October 23rd: Photoshop and making a command button for your web page. Note: There will be some differences for the newest version of PhotoShop. Hands-on class on Friday, October 25th in Wright 112 lab.
Metals worksheet: Renaming the Sheet1 worksheet to Metals is VIP. How to do it. Why the error message says "subscript out of range" is explained too.
Gold, Silver, Diamonds, Tin, Bronze and Copper bargains: Precious Metals, which is the Lesson 10 Used Automobiles based assignment will be due on a diskette, along with your Customized Toolbars workbook on Wednesday, October 9th.

I will hand out envelopes during class on Monday, October 7th, so you can put the diskette and printouts into the manilla envelope.

Be sure that your Toolbars all have named that include your 3 initials, and that they are attached to the to the Toolbars.xls workbook (or whatever you call that workbook).

   For example, my Show/Hide Options toolbar would be called

      Show/Hide Options MFJ

   My  Move Objects  toolbar would be --->  Move Objects MFJ
  and  Align Objects would be named   --->  Align Objects MFJ

    The initials should make your toolbar name unique and make it
    possible for me to grade and check all 28 toolbars from one
    computer.                          ---------------

    If two students have the same three initials, I will gladly deal
    with that, but its not very likely to happen.

  2. The syllabus will be handed out on the first day of class. Use this to verify the course covers alot more than spreadsheets and macros.

It covers HTML and gives further web page experience, databases, and some authoring software. Also covers PowerPoint basics and beyond.
