Using microsoft Excel

Today we had to take a look at Microsoft Excel. I found it rather easy in the beginning, however when it came to the point where we had to use the 'macro' tool, it was very frustrating.

Following exactly as the instructions said to, we couldn't find the 'hide' button, which was supposedly on the menu when you right-clicked your mouse.
I eventually located it on teh numbered box. Moving on from this, the only other dilemma I had was trying to change the titles of the Custom Menu Items. This is confusing because there are three separate outcomes that I needed to be able to distinguish between, without having to interpret the actual content of the graph. I didn't end up finding it, even though I tired every button possible, twice! So i resulted in using the help button...and i found it!
It wasn't that difficult to do...I just had to locate it first, and one I did that it was easy each time.

The only other problem I had was with my graph. It just didn't want to create a bar graph even though that is what I had selected each time I tried to create a graph. However after multiple tries, and for no appararent reason it seemed to work and everything was fine.
I find Excel a great program to use, especially if I was a business student. But I am not; I am an Arts student so I don't know just yet what I would be using Excel for exactly.
