects on the basis of a sample.

Microsoft Excel 2010 : Charting Numeric Variables in Excel

Since the 1990s at least, Excel has called this sort of chart an XY (Scatter) chart. In its 2007 version, Excel started referring to it as an XY chart in some places, as a Scatter chart in others, and as an XY (Scatter) chart in still others.
