Lab 01: Introduction to Microsoft Word
Objective(s):
To Learn the Basics of Microsoft Word
GETTING FAMILIAR WITH MICROSOFT WORD 2007
Microsoft Word is a word processing software package. You can use it to type letters, reports, and
other documents. This tutorial teaches Microsoft Word 2007 basics. Although this tutorial was
created for the computer novice, because Microsoft Word 2007 is so different from previous versions
of Microsoft Word, even experienced users may find it useful.
This lesson will introduce you to the Word window. You use this window to interact with Word. To
begin this lesson, open Microsoft Word 2007. The Microsoft Word window appears and your screen
looks similar to the one shown here.
Note: Your screen will probably not look exactly like the screen shown. In Word 2007, how a
window displays depends on the size of your window, the size of your monitor, and the resolution to
which your monitor is set. Resolution determines how much information your computer monitor can
display. If you use a low resolution, less information fits on your screen, but the size of your text and
images are larger. If you use a high resolution, more information fits on your screen, but the size of

the text and images are smaller. Also, Word 2007, Windows Vista, and Windows XP have settings
that allow you to change the color and style of your windows.
THE MICROSOFT OFFICE BUTTON
In the upper-left corner of the Word 2007 window is the Microsoft Office button. When you click
the button, a menu appears. You can use the menu to create a new file, open an existing file, save a
file, and perform many other tasks.
THE QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR
Next to the Microsoft Office button is the Quick Access toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar provides
you with access to commands you frequently use. By default Save, Undo, and Redo appear on the
Quick Access toolbar. You can use Save to save your file, Undo to rollback an action you have taken,
and Redo to reapply an action you have rolled back.
THE TITLE BAR
Next to the Quick Access toolbar is the Title bar. The Title bar displays the title of the document on
which you are currently working. Word names the first new document you open Document1. As you
open additional new documents, Word names them sequentially. When you save your document, you
assign the document a new name.
THE RIBBON
You use commands to tell Microsoft Word what to do. In Microsoft Word 2007, you use the Ribbon to
issue commands. The Ribbon is located near the top of the screen, below the Quick Access toolbar. At
the top of the Ribbon are several tabs; clicking a tab displays several related command groups. Within
each group are related command buttons. You click buttons to issue commands or to access menus and
dialog boxes. You may also find a dialog box launcher in the bottom-right corner of a group. Clicking
the dialog box launcher gives you access to additional commands via a dialog box.

THE RULER
The ruler is found below the Ribbon.
You can use the ruler to change the format of your document quickly. If your ruler is not visible,
follow the steps listed here:

Click the View tab to choose it.
Click the check box next to Ruler in the Show/Hide group. The ruler appears below the Ribbon.
THE TEXT AREA
Just below the ruler is a large area called the text area. You type your document in the text area. The
blinking vertical line in the upper-left corner of the text area is the cursor. It marks the insertion point.
As you type, your text displays at the cursor location. The horizontal line next to the cursor marks the
end of the document.

THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL SCROLL BARS
The vertical and horizontal scroll bars enable you to move up, down, and across your window simply
by dragging the icon located on the scroll bar. The vertical scroll bar is located along the right side
of the screen. The horizontal scroll bar is located just above the status bar. To move up and down
your document, click and drag the vertical scroll bar up and down. To move back and forth across
your document, click and drag the horizontal scroll bar back and forth. You won't see a horizontal
scroll bar if the width of your document fits on your screen.
THE STATUS BAR
The Status bar appears at the very bottom of your window and provides such information as the
current page and the number of words in your document. You can change what displays on the Status
bar by right-clicking on the Status bar and selecting the options you want from the Customize Status
Bar menu. You click a menu item to select it. You click it again to deselect it. A check mark next to
an item means it is selected.

UNDERSTANDING DOCUMENT VIEWS
In Word 2007, you can display your document in one of five views: Draft, Web Layout, Print Layout,
Full Screen Reading, or Online Layout.
Draft View
Draft view is the most frequently used view. You use Draft view to quickly edit your document.
Web Layout
Web Layout view enables you to see your document as it would appear in a browser such as Internet Explorer.
Print Layout
The Print Layout view shows the document as it will look when it is printed.
Reading Layout
Reading Layout view formats your screen to make reading your document more comfortable.
Outline View

Outline view displays the document in outline form. You can display headings without the text. If you move a heading, the
accompanying text moves with it.
You should use Draft view for these lessons. Before moving ahead, make sure you are in Draft view:

Click the View tab.
Click Draft in the Document Views group. When the Draft option is selected it appears in a contrasting color.
UNDERSTANDING NONPRINTING CHARACTERS
Certain characters, called nonprinting characters, do not print and will not appear in your printed
document but do affect your document layout. You can elect to see these characters on the screen as
you type or you can elect to have them remain invisible. For these lessons, opt to see them onscreen.
This table describes most of them:

CREATE SAMPLE DATA AND SELECT TEXT
If you type =rand() in your Word document and then press Enter, Word creates three paragraphs.
PLACE THE CURSOR
During the lessons, you will often be asked to place the cursor at a specific location (the insertion
point) on the screen. You place the cursor by moving the cursor to the specified location and pressing
the left mouse button or by using the arrow keys to move to the specified location.
Cursor

2.
Move around you document by using you mouse and clicking in a variety of location.
Click in a location and type. Note what happens.
START A NEW PARAGRAPH
When you type in Microsoft Word, you do not need to press a key to move to a new line. To start a
new paragraph, press the Enter key.
TYPE, BACKSPACE, AND DELETE
In Microsoft Word, you create documents by typing them. For example, if you want to create a report,
you open Microsoft Word and then begin typing. You do not have to do anything when your text
reaches the end of a line and you want to move to a new line— Microsoft Word automatically moves
your text to a new line. If you want to start a new paragraph, press Enter. Microsoft word creates a
blank line to indicate the start of a new paragraph. To capitalize, hold down the Shift key while typing
Department of Computer Sciences
10/239
CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology
Semester SPRING 2018
Lab01: Introduction to Microsoft Word
the letter you want to capitalize. If you make a mistake, you can delete what you typed and then type
your correction.
You can use the Backspace key to delete. Each time you press the Backspace key, Microsoft Word
deletes the character that precedes the insertion point. The insertion point is the point at which your
mouse pointer is located. You can also delete text by using the Delete key. First, you select the text
you want to delete; then you press the Delete key.
INSERT AND OVERTYPE
While creating your document, you may find you need to insert text—place new text between existing
text. Suppose, you type the sentence, "Joe has a large boat." After typing it, you decide you want to
change the sentence to "Joe has a large blue boat." With Microsoft Word, inserting a word, phrase,
or even several paragraphs is easy.
Alternatively, you may want to overtype text—replace old text with new text. For example, suppose
you type the sentence, "Joe has a large blue boat." After typing it, you decide you want to change the
sentence to "Joe has a large gray boat." With Microsoft Word, overtyping the word blue with the
word gray is also easy. Before you attempt to insert or overtype, you should check the mode you are
in—Insert or Overtype. You right-click the Status bar and then use the Customize Status Bar menu
to place the Insert/Overtype button on the Status bar. You can then use the Insert/Overtype button to
switch between Insert and Overtype mode. When you are in Insert mode, you can insert text. When
you are in Overtype mode, you can overtype text. By default, Microsoft Word is in the Insert mode.
BOLD, ITALICIZE, AND UNDERLINE
When creating a document, you may need to emphasize particular words or phrases by bolding,
underlining, or italicizing. Also, certain grammatical constructs require that you bold, underline, or
italicize. You can bold, underline, and italicize when using Word. You also can combine these
features—in other words, you can bold, underline, and italicize a single piece of text.
When you need to perform a task in Microsoft Word, you can usually choose from several methods. The
exercises that follow show you how to bold, underline, or italicize using four different methods: using
the launcher, the Ribbon, the Mini-toolbar/context menu, and the keyboard.

Semester SPRING 2018
Lab01: Introduction to Microsoft Word
To begin a new Word project, you start by opening a new document.To begin this lesson, open a blank
document in Microsoft Word.
ADD SAMPLE TEXT
This lesson uses sample text provided by Microsoft for training and demonstration purposes. You
can type the text; however, there is a quicker way. You can use the rand function.
Functions are used to obtain information. You tell the function what you want and the function returns
that information to you. By default, in Word, when you type the rand function, Word returns three
paragraphs. When working with functions, you use arguments to be specific about what you want the
function to return. There are two arguments you can use with the rand function. The first one tells
Word how many paragraphs you want, and the second one tells Word how many sentences you want
in a paragraph. You place arguments between the parentheses and you separate them with a comma.
For example, if you type =rand() and then press Enter, word returns three paragraphs. To tell Word
you want two paragraphs with three sentences in each paragraph, you type =rand(2,3).
ADD SPACE BEFORE OR AFTER PARAGRAPHS
When creating a document, space is often used to clearly identify where each paragraph begins and
ends. By default, Word may place slightly more space between paragraphs than it does between lines
in a paragraph. You can increase or decrease the amount of space that appears before and after
paragraphs by entering amounts in the Before and After fields in the Paragraph section of the Page
Layout tab. Use the up arrows next to the Before and After fields to increase the amount of space
before or after each paragraph; use the down arrows to decrease the amount of space before or after
each paragraph. The following illustrates:

Click the up arrow next to the Spacing After field to increase the amount of space after the paragraph.
Note: You can click the down arrows next to the Spacing Before and the Spacing After fields to
decrease the amount of space before or after a paragraph. You can also type the amount of space you
want to use directly into the fields. Space is measured in points. There are 72 points to an inch.
CHANGE LINE SPACING
Line spacing sets the amount of space between lines within a paragraph. The spacing for each line is
set to accommodate the largest font on that line. If the lines include smaller fonts, there will appear
to be extra space between lines where the smaller fonts are located. At 1.5, the line spacing is set to
one-and-a-half times the single-space amount. At 2.0, the line spacing is set to two times the singlespace amount (double space).

Some people and organizations delineate the start of a new paragraph by indenting the first line. If
you want to indent the first line of your paragraphs, you can use the Paragraph dialog box to set the
amount by which you want to indent. In the Special Field of the Paragraph dialog box, you tell Word
you want to indent the first line by choosing First Line from the menu options. In the By field, you
tell Word the amount, in inches by which you want to indent.

If you have lists of data, you may want to bullet or number them. When using Microsoft Word,
bulleting and numbering are easy. The first part of this lesson teaches you to bullet and number.
After you have completed your document, you may want to share it with others. One way to share
your document is to print and distribute it. However, before you print you may want to add page
numbers and tell Word such things as the page orientation, the paper size, and the margin setting you
want to use. In this lesson you will learn how to layout and how to print your documents.

Lab 03: Introduction to Microsoft Excel.
Objective(s):
To learn the basics of Microsoft Excel to learn how to depict data graphically.
The Microsoft Excel Window
Microsoft Excel is an electronic spreadsheet. You can use it to organize your data into rows
and columns. You can also use it to perform mathematical calculations quickly. This tutorial
teaches Microsoft Excel basics. Although knowledge of how to navigate in a Windows
environment is helpful, this tutorial was created for the computer novice.
This lesson will introduce you to the Excel window. You use the window to interact with Excel.
To begin this lesson, start Microsoft Excel 2007. The Microsoft Excel window appears and your
screen looks similar to the one shown here.

CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology
Semester SPRING 2018
Lab03: Introduction to Microsoft Excel
Note: Your screen will probably not look exactly like the screen shown. In Excel 2007, how a
window displays depends on the size of your window, the size of your monitor, and the
resolution to which your monitor is set. Resolution determines how much information your
computer monitor can display. If you use a low resolution, less information fits on your
screen, but the size of your text and images are larger. If you use a high resolution, more
information fits on your screen, but the size of the text and images are smaller. Also, settings
in Excel 2007, Windows Vista, and Windows XP allow you to change the color and style of
your windows.
The Microsoft Office Button
In the upper-left corner of the Excel 2007 window is the Microsoft Office button. When you
click the button, a menu appears. You can use the menu to create a new file, open an existing
file, save a file, and perform many other tasks.
The Quick Access Toolbar
Next to the Microsoft Office button is the Quick Access toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar
gives you with access to commands you frequently use. By default, Save, Undo, and Redo
appear on the Quick Access toolbar. You can use Save to save your file, Undo to roll back an
action you have taken, and Redo to reapply an action you have rolled back.
The Title Bar
Next to the Quick Access toolbar is the Title bar. On the Title bar, Microsoft Excel displays the
name of the workbook you are currently using. At the top of the Excel window, you should see
"Microsoft Excel - Book1" or a similar name.
The Ribbon

Lab03: Introduction to Microsoft Excel
You use commands to tell Microsoft Excel what to do. In Microsoft Excel 2007, you use the
Ribbon to issue commands. The Ribbon is located near the top of the Excel window, below
the Quick Access toolbar. At the top of the Ribbon are several tabs; clicking a tab displays
several related command groups. Within each group are related command buttons. You click
buttons to issue commands or to access menus and dialog boxes. You may also find a dialog
box launcher in the bottom-right corner of a group. When you click the dialog box launcher, a
dialog box makes additional commands available.
Worksheets
Microsoft Excel consists of worksheets. Each worksheet contains columns and rows. The
columns are lettered A to Z and then continuing with AA, AB, AC and so on; the rows are

numbered 1 to 1,048,576. The number of columns and rows you can have in a worksheet is
limited by your computer memory and your system resources.
The combination of a column coordinate and a row coordinate make up a cell address. For
example, the cell located in the upper-left corner of the worksheet is cell A1, meaning
column A, row 1. Cell E10 is located under column E on row 10. You enter your data into
the cells on the worksheet.
The Formula Bar
Formula Bar
If the Formula bar is turned on, the cell address of the cell you are in displays in the
Name box which is located on the left side of the Formula bar. Cell entries display on the right
side of the Formula bar. If you do not see the Formula bar in your window, perform the following
steps:

Copy, Cut, Paste, and Cell Addressing
In Excel, you can copy data from one area of a worksheet and place the data you copied
anywhere in the same or another worksheet. In other words, after you type information into a
worksheet, if you want to place the same information somewhere else, you do not have to
retype the information. You simple copy it and then paste it in the new location.
You can use Excel's Cut feature to remove information from a worksheet. Then you can use the
Paste feature to place the information you cut anywhere in the same or another worksheet. In
other words, you can move information from one place in a worksheet to another place in the
same or different worksheet by using the Cut and Paste features.
Department of Computer Sciences

CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology
Semester SPRING 2018
Lab03: Introduction to Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel records cell addresses in formulas in three different ways, called absolute,
relative, and mixed. The way a formula is recorded is important when you copy it. With
relative cell addressing, when you copy a formula from one area of the worksheet to another,
Excel records the position of the cell relative to the cell that originally contained the formula.
With absolute cell addressing, when you copy a formula from one area of the worksheet to
another, Excel references the same cells, no matter where you copy the formula. You can use
mixed cell addressing to keep the row constant while the column changes, or vice versa. The
following exercises demonstrate.

all the text. It left-aligns the text regardless of the alignment you have assigned to it, and it
borrows space from the blank cells to the right. However, a long text entry will never write

Creating Excel Functions and Filling Cells
By using functions, you can quickly and easily make many useful calculations, such as finding
an average, the highest number, the lowest number, and a count of the number of iteMicrosoft in
a list. Microsoft Excel has many functions that you can use.
Using Reference Operators
To use functions, you need to understand reference operators. Reference operators refer to a
cell or a group of cells. There are two types of reference operators: range and union.
A range reference refers to all the cells between and including the reference. A range reference
consists of two cell addresses separated by a colon. The reference A1:A3 includes cells A1,
A2, and A3. The reference A1:C3 includes cells A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, and C3.
A union reference includes two or more references. A union reference consists of two or more
numbers, range references, or cell addresses separated by a comma. The reference
A7,B8:B10,C9,10 refers to cells A7, B8 to B10, C9 and the number 10.
Understanding Functions
Functions are prewritten formulas. Functions differ from regular formulas in that you supply the
value but not the operators, such as +, -, *, or /. For example, you can use the SUM function to
add. When using a function, remember the following:
Use an equal sign to begin a formula.
Department of Computer Sciences
111/239
CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology
Semester SPRING 2018
Lab03: Introduction to Microsoft Excel
Specify the function name.
Enclose arguments within parentheses. Arguments are values on which you want to perform the
calculation. For example, arguments specify the numbers or cells you want to add.
Use a comma to separate arguments.
Here is an example of a function:
=SUM(2,13,A1,B2:C7)
In this function:
The equal sign begins the function.
SUM is the name of the function.
2, 13, A1, and B2:C7 are the arguments.
Parentheses enclose the arguments.
Commas separate the arguments.
After you type the first letter of a function name, the AutoComplete list appears. You can
double-click on an item in the AutoComplete list to complete your entry quickly. Excel will
complete the function name and enter the first parenthesis.

Lab 04: Introduction to Microsoft Power Point
Objective(s) :
To become familiarize with the features of Microsoft Power Point.
The PowerPoint Window
PowerPoint is a presentation software package. With PowerPoint, you can easily create slide shows.
Trainers and other presenters use slide shows to illustrate their presentations.
This lesson introduces you to the PowerPoint window. You use the window to interact with the
software. To begin, open PowerPoint 2007. The window appears and your screen looks similar to the
one shown.
Note: Your screen will probably not look exactly like the screen shown. In PowerPoint 2007, how a
window displays depends on the size of the window, the size of your monitor, and the resolution to
which your monitor is set. Resolution determines how much information your computer monitor can
display. If you use a low resolution, less information fits on your screen, but the size of your text and
images are larger. If you use a high resolution, more information fits on your screen, but the size of
the text and images are smaller. Also, settings in PowerPoint 2007, Windows Vista, and Windows
XP allow you to change the color and style of your windows.

Animations, Transitions, Spell Check, Outline Tab, Slides Tab and Sorter
View
Animations control how objects move onto, off of, and around your slides. Transitions control how
your presentation moves from one slide to the next. This lesson teaches you how to create animations
and transitions. It also teaches how to spell-check your document, how to use the Outline and Slides
tabs, how to use Sorter view, and how to print.
Add Animations
You can animate the objects on your PowerPoint slides. PowerPoint provides four types of
animations: Entrance, Emphasis, Exit, and Motion Paths. An Entrance animation determines the
manner in which an object appears on a slide; for example, an object can move onto a slide. An
Emphasis animation does something to draw attention to an object; for example, the object can
become larger. An Exit animation determines the manner in which an object leaves a slide; for
example, an object can move off a slide. A Motion Paths animation determines how an object moves
around a slide; for example, an object can move from left to right.
After you add an animation, you can use the Custom Animation pane to modify it by choosing an
effect. Choosing an effect enables you to define what starts the animation, its properties (such the
direction from which an object moves onto the slide), and control the speed of the animation. In
addition, you can have an animation start when you click the mouse, start along with the previous
animation, or start at a specified time after the previous animation.

Action Buttons
In PowerPoint, you have the ability to link to a webpage, email address,
file, slide in the same presentation, and slide in a different presentation.
You can do all of this using two tools called hyperlinks and action
buttons.
In this lesson, you will learn how to insert hyperlinks using text and
objects, as well as how to insert an action button.

Inserting action buttons
In addition to hyperlinks, another tool you can use to connect to a webpage, file, email address, or slide is called an
action button, or action link. Action buttons are built-in button shapes you can add to a presentation and use as
hyperlinks. When someone clicks or moves over the button, the action can occur.
Hyperlinks and action buttons are closely connected and can do many of the same things. Action buttons are used
most for self-running presentations, such as those at a trade show booth or kiosk.
To insert an action button on all slides:

Lab 05: Introduction to Microsoft Access
Objective(s) :
To become familiarize with the features of Microsoft Access.
Getting Familiar with Microsoft Access 2007
Microsoft Access is a database software package. A database is an organized collection of records.
Telephone and address books are examples of paper databases. With Access, you can create a
computerized database. For example, you can use Access to organize the students who attend a
school, the courses they take, and the instructors who teach them. After you create an Access
database, you can search it, manipulate it, and extract information from it. This lesson introduces you
to Access windows and teaches you how to create a database.
Getting Started
You use windows to interact with Access. To begin, start Access 2007. You screen will look similar
to the one shown here.

The Microsoft Office Button
In the upper-left corner of the Access window is the Microsoft Office button. When you click the
button, a menu appears. You can use the menu to create a new file, open an existing file, save a file,
and perform many other tasks.
The Quick Access Toolbar
Next to the Microsoft Office button is the Quick Access toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar provides
you with access to commands you frequently use. By default, Save, Undo, and Redo appear on the
Quick Access toolbar. You use Save to save an object, Undo to roll back an action you have taken,
and Redo to reapply an action you have rolled back.
The Title Bar
The Title bar is located at the top in the center of the Access window. The Title bar displays the
name of the database on which you are currently working.
The Ribbon
You use commands to tell Access what to do. In Access 2007, you use the Ribbon to issue
commands. The Ribbon is located near the top of the Access window, below the Quick Access
toolbar. At the top of the Ribbon are several tabs; clicking a tab displays related command groups.
Within each group are related command buttons. You click buttons to issue commands or to access
menus and dialog boxes. You may also find a dialog box launcher in the bottom-right corner of a
group. When you click the dialog box launcher , a dialog box makes additional commands
available.

Access Objects
To view or hide the objects on the Navigation pane:


You click the double down-arrows to view objects. The double down-arrows change to
double up-arrows .
You click the double up-arrows to hide objects. The double up-arrows change to double
down-arrows .
As stated earlier, the Navigation pane stores the objects in your database: tables, queries, forms,
reports, macros, and modules. Objects always display with an icon to the right. The icon tells you the
object type:
table,
query,
form,
report,
macro, and
module.
Objects
Tables
In Access, data is stored in tables. A table is a set of columns and
rows, with each column referred to as a field. Each value in a field
represents a single type of data. Each row of a table is referred to
as a record.
Queries
You use queries to retrieve specific data from your database and to
answer questions about your data. For example, you can use a
query to find the names of the employees in your database who
live in a particular state.
Forms
Forms give you the ability to choose the format and arrangement
of fields. You can use a form to enter, edit, and display data.
Reports
Reports organize or summarize your data so you can print it or
view it onscreen. You often use reports when you want to analyze
your data or present your data to others.
Macros
Macros give you the ability to automate tasks. You can use a
macro to add functionality to a form, report, or control.
Modules
Like macros, modules give you the ability to automate tasks and
add functionality to a form, report, or control. Macros are created
by choosing from a list of macro actions, whereas modules are

written in Visual Basic for Applications.
You double-click an object to open the object. You right-click an object to view a menu of options.
You can use the menu to do such things as open objects, rename objects, and delete objects.
Objects that are open appear on tabs. Right-click a tab to view a menu of options you can perform,
such as save the object, close the object, or change the view.
Change Views
A view is a way of looking at an object. For example, in Access, data is stored in tables. Two of the
possible ways you can view a table are Datasheet view and Design view. You can see the data
contained in a table in Datasheet view. You can see the design of a table in Design view. When you
open an object, buttons appear in the lower-right corner of the Access window. You can use the
View button on the Home tab to change views, or you can click the proper button in the lower-right
corner of the window.
Create a Database
When you start Access, the Getting Started With Microsoft Office Access screen appears. You can
use this screen to create a database. Within a database, you can do such things as enter data, create
reports, and retrieve data. You can create a blank database or you can use one of the templates
provided by Microsoft. When you use a template, Access creates forms you can use to enter data,
reports you can use to retrieve data, and more. You can modify the forms, reports, and other objects
to suit your needs. This tutorial will teach you how.

Create a Blank Database
A blank database is a database with nothing in it. You must create all the tables, forms, reports,
queries, and so on. If you cannot find a template that suits your needs, create a blank database. After
you create the database, Access opens to a datasheet and makes available the tools you need to create
objects. Creating tables is the first step in building a database. You will learn more about creating
tables in the next lesson.
To create a blank database:
1. Start Access.
2. Click Blank Database.

Lab 05: Introduction to Microsoft Access
What is a Datasheet?
In Access, data is stored in tables. A datasheet displays the information stored in a table in columns
and rows. The columns are called fields and the rows are called records. You can use a datasheet to
create a table, enter data, retrieve data, and perform other tasks.
Creating Microsoft Access Tables
Tables are the foundation of an Access database. Access stores data in tables. This lesson teaches
you how to create a table, add fields to a table, assign data types to fields, and set field properties.
Understanding Tables
A table is a set of columns and rows. Each column is called a field. Within a table, each field must be
given a name and no two fields can have the same name. Each value in a field represents a single
category of data. For example, a table might have three fields: Last Name, First Name, and Phone
Number. The table consists of three columns: one for last name, one for first name, and one for
phone number. In every row of the table, the Last Name field contains the last name, the First Name
field contains the first name, and the Phone Number field contains the phone number. Each row in a
table is called a record.
All of the data in a table should refer to the same subject. For example, all of the data in the
Employees table should refer to employees, all of the data in the Students table should refer to
students, and all of the data in the Courses table should refer to courses.
Department of Computer Sciences
172/239
CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology
Semester SPRING 2018
Lab 05: Introduction to Microsoft Access
You can view an Access database as a collection of related tables. For example, in a database that
contains tables for Employees, Students, and Courses, the Employees table lists the employees, the
Students table lists students, and the Courses table lists the courses students can take.
After Access creates a blank database, it opens in Datasheet view and makes available the tools you
need to create a table. Datasheet view displays a table as a set of columns and rows. When you view
a blank database for the first time in Datasheet view, you see a column named ID. This column is by
default the primary key field.
A primary key is a field or combination of fields that uniquely identify each record in a table. No two
records in a table should have the same values in every field. For example, the following should not
occur in a table.
Last Name
First Name
City
Smith
John
Jonestown
Smith
John
Jonestown
In the real world, it is possible to have two people from the same city with the same first and last
name. In cases like this, you can use the ID field as the primary key field and use it to make each
record unique. The ID field has a data type of AutoNumber; as a result, Access automatically creates
a unique number for each record in the database. The resulting table will look like the one shown
here.
ID
Last Name
First Name
City
1
Smith
John
Jonestown
2
Smith
John
Jonestown
Access provides several methods for creating a table. One method is to use the Rename option with
the Add New Field column label to give each column the field name you want it to have and then to
type or paste your data into the table. Field names can include letters, numbers, and spaces and can
be up to 64 characters long. When choosing a field name, try to keep it short.
When you save your table for the first time, Access gives you the opportunity to name your table.
Each table name must be unique; hence, two tables in the same database cannot have the same name.
The table name should describe the data in the table; can consist of letters, numbers, and spaces; and
can be up to 64 characters long. When choosing a table name, try to keep it short.
You can save a table by clicking the Save button on the Quick Access toolbar or by right-clicking the
Tables tab and then choosing Save from the menu that appears.

Tip: You can use the Rename option at any time to rename any column. For example, you
can rename the ID column Employee ID.
Understanding Data Types
In Access, you use data types to specify the type of data each field can capture. A field with a data
type of text can store alphabetic characters and numbers. Generally speaking, you cannot perform
mathematical calculations by using a text field. For example, you can use a text field to store a street
address. Unless you do some manipulation, you cannot use the numbers in the street address in
mathematical calculations. You will not be able to sum or average the numbers in an address field,
which is fine, because you probably do not want to. Alternatively, you can assign a Test Score field a
data type of Number. You can enter numbers into the field and then average, sum, or perform other
calculations with the numbers. However, you cannot enter an alphabetic character in a number field.
Data Types

Understanding Design View
Access provides several ways to view the objects in your database. You can use Design view to
create or modify an Access table. You can use the View button on the Home tab or the Table Design
button on the Create tab to change to Design view. Using Design view is the preferred method for
creating a table because it provides you with the most options and enables you to precisely define
your table. In addition to selecting a data type, you can set all of the following options in Design
view.

2. Click the Table Templates button in the Tables group. A menu appears.
3. Click the template you want to use. Access creates a table based on the template.
Create a Lookup Column
If a field can contain a finite list of values, you can create a Lookup Column and users can select the
value they want from a list. For example, if the employees at a school can only work in one of the
following departments: Administration, Computer Science, English, History, or Math. You can
create a table Departments table that lists the departments and then use the list in the Employee table
to assign each employee to a department.
Departments
Department ID
Department
Primary Key

Sort fields
The Lookup Wizard allows you to sort the records in a lookup column. You can display records in
order, either ascending (alphabetical from A to Z, lowest number to highest number, earliest date to
latest date) or descending (alphabetical from Z to A, highest number to lowest number, latest date to
earliest date). You can also sort within a sort. For example, you can sort by state and then within
each state by city, and then within each city by street address. If you are creating a sort within a sort,
create the highest level sort on line one, the next level sort on line two, and so on. In the state, city,
and street address example, you create the state on line one, the city on line two, and the street
address on line three.
1. Click the down-arrow and then select the field you want to sort by.
2. Click to select a sort direction (the button toggles between ascending and descending). You

Adjust column widths
A key column is the column that connects one table or query to another table or query. For example,
you can use the Department ID field in the Employees table and the Department ID field in the
Departments table to connect the two tables. You may, however, want to display the name of the
department when you view the table but not the department ID; if so, leave the Hide Key Column
box checked.
1. Deselect Hide Key Column, if you wish.
2. Adjust the column widths by dragging or double-clicking the right vertical border for the
column.
3. Click Next. The Lookup Wizard moves to the next page.
Specify the Key Field (if you deselected Hide Key Column)
A key field is a field that uniquely identifies a record. If you deselected Hide Key column, you must
tell Access which field is the key field.
1. Click the key field.

Lab 06: Exploring Advance Features of MS Access – Queries and Forms
Objective(s):
To learn the concept of Queries in order to extract information
To learn how to generate Reports
Introduction
The real power of an Access 2007 database lies in the ability to pull
data for quick analysis, which is what happens when you run a
query. Queries allow you to retrieve information from one or more
tables based on a set of search conditions you define. Access 2007
will display your results in their own table that you can analyze and
manipulate further. This lesson will explain how to plan a query
using a three-question planning process. You will learn how to use
the Query Design command to run the query, as well as how to
modify the query to hide fields or other information in your query
results. Finally, it will show you how to save the query for later use.
Using queries
Queries retrieve information from one or more tables based on a set of search conditions you set up
and then combine that information in a way that is easy for you to analyze. If you have used an
Advanced Filter in Access 2007, then you have already run a very basic query on only one table. If
you want to pull data from more than one table, though, you will need to use either the Query
Design command or the Query Wizard.
Before using the Access 2007 query tools, it is important to plan out the query using a logical
process. Otherwise, you may not get the results you expect.
Planning a query
There are three questions you need to answer when you are planning a query:
•
•
•
What do you want the results to look like? Identify every field or bit of information that
you want included in the results.
Where is the information stored in the database? List which tables (and/or queries) hold
the information you want to see.
What conditions do you want the data to meet? This helps determine how to set the
criteria so Access can search the records properly.

Lab 06: Advance Features of MS Access
Planning: Which customers ordered technology books?
Let's think about this process for our bookstore database scenario. We have a new technology series
coming out soon, and we want to send coupons to customers who have ordered technology books
from us in the past. A query can help us answer the question: Which customers have ordered
technology books from us already? Let's use the three-question process to plan this query.
•
What fields do we want to see in the results? We need a list of customer names and
addresses in order to mail the coupons to our customers, so we'll need the results to show:
•
In which tables is the information stored? For this query, we'll need:
o Customers table—to get customers' names and addresses
o Books table—to know which books are technology books
o Orders table—to know which customers ordered those books
What is the condition we want the data to meet? We want Access to look for only the
books where the book's category is technology.
•
Using the Query Design command
Once you have planned out your query, you can build and run it using Access 2007's query tools.
To build a query using the Query Design command

•
Enter the condition in the Criteria row for the condition field. For our query, we typed
Technology in the cell labeled Criteria for the Category field. As seen above, Access 2007
puts quotation marks around the term to show that it is looking for exactly that term within
the designated field.
•
Once the condition is set, click Run! in the Results group on the Ribbon.
•
Finally, view your results to determine if they match your desired results.

Hiding fields or other information in the results
Sometimes the results of a query will include information that is seemingly unnecessary to you.
Access 2007 allows you to easily hide these fields.
To hide part of the query result
To hide a field in your query results:
•
In the query design window, deselect the Show option by clicking on it.
•
When you run your results, that field will be hidden, as seen below.

Saving the query
Sometimes you will not need to save your results or your query design. Other times, you may want to
keep it to run again later or to modify it slightly. Saving a query is easy to do.
To save a query
To save the query for later use:
•
•
Right-click on the query tab.
When the Save As dialog box opens, give your query a meaningful name.
•
•
Click OK.
The query will now be listed in the object list on the left side of the Access window.
Using totals in a query
Sometimes you may want to see your query results grouped or counted in some way. Access 2007
offers several options to make these functions possible. Perhaps the easiest of these is the Totals
command, whose optional functions are similar to the functions used in Microsoft Excel. These
functions include:
•
•
•
•
•
Sum, which is used to add a column of numbers
Average, which is used to find the average of a column of numbers
Maximum, which returns the highest value in a field
Minimum, which returns the lowest value in a field
Count, which is used to count the number of same values in a query
Department of Computer Sciences
190/239
CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology
Semester SPRING 2018
Lab 06: Advance Features of MS Access
One of the most useful Totals functions to use in queries is the Count function.
Using Count and Group By in a query
When you use the Totals command in a query, Access will automatically group every field by the
values in each field. This means that it will look for repeating values and group the like values
together so they appear as one record rather than as many records. This is called the Group By
function.
Take our bookstore database for example. If we run a query to see the information for every book
that has been ordered, we'd get a list that looks like this:
Notice that we get a record back for every order of each book that has been ordered.
In our bookstore example query, we want to see these titles grouped together so we see each ordered
title only one time. To do this, we use the Count and Group By options.
To use the Count and Group By options in a query
To include the Group By and the Count functions in a query:
•
Click on Totals in the Show/Hide group on the Ribbon.
Department of Computer Sciences
191/239

•
•
•
Click in the Totals row for the field you wish to count. We want to count the number of times
the same Book ID appears in the Orders table.
From the list of optional Totals functions, select Count.
Click Run! to see your results. Notice that each title, author, price, and category is now listed
only one time for each book, with an extra column that indicates the number of times the
Book ID appeared in the Orders table.

Sorting and filtering query results
Once you have the results looking how you want them, you can sort and filter them to narrow your
results down even further. This can be done using the methods of sorting and filtering covered in
Lesson 10 and Lesson 11, or by applying the sort and filter in the query design itself.
To sort via the query design
To add a Sort to any field in the query design:
•
Click on the Sort row for the field you wish to sort. A drop-down list will appear:
•
Choose one of the options:
o Ascending will show the results sorted with the lowest numerical value or the text
value closest to A first.
o Descending will show the results with the highest numerical value or the text value
furthest from A first.
o (not sorted) will keep your records grouped but will not sort them.
Click Run! to see the results.
•
To filter via the query design
To add a filter to your query design:
•
•
Click the Criteria row in the query design.
Add your filter criteria by typing the value in the cell, as we did in the following example:

Using Reports to make Data meaningful
Now that you know how to use queries to analyze the data in a
database, it's time to find out how to create a report that will make
the data meaningful to someone else. This lesson will show you
how to create a report using the Report command. It will also show
you how to use grouping options and query limits to make the
report easier to read, as well as how to identify several report
formatting and layout options that can be set in Layout View.
Finally, you will see how to use Print Preview and how to save the
report.
As you know, queries make the data in a database meaningful to you. Sometimes, though, you need
to share that data with someone else. A report is an effective way to present your data using an
attractive layout. The text can be formatted in an Access report like it can be done in Word
documents.
Access 2007 offers tools that allow you to create and format a report. The Report Wizard walks you
through the steps of creating a report. The Report command, however, is much easier to use, and all
of the formatting options are still available to you in Layout View once the report is created. With
these tools, you can create a report based on a table or query.
Creating a report based on a table
One of the easiest ways to create a report is using a table as the source of the report. For example, in
our bookstore scenario we have a table that lists all of the books in our inventory. We want to create
a Book Price List report that lists all of the details for each book in our store's inventory. The Report
command makes this incredibly easy because it automatically includes every field in the source table
in the report.
To create a report based on a table using the Report command
To create a report based on a table using the Report command:
•
Choose the table you wish to use as the source of your report. To do that, you can either open
the table or highlight the table name in the Navigation Pane. In our example, we used the
open Books table to create the report.
Department of Computer Sciences
194/239
CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology
Semester SPRING 2018
Lab 06: Advance Features of MS Access
•
•
Select the Report command on the Create tab on the Ribbon, as seen above.
The report is automatically generated and includes every field in the table in order of their
appearance in the table. This can be seen in the example below, which was created from the
table above.
The layout and formatting of the report can be manipulated in Layout View.
Creating a report based on a query
Access 2007 can also create a report using a query as the source. The process for creating a report
based on a query is identical to the process for creating a report based on a table, which was outlined
on the previous page. And just like when making a report from a table, every field and record that
appears in the query results will appear on the report.
To limit the number of records in a report
It is possible to limit the number of records in a report, but only if the report was based on a query.
The limit is set in the query itself, using the query design screen.
To limit the records returned in a query:
•
Open the query in Design View.
Department of Computer Sciences
195/239
CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology
Semester SPRING 2018
Lab 06: Advance Features of MS Access
•
Use the Return option in the Query Setup command group to set the number of records you
want to see in the query results and the final report.
•
•
•
Click Run! to make sure the query results look like you want the report to look.
Create the report using the Report command on the Create tab.
Format the report as desired.
Grouping items on a report
Grouping items on a report can make it much more readable. Access 2007 offers a quick and easy
way to add grouping to a report.
To add grouping to a report
To add a level of grouping to a report:
•
With the report open, select the Group & Sort command from the Grouping & Totals
command group on the Format tab on the Ribbon.
•
This opens a Group, Sort, and Total dialog box in the lower portion of the window.

Introduction
You can create a completely functional database using only Microsoft Access. In some
cases, to get a more complex database, you have to write code. To support this, Microsoft
Access ships with, and installs, a programming environment named Microsoft Visual
Basic. This is a (smaller) variant of the popular Microsoft Visual Basic language and
environment but has everything necessary to create and manage a complex database.
Opening Microsoft Visual Basic
In order to access Microsoft Visual Basic, you must first create or open a database in
Microsoft Access. Then, you can open Microsoft Visual Basic from Microsot Access.
You have various options. To launch Microsoft Visual Basic:
•
On the Ribbon:
o Click the Create tab. In the Macro & Code section, click the Visual Basic
button. In some cases, in the same Macro & Code section, you can also
click either the Module or the Class Module button
o Click the Database Tools tab. In the Macro section, click the Visual
Basic button
•
Display the form in the Design View. Depending on what you are trying to do,
right-click either the form itself or the control on it and click Build Event... In the
Choose Builder dialog box, either double-click Code Builder or click Code Builder
and click OK
Any of these actions would open Microsoft Visual Basic:

2. Click the Visual Basic button
Primary Accessories for Programming and Code Writing
When using a database, you are in fact using two applications to create a final product.
Microsoft Access is used to design the necessary objects for your product. This means
that Microsoft Access is used for its visual display of objects. On the other hand,
Microsoft Visual Basic is used to handle code that enhances the functionality of your
application.
The Compiler
The code you will write is made of small instructions written in plain English, in a version
referred to as the Visual Basic language. The instructions you write must be translated in
a language the computer can understand. This is done by a program called a compiler.
Department of Computer Sciences
207/239
Semester SPRING 2018
CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology Lab 07: MS Access – Macros and Visual Basic
That program works behind the scenes so you will almost never be concerned with it (but
you should know that it exists.
Comments
A comment is a piece of text in a code section that the database engine would not
consider when reading your code. As such, a comment can be written any way you want.
In Visual Basic, the line that contains a comment can start with a single quote. Here is an
example:
Private Sub Form_Load()
' This line will not be considered as part of the code
End Sub
Alternatively, you can start a comment with the Rem keyword. Anything on the right
side of rem, Rem, orREM would not be read. Here is an example:
Private Sub Form_Load()
' This line will not be considered as part of the code
Rem I can write anything I want on this line
End Sub
Comments are very useful and it is strongly suggested that you use them regularly. They
can never hurt your code and they don't increase the size of your database. Comments can
help you and other people who read your code to figure out what a particular section of
code is used for, which can be helpful when you re-visit your code after months or years
of not seeing it.
The Code Editor
The Code Editor is the area where you will write code. It is the largest section of the
Microsoft Visual Basic programming environment. It is mainly made of three sections:
On top, there are two combo boxes. To know the name of a combo box, you can position
the mouse on it and a tool tip would come up:
Department of Computer Sciences
208/239
Semester SPRING 2018
CSL-110: Introduction to Information and Communication Technology Lab 07: MS Access – Macros and Visual Basic
The Object combo box allows you to select a particular object and access its actions. The
Procedure combo box allows you to select an action, related to the object in the Object
combo box.
The Code Editor is equipped with a vertical and a horizontal scroll bars.
There are two small buttons on the left side of the horizontal scroll bar. The Full Module
View button is used to display the code with an object. The Procedure View button will
display the procedures associated with the database.

Closing Microsoft Access and Visual Basic
The version of Microsoft Visual Basic used in Microsoft Access is "For Applications". It
is related to Microsoft Access. When you are in the Code Editor of Microsoft Visual
Basic, you can get back to Microsoft Access either from the View Microsoft Access
button on the Standard toolbar or by clicking the Microsoft Access button on the Taskbar.
The shortcut to get back to Microsoft Access is Alt + F11.
You can close Microsoft Visual Basic any time and keep Microsoft Access running. To
do this, on the Standard toolbar of Microsoft Visual Basic, click the View Microsoft
Access button to get back to the database. On the other hand, if you close Microsoft
Access, Microsoft Visual Basic will be closed also.
Since Microsoft Access shares the same functionality you are probably familiar with
from using other applications, you can close it easily.
•
To close Microsoft Access, you can click the Office Button and then click Exit
Access
• To close Microsoft Access from its title bar, you can click its Close button

Adobe GoLive
These applications allow you to create and edit simple pages graphically, and they simplify more
complicated tasks (such as creating tables and frames). Unfortunately, they tend to produce poorly
written code, which can yield strange behavior when trying to develop more complex sites. As a result,
learning and coding in raw HTML may be worthwhile. If you prefer to go this route, you may code
your webpage using a simple text editor, such as Notepad; otherwise, you are welcome to use
Microsoft Publisher, which is provided by the lab.
Create a personal Web Page containing at least the following elements and save it as index.html.
1. Horizontal line(s)
2. Text Link(s)
3. Image(s)
4. Image Link(s)
5. Your email address
Turn-in format:
You must have it published on some website in order to earn points for this quiz. Please check your
webpage and make sure there are no errors while running. Print your webpage directly from its
published website (NOT the editor) and make sure your website address shows up at the bottom of
the printout.

Lab 10: Designing LAN Networks
Objective(s):
* Develop an understanding of the basic functions of Packet Tracer.
* Create/model a simple Ethernet network using two hosts and a hub.
* Observe traffic behavior on the network. * Observe data flow of ARP broadcasts.
Step 1: Create a logical network diagram with two PCs and a hub
The bottom left-hand corner of the Packet Tracer screen displays eight icons that represent
device categories or groups, such as Routers, Switches, or End Devices.
Moving the cursor over the device categories will show the name of the category in the box. To
select a device, first select the device category. Once the device category is selected, the options
within that category appear in the box next to the category listings. Select the device option that
is required.
a) Select End Devices from the options in the bottom left-hand corner. Drag and drop
two generic PCs onto your design area.
b) Select Hubs from the options in the bottom left-hand corner. Add a hub to the
prototype network by dragging and dropping a generic hub onto the design area.
c) Select Connections from the bottom left-hand corner. Choose a Copper Straightthrough cable type. Click the first host, PC0, and assign the cable to the
FastEthernet connector. Click the hub, Hub0, and select a connection port, Port 0,
to connect to PC0.
d) Repeat Step c for the second PC, PC1, to connect the PC to Port 1 on the hub.
*There should be green dots at both ends of each cable connection. If not, check
the cable type selected.
Step 2: Configure host names and IP addresses on the PCs:
a. Click PC0. A PC0 window will appear.
b. From the PC0 window, select the Config tab. Change the PC Display Name to PC-A.
(An error message window will appear warning that changing the device name may

c. Select the FastEthernet tab on the left and add the IP address of 192.168.1.1 and
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Close the PC-A configuration window by selecting
the x in the upper righthand corner.
d. Click PC1.
e. Select the Config tab. Change the PC Display Name to PC-B. Select the FastEthernet
tab on the left and add the IP address of 192.168.1.2 and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. Close the PC-B configuration window.
Step 3: Observe the flow of data from PC-A to PC-B by creating network traffic
a) Switch to Simulation mode by selecting the tab that is partially hidden behind the
Realtime tab in the bottom right-hand corner. The tab has the icon of a stopwatch
on it.
b) Click the Edit Filters button in the Edit List Filters area. Clicking the Edit Filters
button will create a pop-up window. In the pop-up window, click the Show
All/None box to deselect every filter. Select just the ARP and ICMP filters.
c) Select a Simple PDU by clicking the closed envelope on the right vertical toolbar.
Move your cursor to the display area of your screen. Click PC-A to establish the
source. Move your cursor to PC-B and click to establish the destination.
**Notice that two envelopes are now positioned beside PC-A. One envelope is ICMP, while the
other is ARP. The Event List in the Simulation Panel will identify exactly which envelope
represents ICMP and which represents ARP.
d) Select Auto Capture / Play from the Play Controls area of the Simulation Panel.
Below the Auto Capture / Play button is a horizontal bar, with a vertical button
that controls the speed of the simulation. Dragging the button to the right will
speed up the simulation, while dragging is to the left will slow down the
simulation.
e) The animation will run until the message window No More Events appears. All
requested events have been completed. Select OK to close the message box.
f) Choose the Reset Simulation button in the Simulation Panel. Notice that the ARP
envelope is no longer present. This has reset the simulation but has not cleared
any configuration changes or dynamic table entries, such as ARP table entries.
The ARP request is not necessary to complete the ping command because PC-A
already has the MAC address in the ARP table.
g) Choose the Capture / Forward button. The ICMP envelope will move from the
source to the hub and stop. The Capture / Forward button allows you to run the

simulation one step at a time. Continue selecting the Capture / Forward button
until you complete the event.
h) Choose the Power Cycle Devices button on the bottom left, above the device
icons.
i) An error message will appear asking you to confirm reset. Choose Yes.
Now both the ICMP and ARP envelops are present again. The Reset Network
button will clear any configuration changes not saved and will clear all dynamic
table entries, such as the ARP and MAC table entries.
Step 4: View ARP Tables on each PC
a) Choose the Auto Capture / Play button to repopulate the ARP table on the PCs.
Click OK when the No More Events message appears.
b) Select the magnifying glass on the right vertical tool bar.
c) Click PC-A. The ARP table for PC-A will appear. Notice that PC-A does have an
ARP entry for PC-C. View the ARP tables for PC-B and PC-C as well. Close all
ARP table windows.
d) Click the Select Tool on the right vertical tool bar. (This is the first icon present
in the toolbar.)
e) Click PC-A and select the Desktop tab.
f) Select the Command Prompt and type the command arp -a and press enter to
view the ARP table from the desktop view. Close the PC-A configuration
window.
g) Examine the ARP table for PC-B.
h) Close the PC-B configuration window.
i) Click the Check Results button at the bottom of the instruction window to verify
that the topology is correct.
