Now that you are already familiar with the various looks of microsoft Excel Icon as earlier discussed,
We would need to locate the application on our computer to start working on it.
In other words, to start working on microsoft Excel application,
we need to first open the Ms.Excel application from the computer; simply by locating the excel icon and clicking on it.
There are many ways of opening a new Excel workbook. these include;
- From The Microsoft Office Toolbar
- From A Shortcut Icon On Your Desktop
- From The Start Button Located At The Left Hand Side Of Your Screen
The first two process may not be relevant to you if your computer is on a network,
so if you don’t have these options available to you, use the third option.
Using the third option; locate the start button from the left hand-side of your screen and click on it. Click on Microsoft Office folder among the list of your already loaded applications in programs then select the Ms. Excel Icon as shown in the image.
Once you Start Excel you are by default having a New Blank Workbook. with a default name of Book1.
