Microsoft Excel
Graphical Enviroment of Microsoft Excel.
Before we see the properties of Microsoft Excel interface, we need to know how to get into Microsoft Excel. From now we are going to refer as Excel to Microsoft Excel.Microsoft office programas have the property that all of them are placed together in a single folder, which we can found in Programs Files folder, called “Microsoft Office”, inside of that foler, we can found a list of others folders, but what we are looking for is the one called “office 12”, and we are talking specifically about office 2007, however older versions are linked to be placed at thesame folders, just you need to search under Microsoft Office folder.
However, this is just the most basic and necesary method to know in order to acces to Microsoft Excel.
But also there is another way to do this, and this is kind of easier and faster, but it doesn’t ensure that you are going to find Excel.
You must clic on “Start” button, and then you must select “Programs” and then“Microsoft Office” and you will find “Microsoft Excel 2007”.
Once you are on the main screen, you would see something like this.

Your screen will probably not look exactly like the screen shown. In Excel 2007, how a window displays depends on the size of your window, the size of your monitor, and the resolution to which your monitor is set. 
The Microsoft Office Button

In the upper-left corner ofthe Excel 2007 window, is the Microsoft Office button. When you click the button, a menu appears. You can use the menu to create a new file, open an existing file, save a file, and perform many other tasks.
The Quick Access Toolbar

Next to the Microsoft Office button is the Quick Access toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar gives you with access to commands you frequently use. By default, Save,Undo, and Redo appear on the Quick Access toolbar. You can use Save to save your file, Undo to roll back an action you have taken, and Redo to reapply an action you have rolled back.
The Title Bar

This part show you the name of the current Excel document, follow by the name of the program, which is “Microsoft Excel”
The Ribbon

You use commands to tell Microsoft Excel what you want to do. InMicrosoft Excel 2007, you use the Ribbon to issue commands. The Ribbon is located near the top of the Excel window, below the Quick Access toolbar. At the top of the Ribbon are many tabs; clicking a tab displays many related command groups. Within each group are related command buttons. You click buttons to issue commands or to access menus and dialog boxes. You may also find a dialog box launcherin the bottom-right corner of a group. When you click the dialog box launcher, a dialog box makes additional commands available.
Worksheets

Microsoft Excel consists of worksheets. Each worksheet contains columns and rows. The columns are lettered A to Z and then continuing with AA, AB, AC and so on; the rows are numbered 1 to 1,048,576. The number of columns and rows you can have in aworksheet is limited by your computer memory and your system resources.
