20. with Microsoft Office 2007 Introductory© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall20 Chart Data Each cell is a data point. –Each data point is shown in the chart by a data marker: A data marker can be a column, bar, area, dot, pie slice, or other symbol. –Related data points form a data series. For example, a data series for January, February, and March.

23. with Microsoft Office 2007 Introductory© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall23 Use Page Layout View, Prepare a Worksheet for Printing, and Close Excel Page Layout View prepares your data for printing. –Rulers measure data, set margins, hide or display row and column headings, and change the page orientation. –Headers or footers print at the top (header) or bottom (footer) of every page of a worksheet. Page Layout View shows you how the data and/or chart will appear when printed.

27. with Microsoft Office 2007 Introductory© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall27 Design a Worksheet Good design techniques can be instrumental in making your worksheet useful. To be most effective: –Use rows rather than columns for the most abundant data. –Consider how it will appear on flat paper. –Arrange the data so that it is easily charted.
