To do this assignment, and I am trying so hard here to put lessons OnLine for your, take a piece of paper, hold it landscape, like above, and mark it 4, 1 on the outside, and 2, 3 on the inside. Make sure that when you open it, you see 4, 1 outside, and 2, 3 on the inside. Then understand that this is a table, with almost invisible margins. (Pages 2, 3, are showing, right?). Put text and images (insert Clipart) on these pages. Showing outside pages (4, 1) TAKE A MINUTE AT THIS POINT TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE NUMBER OF EACH PAGE. LET ME ADD SOME "SMACK" HERE -- I AM FINDING OUT THAT HAVING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS, MADE BETTER BY AFFIRMING THEM, MAKES LIFE EASIER, AND INCREASES YOUR SUCCESS. SO MAKE LOTS OF GREETING CARDS. 50 POINTS FOR EACH PAGE. DO IT IN B+W FIRST, THEN EXTRA 100 IN COLOR. PLS EXPLAIN, IN DETAIL, BELOW, EXACTLY, THE STEPS YOU TOOK TO DO THIS PROJECT: Download the card format from the links above. Question: What are the steps to create the Greeting Card? ==============================================Q021: Lakers Statistical ProjectSteps are: (1) get Lakers Stats use Google or other search engine (100 pts). (2) Open Excel. (3) Highlight Stats, (4) Paste them to an Excel Sheet. (5) Sort by FG%. (6) Format sheet like #5 below (100 pts). (7) Using Chart Wizard, make a bar graph. (8) Copy and Paste (C and P) graph to Paint where you make the "Team Average" line using the line tool, and the words "Team Average" using the Text Tool. (9) C and P it to WORD, where you center it, and add text to the bottom, and print it. (200 pts). (400 pts total). Then of course enter it in the ATT/PART form as 400LAKERS. This project will develop some excellent computer skills! JA. This is written as the Playoffs begin in April 2004. The goal here is to develop Desktop Visual Information skills. (1-3) I expect you to be able to find "Stats" on the Official
Lakers Web 4) Paste it to Excel, corner A1.
(5) Check it out! The data is not sorted. What an impending disaster. How could you make a clear graph unless the data is organized? How could you visually represent data clearly unless it first is organized? We have to "SORT" the data. Note that the
(6) Formatting the Sheet. Click the "Select All" cell in the corner. With the "Format" toolbar enabled, ("fill color" with white, then "Format Cells" put cell borders. Then use "Cell Alignment" to align the column headers as shown above (5): (7) Making a Bar Graph: The best method is to click on the
Chart Wizard (CW). But what if your Excel
The trick is to highlight the data columns, by dragging the mouse over each one while holding the "Ctrl" key down, allowing multiple highlighting. Repeat after me ... "Select the Player and his corresponding FG% by dragging carefully down each column while holding the Ctrl Key down!" (This is how to get data in non-adjacent columns into the CW. If you are worrried, that the FG% for Shaq is not highlighted, kudo yourself. It actually is, but does not show it. Also, note col "F", FG%, is sorted in descending order.
(8 - 9). The final product -- on a World Class Presentation Quality Level befitting the Lakers -- has the Chart Area filled with color, the Name Category aligned at 45%, is elongated along the height dimension to make the differences in the FG% more distinct, and using 'Paint' the Team Average Line and Caption are inserted. C and P this image to Paint, where the Team Average (find this number) is drawn by the line tool, and its caption is written using the Text Tool, then save it. Finally, insert this image to WORD where you center it, and add text to the bottom. Print it out. Log 400 points on the A/P form, 400LAKERS. ... Additional notes from Prof. A.: This document vividly communicates! Pictures are worth 1000 words: Enhanced pictures speak thousands of words! This is truly a World-Class assignment, a vital tool to have in your skill set portfolio. Make this happen. Put in your notebook for me to see! JA. Out.
The following explanation was provided by Herln Guerra, Prof. Auciello's T.A. 701
Lakers Project. By
creating this project you will not only have fun working for the Lakers,
also you will learn some of the most common and useful tasks to work with
Microsoft Excel, the Microsoft software that can be used to compute
calculations, accounting and create interactive charts.
The first thing to know when you are working with a computer (today
in 2004) is that you don’t have to worry if you have done something
wrong. The operating systems
that computers use nowadays come with a feature which let users fix any
problems by “restoring the system” to a certain day.
So, for example, you find out that you have done something wrong to
your computer today you can restore it to yesterday functionality and
everything will be OK again. (Note
that your files will not change or be lost, the only thing that is
“restored” are the operating system files).
Similarly, with the Microsoft Suit (Word, Excel, Power Point,
Access and Outlook) there is the function called “Undo” which is
represented by an arrow that indicates “to go back.”
If you do something wrong while working in any of Mr. A’s
project, don’t worry, you just have to click this button and everything
will be back to normal. The
function is found in the “menu bar” in the “Edit” option and its
name is “Undo.” Then,
play around with the programs until you understand the functions.
Back to the Lakers Project!
Basically the project is about copying, modifying and outputting in
form of a chart the data that is found in the following website: http://www.nba.com/lakers/ When in the website,
you will see a left-hand menu in which one of the options is “Stats”
(short for Statistics). This
is the link you want to click to start the project.
Now that you are in the page, we will start the steps of copying/pasting your data:
YOUR DATA SHOULD NOW LOOK,
IF NOT EXACTLY LIKE MR. A’s, ALMOST THE SAME.
You are done with this part. We
need to create the Graph.
That
is all for this project. -- END OF THOROUGH, COMPLETE LESSON BY HERLIN GUERRA. -- Describe the steps necessary in detail to produce the document above.

data is
sorted below. To sort, click "Data", and try to figure it out

intuition. (These programs are engineered to for you to use logic
and intuition. ) If you are stuck, come see me . 
Program does not
have this button or icon showing on the Toolbar? So, now you
have to do some 'discovery' or 'hacking' .... There are toolbars at the
top of the screen. They are accessible through the View Tab on the
File Toolbar, the top toolbar. Go "Hack" at it. Turn
various Toolbars on and off, to help you understand them.
Usually, the Chart Wizard button comes on as part of the Standard
Toolbar. The first time it didn't for me; but by turning it off and
on, it appeared on my Standard Toolbar. CW is a tool on the
Standard Toolbar. Hack away until it appears by enabling / disabling
Toolbars thru the View Tab (right after File, Edit). 
Follow the prompts from the CW until you
have a graph that looks like this. Each graph has its own
"areas" or sub-sections such as: Chart area, category, legend,
title, etc that can be accessed and modified by right-clicking (r-c) on
them. For example to modify the Category Area, r-c on it,
Format Axis, etc to achieve the alignment of the names. Hack it.
