Make a Picture with Excel
Let's create a picture in Excel by following some easy steps:
- Open up a new Microsoft excel document by going to Start > Programs > Microsoft Office > Excel
- Make sure you are on the home tab at the top. Select cells A1 through J11 by clicking and dragging with the mouse.
- Find the format icon on the upper right.
- Set the Row Height to 38 using Format > Row Height
- Set the Column Width to 9 using Format > Column Width
- Click on the little arrow next to the borders icon and select the Thick Box Border option.
- Find the format icon on the upper right.
- Select cells C6 & C7 and click the little arrow next to the borders icon and select the Thick Box Border option. Select cell C6 and then click the little arrow next to the borders icon and select the Bottom Double Border option.
- Repeat Step #3 for cells D6 & D7
- Repeat Step #3 for cells G6 & G7
- Repeat Step #3 for cells H6 & H7
- Now for some coloring using the Fill Color Bucket:
- Color a pale blue: A1, B1, C1, D1, G1, H1, I1, J1, A2, B2, I2, J2, A3, J3, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, J5, J6, J7, J8, J9, J10
- Color a dark red: E1, F1, C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, H2, B3, C3, D3, E3, F3, G3, H3, I3, A4, B4, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, H4, I4, J4, E7, F7, E8, F8, E9, F9, E10, F10
- Color brown: B5, C5, D5, E5, F5, G5, H5, I5, B6, E6, F6, I6, B7, I7, B8, C8, D8, G8, H8, I8, B9, C9, D9, G9, H9, I9, B10, C10, D10, G10, H10, I10
- Color green: A11, B11, C11, D11, E11, F11, G11, H11, I11, J11
- What did you make? Think Christmas or perhaps Hansel & Gretel. Decorate your picture using appropriate clipart and the shape tools to add "icing" or other appropriate shapes. You can add clip art by going to the insert tab and selecting clip art.
- Save this in your H drive as Your Name-CoordinateGraphing.
