Microsoft Excel 5.0 for Windows

This lab module offers brief, "hands-on" introductory coverage of the Microsoft Excel 5.0 for Windows spreadsheet software. The objectives listed at the beginning of each lab module explain the concepts, commands and competencies to be gained in each software application programme. The Sports Club case study, used throughout all of the lab modules in the Microcomputing Annual Edition System, places real-world business problems within the context of a health-club business environment. Students can solve business problems by using application software (word processing, spreadsheet and database software). Lab activities consist of detailed, step-by-step instructions and screen displays to aid students in solving the case-study problems. Each lab lesson builds on the previous lesson, while the number of screen displays decrease and the instructions become less specific in order that students think about what they learned, avoid rote learning and become proficient in the concepts and commands presented.
