Making Excel
MoreEfficient
If you find yourself spending a major part
of your day working with Excel, you can
make those chores go faster — and so
make your overall work life more
productive — by making Excel as efficient
as possible.
For example, you can launch common
commands more quickly by placing them
on the Quick Access Toolbar, which requires
just a single click to launch a command.
Similarly, you can customize the Ribbon
with your own tabs and groups to reduce
the time it takes to perform certain tasks.
You can also make Excel more efficient
byusing the mouse wheel to zoom,
automatically inserting decimal points,
pinning Excel to the Windows 7 taskbar,
creating binary workbooks, applying
formatting across multiple worksheets,
andusing dialog box controls to input
worksheet data.
In this chapter, you will learn how to
perform these and many other tasks that
boost your Excel efficiency.
