Chapters 4 and 5 and Final Week of IS101

I chose skill 4.9.5 (Use Themes, Styles, and Templates). When using Microsoft Word, I've mainly only used it to create essays or research papers in school, which don't require a lot of elaborate styling or fancy templates. In my job, it's the opposite as sometimes I am required to make documents with certain different themes or templates, such as flyers, so I apply this skill a lot in my job.

For Chapter 5, I have chosen skill 5.5.10 (Format a Directory). This skill has definitely helped me a lot as I work with Excel in my job. Specifically, when having our customers' phone numbers on a worksheet, I would manually format it as a phone number, but now I easily format all the phone numbers with two clicks of a button, which has saved me a lot of time.

I have reached the final week of IS101, and I envision myself finishing the class strong. I am slightly behind on discussions due to me enjoying Thanksgiving break a bit to much, and I have some minor touch-ups to do, but it's nothing I can't finish before Saturday. I have learned so much from this class, which I'm very proud of since I applied these skills at my job, and I know I will continue to apply them in the future.

    Hi Kimberly! Before, I also used Microsoft Word when I had to do some essays, drafts, and reviewers. So, I don’t really use special formatting styles and templates. As a business accounting student, the lessons that I learned from this class will really help me with my tasks in the future.

    You could not have said it any better. The experience with word and excel has been awesome and an eye opener.

    Hi Kimberly! Number formatting on excel is probably one of my favorite features. Excel when used correctly, saves so much time and lessens the room for error. Wishing you the best as we close out the semester!

    Hi Kimberly, it sure feels good to almost be done with this, and get to apply what we've learned digitally in our academic success.
