What is Word and its various features?
Up until a couple years ago, I was a fan of OpenOffice, the open-source office suite, and in particular
Writer and Calc, the word processor and spreadsheet applications. I found they had all the same features
as Microsoft Word and Excel, and the price ($0) was great. Sure, the interface was a bit dated and you
had to hunt through endless menus to find features, but that had been my experience with all the versions
of MS Office up to that point.
Then two events conspired to change my view: Microsoft released Office 2007, with a greatly revised
user interface, and I took a job teaching other people how to use it! It's a bit of a challenge to teach
something you don't use, so I dived in to Office 2007, and in particular Word, poking into all the nooks and
crannies to master every last feature... or at least to keep one step ahead of my students. It was painful at
first, abandoning the familiar menus for the new Ribbon Bar, but I must say, within a couple of months I
was a convert. I truly enjoy using Office 2007 every day now. And to celebrate that, I put together a top
ten list of my favourite Word 2007 features. Many have been around for a while, but are even more
usable in this version, while others are new.
Push PinsAs you work on documents, they appear in the Recent Documents list under the Office button
in the top left corner. A single click on one re-opens it for editing, until it's pushed off the bottom of the list
by new arrivals. Clicking the push pin sticks the document to the list for as long as you need to work on it.
Table StylesTables are a great way to present information, and now, it's easy to make them pretty with
the built-in table styles.
Smart ArtAttractive, easy to use, pre-created charts and diagrams come in handy and save time when I
want to add some visual interest to a document, as an alternative to a table.
Cropping ImagesI am often pasting screenshots of websites into documents, and I think they are tidier
without the browser window around them. I want the viewer to focus just on the web page content. The
image cropping tool is invaluable for quickly trimming an image down, without need for external image
software.
Visual PreviewsI love seeing changes happen as I make them, such as when resizing an image or
previewing different styles. Such a change from the earliest versions of Word, where you waited many
minutes for a page to re-render after adding an image!
Track ChangesWhen collaborating on a document, it's critical to see the changes others make. Enabling
this feature makes that such a breeze.
Compare DocumentsHowever, if your collaborators forget to track their changes, this feature will find
them, by comparing two different versions of the same document. You can easily accept, reject and
merge changes into a final version.
Inspect DocumentAfter a series of revisions, changes tracked and accepted or rejected, and comments
added and removed, running the Document Inspector is wise. It will let you know about any last stray
changes and comments, so that the version you release is truly the final one.

Save as PDFNot everyone has Office 2007, but most people have or can install Adobe Reader or one of
several other PDF readers. You can save your document as a PDF directly from Word with no additional
software required.
The Ribbon BarLast but not least, I've found that the grouping of features on the Ribbon Bar really does
make sense. A skeptic at heart, I've come to enjoy using this interface over the options buried many
levels deep in menus.

What is Powerpoint and its various features?
1. Slide - Slide Show
Each page of a PowerPoint presentation is called a slide. The default orientation of the slide is in
landscape layout, which means that the slide is 11" wide by 8 1/2" tall. Text, graphics and/or pictures are
added to the slide to enhance its appeal.
Think back to the days of the old fashioned slide show, using a slide projector. PowerPoint is an updated
version of that kind of slide show. Slide shows can be comprised of text and graphic objects or be
completely covered by a single picture, as in a photo album.
2. Ribbon
The ribbon is the strip of buttons across the top of the main window, and it replaces the toolbar in earlier
versions of PowerPoint. Here on the ribbon you will find access to anything the program has to offer. You
no longer have to hunt endlessly through many menus and sub menus to find the command you want.
Commands are located in logical places now, unlike in earlier versions of all things Microsoft.
3. Contextual Menus and Tabs
Contextual menus and tabs appear when an object is selected. These contextual menus / tabs contain
information or options pertinent to that object only. For example; if you are working with photos, the
contextual menus show all the options available just for working with photos.
In PowerPoint 2007, these contextual tabs are very much in view, unlike earlier versions, where these
commands could be difficult to locate. This feature is an updated version of the "shortcut menus" used in
earlier versions.
These contextual tabs do not appear unless they are relevant to the selected object.
4. Slide Layouts - Slide Types
The terms slide type or slide layout can be used interchangeably. There are several different types of
slides / slide layouts in PowerPoint. Depending on the type of presentation you are creating, you may use
several different slide layouts or just keep repeating the same few.
Slide types or layouts include -
title slides
title and content slides
comparison slides
picture with caption slides
and more

5. Slide Views
Normal View - is also commonly known as Slide View. It is the main working window in the
presentation. The slide is shown full size on the screen.
Outline View - shows all the text of all slides, in a list on the left of the PowerPoint screen. No
graphics are shown in this view. Outline View is useful for editing purposes and can be exported
out as a Word document to use as a summary handout.
Slide Sorter View - is a window in PowerPoint that displays thumbnail versions of all your slides,
arranged in horizontal rows. This view is useful to make global changes to several slides at one
time. Rearranging or deleting slides is easy to do in Slide Sorter view.
Notes Pages - shows a smaller version of a slide with an area below for notes. Each slide is
created on its own notes page. The speaker can print these pages out to use as a reference while
making his presentation. The notes do not show on the screen during the presentation.

6. Design Themes
Think of a design themes as a coordinated packaged deal. When you decorate a room, you use colors
and patterns that all work together. A design theme acts in much the same way. It is created so that even
though different slide types can have different layouts and graphics, the whole presentation goes together
as an attractive package. The background color/images and fonts are all coordinated to achieve a
cohesive look.

7. Slide Transition
Slide transitions are the visual movements as one slide changes to another.

8. Animations
In Microsoft PowerPoint, animations are visual effects applied to individual items on the slide such as
graphics, titles or bullet points, rather than to the slide itself.
Preset visual effects can be applied to paragraphs, bulleted items and titles from a variety of animation
groupings, namely Subtle, Moderate and Exciting.

9. PowerPoint Viewer
The PowerPoint Viewer is a small add-in program from Microsoft. It allows for a PowerPoint presentation
to be played on any computer, even those that do not have PowerPoint installed. It can run as a separate
program on your computer and can be added to the list of files when you choose to package your
presentation to a CD.
10. Slide Master
The default design template when starting a PowerPoint presentation, is a plain, white slide. This plain,
white slide is the Slide Master. All slides in a presentation are created using the fonts, colors and graphics
in the Slide Master. Each new slide that you create takes on these aspects.
Each design theme has a number of different slide masters, unlike earlier versions, which contained only
an additional Title Master. Another nice feature of slide masters in PowerPoint 2007 is that you can create
your own text placeholders. This was not possible in earlier versions.
