Office -
Getting Started
Microsoft
Office
is a suite of complementary software
applications.
Office is available in several different
editions, comprising different ranges of products. The "core"
applications are
:
Several applications are also available as
stand-alone products, but one of Office's strengths is the degree to which the
individual applications share a consistent design and layout. Another strength
of Office is the ease with which data can be shared or transferred between
different files. Office products also provide powerful workgroup features,
which enable several people to create, modify, and review documents, files, and
other data as part
of a team
:Start an Office Application
Once Office has been installed on
your computer, you can start an application by opening any file or shortcut
with an Office icon To start an Office application from the Start menu
On the
Taskbar, click the Start button then select Programs then click the Microsoft
Application program item.
The Office
Application Window
The application window shows the
contents of the file you are editing and displays a set of tools that you use
to operate the program. All Office applications have a similar window layout.
You will quickly learn to recognise common features, such as the title bar,
menu bar, toolbars, task pane, and status bar. The screenshot below shows the
common elements of an Office window (the example application is Word):
The Title Bar
The Title bar identifies the
application you are running (Microsoft Word in the example below) and the name
of the file you have open (Document 1). On the left-hand side of the Title bar
is the Program Icon. If you click this, a menu of commands to control the
window is displayed. You can also use the Minimise , Maximise /Restore
, and Close buttons on the right-hand side of the Title bar to control
the window
The Menu Bar Each word on the Menu
bar represents a different menu. Each menu contains the commands you use to
activate features of the application. If a command is also found on a toolbar
(see below) then the icon representing the command is displayed in the menu
too. This makes recognising commands easier.
Toolbars
contain icon button
shortcuts to selecting the command from a menu. Usually, when you start an
Office application, the Standard and Formatting toolbars are displayed. These
toolbars contain the most commonly-used commands. Each application makes a
number of other toolbars available. These are used to complete specific tasks,
such as editing a table, designing a form, reviewing a document, or analysing
data in a spreadsheet.
The Status Bar The Status bar
displays useful information about the file. For example, in Word the Status bar
shows the current and total number of pages, the location of the text cursor,
insert/overtype setting, spelling check, and saving status.
