Activity 4-1

  1. Your supervisor wants you to insert a chart into the presentation you are editing for him. You decide to use a Google Spreadsheet chart that you will create on your own. Your data needs to include information about three vacation destinations of interest to you.  The data you should include are as follows:
    • miles to destination
    • cost to get to destination
    • cost of lodging/hotel
    • cost of an area tourist attraction

    Use the internet to help you find your data for this chart.  Use the Spreadsheet Help system to find out how to enter data in a worksheet, and then create a chart using Spreadsheet. Use the features on the Chart Layout dialogue box to add titles, gridlines, and data labels. Embed the chart in a new presentation titled Activity 4-1 followed by your initials.

Activity 4-2

  1. Create an outline in Document using heading styles. Use at least three Heading 1 styles so your presentation has at least three slides. Import the text into Presentation to create a new presentation titled Activity 4-2 followed by your initials. Convert the presentation into a Web page and view it with your browser.
