sub strand name - p.20: the page is headed 'SUB-STRAND 2 : INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONIC SPREADSHEET(TABS AND RIBBONS MANIPULATION)' but every code on it reads sub-strand 1 (B5.5.1.2, B5.5.1.2.1-.3), the same sub-strand as p.19's 'SUB-STRAND 1: INTRODUCTION TO DATABASES, ALGORITHM AND PROGRAMMING.'. sub_strand_code follows the codes; this name is the page's own heading
