A History Into Microsoft Products

Microsoft Windows is the name of several families of software operating systems by Microsoft. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in Graphical User Interfaces (GUI). The most recent client version of Windows is Windows Vista. The current server version of Windows is Windows Server 2008.

Windows 1.0 (1985)

The first version of Windows provided a new software environment for developing and running applications that use bitmap displays and mouse pointing devices. Before Windows, PC users relied on the MS-DOS® method of typing commands at the C prompt (C:\). With Windows, users moved a mouse to point and click their way through tasks, such as starting applications.

In addition, Windows users could switch among several concurrently running applications. The product included a set of desktop applications, including the MS-DOS file management program, a calendar, card file, notepad, calculator, clock, and telecommunications programs, which helped users, manage day-to-day activities.

Windows 2.0 (1987)

Windows 2.0 took advantage of the improved processing speed of the Intel 286 processor, expanded memory, and inter-application communication capabilities made possible through Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE). With improved graphics support, users could now overlap windows, control screen layout, and use keyboard combinations to move rapidly through Windows operations. Many developers wrote their first Windows–based applications for this release.

Windows 3.0 (1990)

The third major release of the Windows platform from Microsoft offered improved performance, advanced graphics with 16 colors, and full support of the more powerful Intel 386 processor. A new wave of 386 PCs helped drive the popularity of Windows 3.0, which offered a wide range of useful features and capabilities, including:

Program Manager, File Manager, and Print Manager.

A completely rewritten application development environment.

An improved set of Windows icons.

Windows NT 3.1 (1993)

When Microsoft Windows NT® was released to manufacturing on July 27, 1993, Microsoft met an important milestone: the completion of a project begun in the late 1980s to build an advanced new operating system from scratch.

Windows NT was the first Windows operating system to combine support for high-end, client/server business applications with the industry's leading personal productivity applications.

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (1993)

A superset of Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 added peer-to-peer workgroup and domain networking support. For the first time, Windows–based PCs were network-aware and became an integral part of the emerging client/server computing evolution.

Windows for Workgroups was used in local area networks (LANs) and on standalone PCs and laptop computers. It added features of special interest to corporate users, such as centralized configuration and security, significantly improved support for Novell NetWare networks, and remote access service (RAS)

Windows NT Workstation 3.5 (1994)

The Windows NT Workstation 3.5 release provided the highest degree of protection yet for critical business applications and data. With support for the OpenGL graphics standard, this operating system helped power high-end applications for software development, engineering, financial analysis, scientific, and business-critical tasks.

Windows 95 (1995)

Windows 95 was the successor to the three existing general-purpose desktop operating systems from Microsoft—Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups, and MS-DOS. Windows 95 integrated a 32-bit TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) stack for built-in Internet support, dial-up networking, and new Plug and Play capabilities that made it easy for users to install hardware and software.

The 32-bit operating system also offered enhanced multimedia capabilities, more powerful features for mobile computing, and integrated networking.

Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (1996)

This upgrade to the Microsoft business desktop operating system brought increased ease of use and simplified management, higher network throughput, and tools for developing and managing intranets. Windows NT Workstation 4.0 included the popular Windows 95 user interface yet provided improved networking support for easier and more secure access to the Internet and corporate intranets.

Windows 98 (1998)

Windows 98 was the upgrade from Windows 95. Described as an operating system that "Works Better, Plays Better," Windows 98 was the first version of Windows designed specifically for consumers.

With Windows 98, users could find information more easily on their PCs as well as the Internet. Other ease-of-use improvements included the ability to open and close applications more quickly, support for reading DVD discs, and support for universal serial bus (USB) devices

Windows 98 Second Edition (1999)

Windows 98 SE, as it was often abbreviated, was an incremental update to Windows 98. It offered consumers a variety of new and enhanced hardware compatibility and Internet-related features.

Windows 98 SE helped improve users' online experience with the Internet Explorer 5.0 browser technology and Microsoft Windows NetMeeting® 3.0 conferencing software. It also included Microsoft DirectX® API 6.1, which provided improved support for Windows multimedia, and offered home networking capabilities through Internet connection sharing (ICS)

Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) (2000)

Designed for home computer users, Windows Me offered consumers numerous music, video, and home networking enhancements and reliability improvements.

Windows Me was the last Microsoft operating system to be based on the Windows 95 code base. Microsoft announced that all future operating system products would be based on the Windows NT and Windows 2000 kernel.

Windows 2000 Professional (2000)

Windows 2000 added major improvements in reliability, ease of use, Internet compatibility, and support for mobile computing.

Among other improvements, Windows 2000 Professional simplified hardware installation by adding support for a wide variety of new Plug and Play hardware, including advanced networking and wireless products, USB devices, IEEE 1394 devices, and infrared devices.

Windows XP (2001)

With the release of Windows XP in October 2001, Microsoft merged its two Windows operating system lines for consumers and businesses, uniting them around the Windows 2000 code base.

With Windows XP, home users can work with and enjoy music, movies, messaging, and photos with their computer, while business users can work smarter and faster, thanks to new technical-support technology, a fresh user interface, and many other improvements that make it easier to use for a wide range of tasks

Windows VISTA

Windows Vista is a line of operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs, and media centers.

Windows Vista contains many changes and new features, including an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-system.

Using Microsoft Word For Booklet Printing

Some people do not know it, but you can actually set your Microsoft Word document for use in booklet printing. This should really help you when you print booklets since you do not need extra training for more advanced publishing software. You can set your page margins or borders in Microsoft Word already and you simply hand the document over to the publisher for booklet printing. It is that simple. Here are the steps that you should follow.

1. First, fire up your Microsoft Word application. If you already have a document which you typed in your booklet content, simple click on “file” and then click on “open...”

2. A dialog window should come up. Just look for the document you need and double click on it to open that document. (of course if you do not have your booklet content yet, a new document should do, and you can skip this step)

3. Now, once you have the document you want to work with open. Click on the "File" option again and click then click on "Page Setup."

4. Look for the tab markers above and click on the "Margins" tab. This should let you see all the options you need in setting the different margin sides of the Microsoft Word document.

5. Now, look for the the "Pages" section. Sections should be clearly marked by lines and a label indication. You should spot the "Multiple Pages" drop-down options list. Click on the “down arrow” and look for the "Book fold" option in the list that comes down.

6. Then, select the “book fold” option by clicking on it once.

7. Next, type in the the amount of space you want for the inner and outer margins. This is indicated in the "Inside" and "Outside" fields if you wish to make adjustments to it.

8. Also, you have to place a space that is reserved for the binding area or spine of the booklet. Do this by simply typing in the amount of space you need for the spine or binding of your booklet in the "Gutter" field on the same section.

9. Afterwards, look for "Sheets per booklet" option. It should have a drop-down list under "Pages" section of the margins tab. Just choose the number of pages that you want to have in your booklet so that the booklet setup is complete.

10. Once you are finished simply click "OK" to close the "Page Setup" dialog window.

11. Great! You are done! The document is now setup to print as a booklet. You should notice that each page now has a different margin setup according to its position as a “left” page or a “right” page. This should be very useful as you send your document up for booklet printing.

12. Now, all that is left to do is to adjust your content (if you edited an existing document) or to type in your content (if this is a new document).

Great! Hopefully this little technique will save you hours of training and printing worries. You do not need to know any new applications, the documents are readily accepted by booklet printing services and all in all it is really easy to set this up. Have a nice time booklet printing.

How Does Microsoft Office 2010 Compare?

The release of the new Microsoft Office suite isn't the most exciting thing in the world, the fact that it is used nearly every day on my work computer doesn't help matters. Nevertheless, I thought it would be good to compare it to the older versions to see how it stands up against them.

With the final release due in a couple of months, Microsoft have provided a beta test version of Office 2010 that's free for members of the public to download. The beta test version will run unhindered until October 2010 at which point users must decide whether they wish to purchase the final release or have it removed from their hard drive.

For the sole reason that it costs money to buy, the majority of users may still be better off with the free OpenOffice Suite (www.openoffice.org) as it still includes all of the features needed but at no cost. This having been said, the Office Suite has remained a popular flagship product over the years due to business users often requiring a specific function or application only present in the Microsoft offering. I, for example, use Outlook on a regular basis and haven't yet found an alternative that suits my needs.

Having not been the biggest fan of Office 2007 (especially the 'ribbon' interface discussed in the past) I wasted no time downloading the 64-bit professional version of the beta to put it through its paces. I have now been using it for a couple of days it does appear notably faster than Office 2007 and certainty incredibly stable. The speed increase could easily be attributed to the fact that a 64-bit version of the application is now available to run on modern 64-bit computers.

Office Professional 2010 includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, InfoPath, OneNote, Outlook, Access and Publisher. The home edition (also currently available in beta) includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. After the official release, computer manufacturers may choose to bundle new machines with a starter edition of Office which includes just Excel and Word; this version of Office will replace the aging Microsoft Works Suite.

Although the ribbon interface remains, it is certainly a lot clearer than that provided with Office 2007; it is a far more simple application to navigate, the familiar file menu is back, there are fewer fancy borders and colours and it is also customisable to the users individual tastes. The applications look and behave like a 'family' now and have become more intuitive to use as a result of the more refined user interface.

An important new feature due for release in the final version but missing from the beta is the 'Web Apps' which will extend the Office functionality to a compatible web browser. Very similar in form to Google Docs, Office Web Apps allows users to collaborate, edit and share Office documents online. This is an incredibly important new feature that has no doubt come about due to the success of Google Docs and one that I would like to field test when complete.

This article isn't long enough to go in to details about minor new features so I will summarise by observing that the changes made from Office 2007 to Office 2010 are evolutionary rather than revolutionary; just as Windows 7 was an evolutionary change compared with Windows Vista. Excluding the Web Apps there is nothing substantially new however the minor improvements are certainly welcome as is the chance to road test a new piece of software completely free of charge for a year.

Photoshop Tricks You Should Not Overdo in Brochure Printing

One thing that I see when amateurs do their color brochure printing is that they overdo some of the special effects that Adobe Photoshop or other software applications offer. I know it is great to try out these new desktop publishing applications.

However, sometimes it does go a little overboard that it makes the color brochures look a bit cheesy or amateurish. Therefore, as a warning for would be designers, I have here five Photoshop or application tricks that you should not overdo. Keep this in mind, and you will have better outputs in the future.

1. Shadows – The use of shadows is really a good move in most cases. Shadows lift up certain text and images to make them pop-out more. However, the problem with some people is that they use shadows too much. They put shadows on all titles, headings, subheadings and even the body text. When this happens, the whole color brochure becomes littered with “floating” text and design elements, which will look bad and amateurish.

It is best to use shadow effects only for a few elements in a design. The title and some images are where most of your shadow effects should be. Do not overdo it by using it on almost everything you see.

2. Color strokes – When using color strokes, you should also be careful on where and how you use it. Color strokes are great for text and shapely images since they provide a kind of border or background to these design elements. In the proper places, color strokes can be effective. Especially for logo designs and special images for emphasis, color strokes add that well-rounded element that ties a design element together.

The problem with other people using this feature though, is that it gets used around in some areas too much. Using this feature on all images and titles makes for a messy layout. You are putting in splotches of color strokes everywhere if you overdo this. That is why it is best to reign in this effect in and only use it in one design element per panel.

3. Glow effects – Many people also like the use of glow effects. These are specialized color strokes that make design elements look like they have a bright glow around their edges. Now, while using glow effects can be great for many design elements in brochures such as titles and images, many amateurs typically overuse this effect to the detriment of the color brochure design. They use it on titles, headings, text boxes, images and sometimes even on dividers. Having too much glow effects in one brochure printing can lead to a very bright and messy layout. So make sure you only use this effect in only one element.

4. Image cleaning – Another overdone Photoshop trick is the cleaning up of images. While it is good to retouch and enhance the look of your images, too much cleaning up may actually hamper the look of the image, making to look constructed and cartoony. This is especially true if you try to clean up people faces too much. That is why you should be subtle and refrain from cleaning up your images too much.

5. Texture filters and effects – Finally, texture filters and other filter effects should be used in a careful way when it comes to formatting. Filters are great to use in one design element, but using them too much in images, at the background and even in text makes for a messy design. It is only appropriate to use these filters sparingly and only when you need to add some detail to a simple design. It must not be the main aspect of design since this will only make the layout messy.

So be careful of your decisions in adding special effects for your brochure printing. Reign in some of that creativity and be subtle with your additional designs. You do not have to go all out with the effects.

Well, I have some cool ideas to excel your MS excel performance. Here are my MS Excel hacks to improve you MS Excel experience.

1. How to Merge Cells Easily

If you are a Excel working you know how often do you need to merge cells. As I've known there are no shortcut keys for the task. Well, you can create your own shortcut using a macro. Here's the macro that you can use to merge your selected cells

Sub MergeCells1()
Selection.Merge
End Sub

Assign the created macro to a keyboard shortcut and get set to go. Alternately, you can create a macro to work as a shortcut for Merge and Center tool. Here's the macro

Sub MergeCells2()
With Selection

• HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
• Merge
  

End With
End Sub

2. How to Count Items using a PivotTable in Exel 2007

The PivotTable can be used to generate counts of the items in a data table. Let's say you have a data table in Excel containing the club members. Suppose, the first column has the numbers and the second column contains all the cities in which the members live. Now, if you are to find how many people live in each city, the easiest way is to create a PivotTable. Let's do with the steps for the hack

• Select a cell from the data table
• Ensure that the Insert tab of the Ribbon is displayed
• Go to the Tables group, click the PivotTable tool. Excel displays the Create PivotTable dialog box
• Make sure that the entire data is selected. In the range box click OK. An empty PivotTable worksheet is created
• Drag the City field to the Row Labels area
• Drag the Name field from the field list to the Values area.
  

Your PivotTable will be created.

3. How to Delete the X Row in the Work sheet

By filtering the data you can use just a portion of the information you need. Sometimes you need to retrieve data from another user or external program this may require to delete certain rows, say you need to remove every third row or every fifth row in theworksheet. Generally you would use a macro but there's a simpler hack. Let's see the steps

• Insert two columns (A and B) on the far left side of the worksheet
• In the new column A, use AutoFill to sequentially number the rows from 1 to the end
• In cell B1 (assuming you have no header row), enter the formula =MOD(A1,4). (I assume you want to delete every 4th row. For other multiple of rows, substitute that number in place of the 3 in the formula.)
• Copy the same formula downward to all the other cells in the B column
• Now Display the datatab of the Ribbon. In the Sort & Filter group, click the Filter tool. You will see small drop-down arrows at the top of each column in theworksheet.
• Select 0 in the dropdown list in column B.
• Choose all the displayed rows and delete them
• Turn off AutoFilter ( look for the step 5)
• Delete columns A and B
  

4. How to Hide Duplicate Records

A common mistake by most of the excel users is including duplicate entries while preparing reports or sorting data. This can b avoided with a simple hack. Let's see the steps

• Go to the Data menu, and then to the point to Filter and click Advanced Filter
• Drag across the worksheet to select/highlight the lists containing duplicate entries
• Check Unique records only option
• Click OK
  

This will hide any duplicate records in the selected range

5. How to Delete undesired Web Stuff

Often you copy information from the Web and Paste it in your worksheet. The worst part of it is that you are stuffed with all sorts of other items, such as checkboxes, pictures, logos, and such other undesired stuffs. So how do you get rid of them, let's see the hack

• First press the F5. Excel will displays the Go To dialog box
• Hit the Special button. Excel will display the Go To Special dialog box
• Select the Objects option
• Click OK.
  

This will select a number of the objects in the worksheet. Press the Delete key to get rid of them. For a more viable solution use the macro provided below

Sub DeleteAllShapes()
Dim shp As Shape
For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
shp.Delete
Next
End Sub

MICROSOFT OFFICE ACCESS

Microsoft Access (or Microsoft Office Access) is a computer program relational database application that is intended for home and small-medium companies. This application is a member of several Microsoft Office applications, in addition to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. This application uses the Microsoft Jet Database Engine database engine, and also uses an intuitive graphical interface making it easier for the user. The latest version is Microsoft Office Access 2007 is included in Microsoft Office System 2007.

Microsoft Access dapat menggunakan data yang disimpan di dalam format Microsoft Access, Microsoft Jet Database Engine, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, atau semua kontainer basis data yang mendukung standar ODBC. Para pengguna/programmer yang mahir dapat menggunakannya untuk mengembangkan perangkat lunak aplikasi yang kompleks, sementara para programmer yang kurang mahir dapat menggunakannya untuk mengembangkan perangkat lunak aplikasi yang sederhana. Access juga mendukung teknik-teknik pemrograman berorientasi objek, tetapi tidak dapat digolongkan ke dalam perangkat bantu pemrograman berorientasi objek.

History
Microsoft released Microsoft Access 1.0 in November 1992 and continued with the release of version 2.0 in 1993. Microsoft specified the minimum to run Microsoft Access 2.0 is a computer with Microsoft Windows 3.0 operating system, with a capacity of 4 megabytes of RAM (6 MB recommended) and hard disk space required 8 megabytes (14 MB recommended). Version 2.0 of Microsoft Access comes with seven 3 ½-inch floppy diskette 01:44 megabyte size.

The software works very well on a data base with many notes, but there are some cases where data was damaged. For example, the database size exceeds 700 megabytes often have problems like this (at that time, the hard disk is still below 700 megabytes). Started manual warns that some cases due to the obsolete device drivers or incorrect configurations.

Code name (codename), which was first used by Access is a Cirrus that was developed before Microsoft developed Microsoft Visual Basic, the forms engine that uses an interface called Ruby. Bill Gates saw the prototypes (prototype) and decided that the BASIC programming language component should be developed together as a separate application but can be expanded. This project is called Thunder. Both projects were developed separately, and the forms engine that is used by both are not compatible with each other. This ended when Microsoft released Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

Employing
Microsoft Access is used mostly by small and medium-sized businesses, in a smaller organization may also be used by large companies, and also a programmer to make a homemade system for dealing with the manufacture and manipulation of data. Access can also be used as a database for basic Web applications that are stored on the server that is running Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and using Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP). However, the use of Access is less advisable, given the existing Microsoft SQL Server that has a higher ability.

Some professional application developers use Microsoft Access to develop applications quickly (used as Rapid Application Development / RAD tool), especially for the manufacture of prototypes to a bigger program and a stand-alone applications for the seller.

Microsoft Access is not so good if accessed through a network so that the applications used by many users tend to use the solution database management system client / server. However, the display face of Access (forms, reports, queries, and Visual Basic code) that can be used to handle the actual database being processed by other data base management systems, such as Microsoft Jet Database Engine (which by default used by Microsoft Access), Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and several other products that support ODBC.

MICROSOFT OFFICE POWER POINT

Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Office PowerPoint is a computer program for the presentation that was developed by Microsoft at their office in the application package, Microsoft Office, other than Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and several other programs. PowerPoint running on a PC-based computer operating system Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating system Apple Mac OS, although at first these applications running on Xenix operating system. PowerPoint is widely used, mainly by offices and business people, educators, students, and trainers. Starting with the Microsoft Office System 2003, Microsoft changed the name from the previous program into Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft Office PowerPoint. The latest version of PowerPoint is version 12 (Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007), incorporated into the Microsoft Office System 2007 package.

History

Microsoft PowerPoint application was first developed by Bob and Dennis Austin Titans as a presenter for a company called Forethought, Inc., which later was renamed PowerPoint.

In 1987, PowerPoint version 1.0 was released, and supports the Apple Macintosh computer. PowerPoint and then still use the black / white which can make text and graphics pages for overhead transparency projector (OHP). A year later, a new version of PowerPoint comes with color support, after the color Macintosh came to market.

Microsoft acquired previously thought, Inc and of course PowerPoint software at a price of about 14 million dollars July 31, 1987. In 1990, Microsoft Windows version of PowerPoint (version 2.0) come into the market, Microsoft Windows 3.0 trace. Since 1990, PowerPoint had become an integral part of the standard office package Microsoft Office System applications (except Basic Edition).

The latest version is Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 (PowerPoint 12), which was released in November 2006, a jump that far enough in terms of user interface and improved graphics capabilities. In addition, compared with the previous data format is binary data with the extension *. ppt, this version offers an XML data format with the extension *. pptx.

Operation

In PowerPoint, just like any other presentation software processing, text objects, graphics, video, sound, and other objects are positioned in several individual pages called "slide". PowerPoint slideshow in this term has the same analogy with a slide projector usual, which has been outdated, because the emergence of computer software that can process the kind of PowerPoint and Impress presentations. Each slide can be printed or displayed on screen and can navigate through the order of the presenters. Slides can also form the basis of the webcast (a broadcast on the World Wide Web).

PowerPoint offers two types of movement properties, namely the Custom Animations and Slide Transitions. Property Movement Entrance, Emphasis and Exit objects in the slide can be set by the Custom Animation, while Transition regulate the movement from one slide to another. Everything can be dianimaskan in many ways. Overall design of a presentation can be arranged with menggunakaan Master Slide, and the overall structure of prsentasi may be edited using Primitive outline (Outline).

PowerPoint can save presentations in several formats ie following:

• *.PPT (PowerPoint Presentation), which is the binary data and is available in all versions of PowerPoint (including PowerPoint 12).
• *.PPS (PowerPoint Show), yang merupakan data biner dan tersedia dalam semua versi PowerPoint (termasuk PowerPoint 12).
• *.POT (PowerPoint Template), yang merupakan data biner dan tersedia dalam semua versi PowerPoint (termasuk PowerPoint 12).
• *.PPTX (PowerPoint Presentation), yang yang merupakan data dalam bentuk XML dan hanya tersedia dalam PowerPoint 12.

MICROSOFT OFFICE EXCEL

Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Office Excel is a spreadsheet application program written and distributed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows operating system and Mac OS. This application features calculation and graphics devices, using Microsoft's aggressive marketing strategy, make Microsoft Excel as one of the most popular computer programs used on microcomputers, which until now. Even today this program is the spreadsheet program most commonly used by many parties, both on the PC platform based on Windows or Mac OS-based Macintosh platform, since version 5.0 was published in 1993. This application is part of the Microsoft Office System, and the final version is a version of Microsoft Office Excel 2007 that is integrated in Microsoft Office System 2007 package.

History

In 1982, Microsoft made a spreadsheet program called Multiplan, which is very popular in the system CP / M, but not in MS-DOS systems because it was already standing rival, Lotus 1-2-3. This makes Microsoft began developing a new spreadsheet program called Excel, with purpose, as we are told by Doug Klunder, "1-2-3 does not do everything and do it better / do what was done by the 1-2-3 and more good again. "

The first version of Excel was released for the Macintosh in 1985 and follows its Windows version (version number 2.0) in November 1987. Lotus to market too late for a spreadsheet program for Windows, and in the year, Lotus 1-2-3 is still based on MS-DOS. In 1988, Excel began to shift in market share and the 1-2-3 spreadsheet program to make Microsoft as one of the largest developers of software applications for personal computers that can be relied upon. Microsoft has confirmed that this achievement as a very strong competitor for the 1-2-3 and they develop it better. Microsoft, using its superiority, the average release a new version of Excel once every two years, and the latest version of Excel for Windows is Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (Excel 12), while for the Macintosh (Mac OS X), is the latest version of Microsoft Excel 2004 .

At the initial launch, Excel became the target demands by another company in the financial sector has been selling a software package named "Excel. Finally, Microsoft will end with the defeat of the demands and Microsoft Excel have to change the name as" Microsoft Excel "in all Microsoft and press releases documents. However, in practice, this is ignored and even Microsoft Excel buy from companies that previously required them, so the use of Excel name alone will not bring any more trouble. Microsoft also often use the letters XL as shorthand for the program, which, although not common anymore, icons used by the program still consists of two letters (although given some of the style of writing). In addition, the default extension of spreadsheets created by Microsoft Excel is *. xls.

Excel interface offers many advantages when compared with a spreadsheet program that preceded it, but the essence remains the same as VisiCalc (spreadsheet software was first known): Tue arranged in rows and columns, and contain contain data or formulas with relative or absolute references to other cells.

Excel is the first spreadsheet program that allows users to determine how they view the spreadsheet edit: fonts, character attributes, and appearance of each cell. Excel also offers a recount of bright cells, where only cells associated with cells that will be updated nilanya (where other spreadsheet programs will recalculate the entire data or waiting for special instructions from the user). In addition, Excel also offers graphics processing features are very good.

When first bundled into Microsoft Office 1993, Microsoft redesigned the user interface used by Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint to match the look of Microsoft Excel, which at that time became the most popular spreadsheet application.

Since 1993, Excel has a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which can add the ability to automate Excel in Excel and also add a function that can be defined by the user (user-defined function / UDF) for use in the worksheet. In the next version, even Microsoft adds an integrated development environment (IDE) for language VBA for Excel, which allows the programmer to do making a homemade program. In addition, Excel can also record everything done by the user to be a macro, so it can do some automation tasks. VBA also allows to create forms and controls contained in the worksheet to be able to communicate with the user. VBA language also supports the use of ActiveX DLL / COM, but can not.The next version adds support for VBA class module that allows the use of object-oriented programming techniques in VBA.

Automation functions provided by VBA to make Excel macro viruses as a target. This is a serious problem in the corporate world until antivirus makers began to add support to detect and clean macro viruses from an Excel file. Finally, belatedly, Microsoft is also integrating the function to prevent abuse of macros to disable the macros as a whole, or menngaktifkan enable macros when the workbook, or trust macros are encrypted using a trusted digital certificates.

MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD

Microsoft Word is a word processor designed by Microsoft. It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. Subsequent versions were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), the Apple Macintosh (1984), the AT&T Unix PC (1985), Atari ST (1986), SCO UNIX, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows (1989). It is a component of the Microsoft Office system; however, it is also sold as a standalone product and included in Microsoft Works Suite. Beginning with the 2003 version, the branding was revised to emphasize Word's identity as a component within the Office suite on PC versions; Microsoft began calling it Microsoft Office Word instead of merely Microsoft Word. The 2010 version appears to be branded as Microsoft Word, once again. The current versions are Microsoft Word 2010 for Windows and 2008 for Mac.

Word 1981 to 1989

Concepts and ideas of Word were brought from Bravo, the original GUI writing word processor developed at Xerox PARC. on February 1, 1983. With this, development on what was originally named Multi-Tool Word began.

Richard Brodie renamed it Microsoft Word, and Microsoft released the program on October 25, 1983, for the IBM PC. Free demonstration copies of the application were bundled with the November 1983 issue of PC World, making it the first program to be distributed on-disk with a magazine. However, it was not well received, and sales lagged behind those of rival products such as WordPerfect. Although MS-DOS was a character-based system, Microsoft Word was the word processor for the IBM PC that showed actual line breaks and typeface markups such as bold and italics directly on the screen while editing, although this was not a true WYSIWYG system because available displays did not have the resolution to show actual typefaces. Other DOS word processors, such as WordStar and WordPerfect, used simple text only display with markup codes on the screen or sometimes, at the most, alternative colors.

As with most DOS software, each program had its own, often complicated set of commands and nomenclature for performing functions that had to be learned. For example, in Word for MS-DOS, a file would be saved with the sequence Escape-T-S: pressing Escape called up the menu box, T accessed the set of options for Transfer and S was for Save (the only similar interface belonged to Microsoft's own Multiplan spreadsheet). As most secretaries had learned how to use WordPerfect, companies were reluctant to switch to a rival product that offered few advantages. Desired features in Word such as indentation before typing (emulating the F4 feature in WordPerfect), the ability to block text to copy it before typing, instead of picking up mouse or blocking after typing and a reliable way to have macros and other functions that always replicate the same function time after time, were just some of Word's problems for production typing.

Word for Macintosh, despite the major differences in look and feel from the DOS version, was ported by Ken Shapiro with only minor changes from the DOS source code, which had been written with high-resolution displays and laser printers in mind although none were yet available to the general public. Following the precedents of LisaWrite and MacWrite, Word for Macintosh attempted to add closer WYSIWYG features into its package. After Word for Mac was released in 1985, it gained wide acceptance.

There was no Word 2.0 for Macintosh. Instead, the second release of Word for Macintosh, shipped in 1987, was named Word 3.0; this was Microsoft's first attempt to synchronize version numbers across platforms. Word 3.0 included numerous internal enhancements and new features including the first implementation of the Rich Text Format (RTF) specification, but was plagued with bugs. Within a few months Word 3.0 was superseded by Word 3.01, which was much more stable. All registered users of 3.0 were mailed free copies of 3.01, making this one of Microsoft's most expensive mistakes up to that time.

In 1986, an agreement between Atari and Microsoft brought Word to the Atari ST. The Atari ST version was a translation of Word 1.05 for the Apple Macintosh, however it was released under the name Microsoft Write (the name of the word processor included with Windows during the 80s and early 90s). Unlike other versions of Word, the Atari version was a one time release with no future updates or revisions. The release of Microsoft Write was one of two major PC applications that were released for the Atari ST (the other application being WordPerfect). Microsoft Write was released for the Atari ST in 1988.

Word 1990 to 1995

The first version of Word for Windows was released in 1989 at a price of 500 US dollars. With the release of Windows 3.0 the following year, sales began to pick up (Word for Windows 1.0 was designed for use with Windows 3.0, and its performance was poorer with the versions of Windows available when it was first released). The failure of WordPerfect to produce a Windows version proved a fatal mistake. It was version 2.0 of Word, however, that firmly established Microsoft Word as the market leader

After MacWrite, Word for Macintosh never had any serious rivals, although programs such as Nisus Writer provided features such as non-contiguous selection which were not added until Word 2002 in Office XP. In addition, many users complained that major updates reliably came more than two years apart, too long for most business users at that time.

Word 5.1 for the Macintosh, released in 1992, was a very popular word processor owing to its elegance, relative ease of use and feature set. However, version 6.0 for the Macintosh, released in 1994, was widely derided, unlike the Windows version. It was the first version of Word based on a common codebase between the Windows and Mac versions; many accused it of being slow, clumsy and memory intensive. In response to user requests, Microsoft offered a free "downgrade" to Word 5.1 for dissatisfied Word 6.0 purchasers.

With the release of Word 6.0 in 1993 Microsoft again attempted to synchronize the version numbers and coordinate product naming across platforms; this time across the three versions for DOS, Macintosh, and Windows (where the previous version was Word for Windows 2.0). There may have also been thought given to matching the current version 6.0 of WordPerfect for DOS and Windows, Word's major competitor. However, this wound up being the last version of Word for DOS. In addition, subsequent versions of Word were no longer referred to by version number, and were instead named after the year of their release (e.g. Word 95 for Windows, synchronizing its name with Windows 95, and Word 98 for Macintosh), once again breaking the synchronization.

When Microsoft became aware of the Year 2000 problem, it released the entire DOS port of Microsoft Word 5.5 instead of getting people to pay for the update. As of March 2010, it is still available for download from Microsoft's web site.

Word 6.0 was the second attempt to develop a common codebase version of Word. The first, code-named Pyramid, had been an attempt to completely rewrite the existing product. It was abandoned when it was determined that it would take the development team too long to rewrite and then catch up with all the new capabilities that could have been added in the same time without a rewrite. Supporters of Pyramid claimed that it would have been faster, smaller, and more stable than the product that was eventually released for Macintosh, and which was compiled using a beta version of Visual C++ 2.0 that targets the Macintosh, so many optimizations have to be turned off (the version 4.2.1 of Office is compiled using the final version), and sometimes use the Windows API simulation library included. Pyramid would have been truly cross-platform, with machine-independent application code and a small mediation layer between the application and the operating system.

More recent versions of Word for Macintosh are no longer ported versions of Word for Windows, although some code is often appropriated from the Windows version for the Macintosh version.

Later versions of Word have more capabilities than merely word processing. The drawing tool allows simple desktop publishing operations such as adding graphics to documents. Collaboration, document comparison, multilingual support, translation and many other capabilities have been added over the years.

Word 97

Word 97 had the same general operating performance as later versions such as Word 2000. This was the first copy of Word featuring the Office Assistant, "Clippit", which was an animated helper used in all Office programs. This was a take over from the earlier launched concept in Microsoft Bob.

Word 98

Word 98 for the Macintosh gained many features of Word 97, and was bundled with the Macintosh Office 98 package. Document compatibility reached parity with Office 97 and Word on the Mac became a viable business alternative to its Windows counterpart. Unfortunately, Word on the Mac in this and later releases also became vulnerable to future macro viruses that could compromise Word (and Excel) documents, leading to the only situation where viruses could be cross-platform. A Windows version of this was only bundled with the Japanese/Korean Microsoft Office 97 Powered By Word 98 and could not be purchased separately.

Word 2000

Word 2001/Word X

Word 2001 was bundled with the Macintosh Office for that platform, acquiring most, if not all, of the feature set of Word 2000. Released in October 2000, Word 2001 was also sold as an individual product. The Macintosh version, Word X, released in 2001, was the first version to run natively on (and required) Mac OS X.

Word 2002/XP

Word 2002 was bundled with Office XP and was released in 2001. It had many of the same features as Word 2000, but had a major new feature called the 'Task Panes', which gave quicker information and control to a lot of features that were before only available in modal dialog boxes. One of the key advertising strategies for the software was the removal of the Office Assistant in favor of a new help system, although it was simply disabled by default.

Word 2003

For the 2003 version, the Office programs, including Word, were rebranded to emphasize the unity of the Office suite, so that Microsoft Word officially became Microsoft Office Word. Microsoft Word 2003 also has a page limit of 32,767 pages.

Word 2004

A new Macintosh version of Office was released in May 2004. Substantial cleanup of the various applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and feature parity with Office 2003 (for Microsoft Windows) created a very usable release. Microsoft released patches through the years to eliminate most known macro vulnerabilities from this version. While Apple released Pages and the open source community created NeoOffice, Word remains the most widely used word processor on the Macintosh.

Word 2007

The release includes numerous changes, including a new XML-based file format, a redesigned interface, an integrated equation editor and bibliographic management. Additionally, an XML data bag was introduced, accessible via the object model and file format, called Custom XML – this can be used in conjunction with a new feature called Content Controls to implement structured documents. It also has contextual tabs, which are functionality specific only to the object with focus, and many other features like Live Preview (which enables you to view the document without making any permanent changes), Mini Toolbar, Super-tooltips, Quick Access toolbar, SmartArt, etc.

Word 2007 uses a new file format called docx. Word 2000–2003 users on Windows systems can install a free add-on called the "Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack" to be able to open, edit, and save the new Word 2007 files. Alternatively, Word 2007 can save to the old doc format of Word 97-2003.

It is also possible to run Word 2007 on Linux using Wine.

Word 2008

Word 2008 is the most recent version of Microsoft Word for the Mac, released on January 15, 2008. It includes some new features from Word 2007, such as a ribbon-like feature that can be used to select page layouts and insert custom diagrams and images. Word 2008 also features native support for the new Office Open XML format, although the old doc format can be set as a default.

Word 2010

WordArt has been a traditional feature to Word, for some time. With WordArt in Word 2010, users can apply formatting effects such as shadow, bevel, glow, gradient glow, and reflection to their document text. Another feature that has been introduced in Microsoft Word 2010 is background image removal. This is a feature which eliminates the need of using photo editing software for the same purpose of removing background images. Artistic Effects is another image based feature which was exclusive to Photoshop and has now been included within Word application. Users can now add artistic effects such as Pencil effect, Cartoon effect, blur effect, Black & White effect among many other effects to the image inserted in Word document. Screen Capturing is also a new feature to Word where users can easily take screen shots and embed them directly in the document.
