Using the spreadsheet templates in the webtext to complete your assignments

Some of our webtexts contain spreadsheet templates. These are designed to guide you through the process of completing your assignments in the webtext.

Add content to the cells

Spreadsheet templates work just like Microsoft Excel. Each spreadsheet template will prompt you to fill out a series of cells. Within the template, only the shaded cells are editable. To enter content into a cell, simply click on the cell and start typing.

Cells are the individual boxes in the spreadsheet. They are arranged in rows (horizontal bars) and columns (vertical bars).

Each cell has a unique name, or cell address, that corresponds to a column letter and a row number. For example, B14 is the address of the cell in column B and row 14.

This screenshot shows a spreadsheet template containing two columns, labeled A and B, and six rows, labeled with the numbers 13 through 18. Text superimposed on the screenshot shows that the cell in column B and row 14 is cell B14.

Complete the templates

When you’re done filling out each template, click Save Progress and then click the Add button. This will allow you to access the next template.

You must complete the templates in order. If you try to access a template before completing the templates before it, you will see a message sending you back to the template you skipped. This could mean that you’ve filled out the template but you still need to click the Add button.

This screenshot shows a spreadsheet template with a message reading “You’ve skipped a step!” along with the page numbers and names of two other templates. The first template in the list is hyperlinked.

Find the templates

At the bottom of the Table of Contents menu, you’ll find the Index of Spreadsheet Templates. This page contains links to every spreadsheet template in the webtext.
