Game Creation in Excel: Step 1 of 6

Part I: Insert a background image

In a tutorial made up of six parts, teachers (or whomever) can follow easy steps to create simple games using Microsoft Excel. The game uses Excel's "conditional formatting" feature, and can be fairly complex if enough time/thought is put into it! I first saw this demonstrated at a VSTE (www.vste.org) conference. I made this tutorial for my students - I hope you find it useful.

These are the 6 steps (after you open Excel, of course):
1. Insert a background image
2. Resizing cells
3. Using a background color
4. Formatting text
5. Using conditional formatting
6. Protecting the worksheet
