Change spacing before or after paragraphs

1. Select the paragraphs in which you want to change spacing.

2. On the Format menu, click Paragraph, and then click the Indents and Spacing Tab.
3. Under Spacing, enter the spacing you want in the Before or After Box.

Change paragraph direction

1. Place the insertion point in the paragraph that you want to change, or select several paragraphs.

2. Do one of the following:

o To have text begin from the left, click Left-to-Right on the Formatting toolbar.
o To have text begin from the right, click Right-to-Left on the Formatting toolbar.

When you change the paragraph direction, Microsoft Word leaves justified and centered text as it is. In
the case of left-aligned or right -aligned text, Word flips the alignment to its opposite. For example, if
you have a left-to-right paragraph that is right aligned, such as the date at the top of a letter, clicking
Right-to-Left results in a right-to-left paragraph that is left aligned.

VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP Functions

This document explains the functions of VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP and how to use them in
a spreadsheet. It can be used in all versions of Microsoft Excel.

VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP are functions in Excel that allow you to search a table of data
based on what the user has supplied and give appropriate information from that table.

If you have a table of Student ID numbers, Student Names and Grades, you can set up Excel
so that if a Student ID number is supplied by the user, it will look through the table and output
the student's name and grade.
 A B C
VLOOKUP

Student ID Number 1234 User supplied

Student Name John Smith From table

Semester Grade A/B From table

VLOOKUP allows you to search a table that is set up vertically. That is, all of the data is set
up in columns and each column is responsible for one kind of data. In the Student Record
example, there would be a separate column of data for Student Names, one for Student ID
numbers, etc.

HLOOKUP is the exact same function, but looks up data that has been formatted by

rows instead of columns.

Student ID 12 1689 24 369 9228

Number 34 95 7
Student John Jane Michelle Jack Rod
Name Smith Jones Schreiner Lep Arnes
Semester ak on
Grade A/ B/C B A B
B

The format of the VLOOKUP function is:

VLOOKUP (lookup _value, table _array, col _index _num, range _lookup)

The lookup _value is the user input. This is the value that the function uses to search on.
If you are searching a table by the Student ID number, then the lookup _value is the cell
that contains the inputted Student ID number being looked up.

The table _array is the area of cells in which the table is located. This includes not only the
column being searched on, but the data columns for which you are going to get the values that
you need. Back to the example, the table_array would not only include the Student ID number
column, but the columns for the Student Names and Grades as well.

The col _index _num is the column of data that contains the answer that you want. If your table
is set up as: column 1 - Student ID Number, column 2 - Student Names, column 3 - Grades and
you inputted a Student ID Number and you want to retrieve the grade that was received for that
person, the col _index
_num would be 3. 3 is the column number of the data column for the ANSWER that you are
trying to look up.
Range _lookup is a TRUE or FALSE value. When set to TRUE, the lookup function
gives the closest match to the lookup _value without going over the lookup _value. When
set to FALSE, an exact match must be found to the lookup _value or the function will
return #N/A. Note, this requires that the column containing the lookup
_value be formatted in ascending order
To use the Function Wizard to insert a VLOOKUP function:

1. Select the cell that will contain the answer to the VLOOKUP and select
Insert ->Function...

1. Under the Function Name, select VLOOKUP, and hitO

2. The Function Wizard for VLOOKUP will then display. The 4 values talked about
above (lookup _value, table _array, col _index_num,

required.Ifyouputthecursorintothefirstlineforlookup_value,
down below it explains what the lookup _value is for your reference. Similar
information is displayed when the cursor is in any of the other fields.

3. Enter in the lookup _value either by typing in the number for the cell, or, by selecting the cell on
the worksheet.
4. Enter in the table _array by typing in the numbers for the cells, or, by selecting the
group of cells on the worksheet.
5. Enter in the number for column which contains the data that you wish to obtain in the col
_index _numarea.

6. Enter into the range _lookup field the value TRUE if the function should accept the closest
value to your lookup _value without going over or FALSE if an exact match is required.
7. Hit OK whenready.
