primedocs Add-In - Excel

If you read through the descriptions of the Add-Ins for Word and PowerPoint before getting to this page, you will probably be thinking: "Well, this looks familiar!" And that is, of course, by design.

The ribbons of the Add-Ins for Microsoft Office are deliberately kept similar to make them as easy to use as possible. They differ where each application has its specific particularities.

And so it is here too: Excel retains the first buttons.

Apply theme​

The first new button we encounter is located directly below the language selection button and is labelled "Apply theme". This applies a specific design (colours, fonts) to the workbook. In the screenshot above, the button is greyed out because the workbook already has the desired theme.

Data​

Sheet​

"Sheet" adds a new worksheet to the workbook each time you click on it. It also ensures that the new worksheet has the correct colour and font theme right from the start.

Format​

Colour selection​

Then there is the colour selection for fill, line and text colours, as in Word and PowerPoint.

General text formatting​

This is followed by the text formatting tools, which in turn correspond to the text formatting in Excel and help you work from this ribbon without having to switch ribbons constantly.

Charts​

The chart tools largely correspond to those in PowerPoint.

Insert chart​

With "Insert chart" you can select a chart type to insert.

Change type​

With "Change type" you can switch the selected chart to a different chart type.

Colour sequence​

With "Colour sequence" you can change the colour order - provided your CI allows different colour orders.

Reset​

With "Reset" you can reset the design of the selected chart to the default colours, fonts and other design settings.
