Structure and content
The first part follows nine areas of use: capturing, creating, designing, revising, linking, providing, analysing, accelerating and substantiating. Each chapter connects the task with the relevant fundamentals, steps and tools.
The second part, the “toolbox”, explores keyboard operation, names, formulas, number formats, application functions and controls. Practical examples show how to use these techniques and where their limits lie. Topics include named formulas and the practical use of array constants.
Reference tables covering abbreviations, codes, colours and functions complement the explanations. The guides on this website provide additional help when working at a computer.
