<div class="intro">[[File:Excel_logo.jpg‎ |left|75px]]Excel templates provide a pre-made framework for specific spreadsheet applications, like budgets, receipts, calendars, schedules, etc. This is useful if you know what you want your spreadsheet to do, but are not sure, or do not have the time to set it up.</div>
====Finding a Template====
Excel has a large number of built-in templates. You are given an option to use a template when you create a new spreadsheet. In addition, Microsoft keeps a sorted and searchable database online with thousands of templates.

====Applying a Template====
Once you select a template that is built into Excel, it will automatically apply that template to your new spreadsheet. If you choose to download a template from Microsoft's database, you can opt to use it in the New Spreadsheet dialog.

Working between Keynote and Powerpoint

Wilpau12:

<div class="intro">[[File:Ppicon.gif‎ |left|75px]]Powerpoint is installed on all of the Windows and Macintosh machines in the computer center. Another presentation software, Keynote, is installed on all of the Macintosh machines in the center. Both of these programs are easy to use and make excellent slideshows.

It can be useful to transition between these two programs.</div>

====Powerpoint to Keynote====
If you have a Powerpoint presentation that you would like to modify in Keynote, most .ppt files can be opened directly with Keynote, automatically converting them in the process. You can do this on a Macintosh computer by choosing Keynote from the "Open With..." menu on a Powerpoint file, or by selecting a Powerpoint file from the File > Open... dialog.

====Keynote to Powerpoint====
If you have a Keynote presentation that you need to run on a Windows computer, this can also be easily done. You can simply export the file as a .ppt (Powerpoint Presentation) from the File menu and choosing the Export button.

Working With SmartArt

2011-10-19T19:54:33Z

Wilpau12:

<div class="intro">[[File:Ppicon.gif‎ |left|75px]]SmartArt is a series of visual effects used to modify text. SmartArt templates allow you to modify bulleted points and create flow charts and workflow diagrams, cycle diagrams, pie charts, hierarchy charts, Venn diagrams, information matrices, and more.</div>

When To Use This:

* When you want to add effects to bullet points

* When your ideas are better expressed visually

* When you want to create crowd-pleasing diagrams

You can access the SmartArt menu by selecting "Insert" followed by "SmartArt Graphic." This will reveal the SmartArt Gallery, which contains all of the available templates. They are organized by category.

Once you have selected a style, you can modify the visual effects (Transparent, 3-D, etcetera) and the color schemes using the ''SmartArt'' Tools tab at the top of the screen on Windows. On Macintosh, the ''SmartArt Graphic Styles'' options can be found in the Formatting Palette.

SmartArt is available throughout the Microsoft Office suite.
