Microsoft Excel – Tips and Tricks
Excel has more to it that meets the eye. At first glance it looks like a program to make charts, graphs, and other types of charts. One of the best features is its ability to use math formulas. This feature is helpful if you’re making any type of finance spreadsheet. With the right formulas, you can have Excel automatically add, subtract, multiply, divide, find the range, or just the sub total of any data entered in the cell(s). These formulas automatically update, so you can add data to your spreadsheet and know that it’s going to give you the right total(s) without you having to format it every time.

Protecting Yourself from Identity Theft
The fastest growing crime in the United States is identity theft. More than nine million people fall victim each year, with the unauthorized use of an existing credit card accounting for much of the problem. The National Crime Victimization Survey reports that household identity theft losses amount to more than $13 billion each year, and that figure does not account for the aggravation and time required to repair the accounts.
