Work Anywhere—and Everywhere

2012-02-16T08:21:00.001-08:00

Laptop, notebook, desktop, kiosk—any place that gives you an on-ramp to the Internet is
a potential workplace in Office 2010. Office 2010 Web Apps let you work with the familiar
Office 2010 interface and work with your Word 2010, Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, and
OneNote 2010 files. You can share files with other users by using Windows Live or SharePoint
Workspace 2010 and then open and work with the files on your PC when you get back to the
office.
If you are a gadget lover, you might already have a smartphone with all the bells and whistles
you can get. Office Mobile 2010 gives you another way to work on the go, using your
Windows Mobile smartphone. You can write up an idea before breakfast, create a new document,
and share it with the team—all before you get into work in the morning. Later, on the
way to meet a vendor, you can add a few more details, insert a picture, and send the file for
review—all from your phone.
Office Mobile works with Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and SharePoint Workspace. The
application windows have been customized to fit the small phone screen and browser so that
you can find what you need easily and enjoy the familiarity of the Office 2010 interface.
This flexibility in Office 2010 gives you the freedom to follow through on your creative ideas
in real time—whenever and wherever they occur.

Collaborate Easily and Naturally

Unless you’ve been living off the grid for the last couple of years, you’ve probably noticed
that the world has gotten substantially smaller, thanks to the continuing expansion of Web
technologies. Blogs, social media, and new online publishing alternatives have steeped most
of us in a culture that is always on, always connected, and always talking.
An increasing number of people are now working in teams, and those teams might be spread
throughout the office or located around the world. A writer in Omaha could be working with
a software developer in India who might have been hired by an administrator in Scotland.
This geographical diversity within a project team is no longer an unusual occurrence—an
increasing number of Office 2010 users need to collaborate with peers and clients all over the
globe.
Office 2010 includes powerful tools to facilitate easy and successful team collaboration
and management. Co-authoring features in Word 2010, Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010,
and OneNote 2010 enable you to work with a variety of teammates on a single project in
real time. And, when you use these features, your changes are automatically tracked and
coordinated.

Changes in Office 2010

2012-02-16T08:19:00.000-08:00

This section presents a look at the key ideas behind the development of the features you will
find in Office 2010. Working independently or in a group, at your PC or on the road, you’ll
find new tools and techniques that help you create great-looking documents, worksheets,
presentations, and more, and enable you to share your work easily with others. Office 2010 shows that powerful programs don’t have to be difficult to use. Program designers
know that users today need a great variety of powerful, flexible tools, and that it’s important
that those tools and features be easy to find and use. For this reason, you’ll find quick
access to style galleries, themes, and more that help you select professional designs, choose
from color schemes that work, and create a professional look whether you’re creating documents,
worksheets, presentations, notebooks, or database tables.
To help you take your ideas to the next level, Office 2010 offers artistic effects and picture
editing, video editing in PowerPoint, new data visualizations (including sparklines and slicers)
in Excel, and the ability to manipulate fonts professionally in Word. And this is just the beginning—
there’s much more, as you’ll see in the chapters in Part II, “Hit the Ground Running.”
And not only will your output be better, but the whole document creation process is easier,
thanks to enhanced search features, simplified navigation, the contextual spell checker,
translation
tools, and more.

Features that Fit Your Work Style of MS office

2012-02-16T08:18:00.002-08:00

For many of us, our long workdays of focusing on single projects have evolved into days with
smaller blocks of time dedicated to one of many things we have going on. We are getting
more done than ever—and Office 2010 can help you better enjoy the process. What’s exciting about Office 2010 is that it’s more than a set of powerful tools that help you
meet and manage the demands of your fast-paced workday. For example, if you do most of
your work at your desk, crunching numbers, answering e-mail, and preparing reports, Office
2010 helps you work faster, manage huge worksheets, design effective documents easily, and
present your work in new, visual, and flexible ways that help your diverse audience understand
your ideas.
If you work primarily in a team, you’ll find that Office 2010 makes collaboration easy with
features that enable you to share files, co-author documents, and even contact teammates in
real time.
If you work predominantly on the road—and frequently need to get updates on projects,
add items to the calendar, or approve new documents and strategies—Office 2010 gives you
the flexibility to use the Office applications you know and love regardless of whether you’re
logging in from your PC, your browser, or your phone.

Welcome to Office 2010

2012-02-16T08:18:00.001-08:00

This is an exciting time to be working with technology. Changes are occurring with what feels
like ever-increasing speed. The world is growing continually smaller, and far-away places are
more and more within our reach. Today our coworkers are almost as likely to be working on
a different continent as they are to be down the hall. Opportunities are possible now that we
couldn’t envision a few years back—more of us are telecommuting, training by webinar, and
planning projects virtually, all of which is accomplished through Web and phone access to
the tools that make it all possible.
Office 2010 was designed with evolving workplace trends in mind. With Office 2010, you
can use familiar, reliable Office applications to work more efficiently, produce better-thanever
results, collaborate in real time with peers in your office or around the world, and continue
your work from any point on the globe with Web or phone access. And even though
these are big changes, they fit easily into what you’re already doing. The tools you need to
implement
these changes in your work efforts don’t have a steep learning curve. By adding
to the functionality of your favorite features (Print, Paste, and Picture Effects, to name a
few examples), Office 2010 helps you get more done with less effort. And the collaboration
and anywhere access features make working with anyone, anytime, a natural and intuitive
process.

What’s in Microsoft Office 2010?

2012-02-16T08:10:00.000-08:00

Similar to earlier releases, Microsoft Office 2010 is available in several versions, each designed
with a specific group of users in mind, and each accessible via PC, browser, or phone. Here’s
what you’ll find in each version of Microsoft Office 2010:

The Third Generation: Integrated Circuit Computers (1965–1980)

2010-06-12T12:35:00.001-07:00

The real explosion in computer use came with the integrated circuit generation.

Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit (IC) or

microchip

, made of germanium.

Six months later, Robert Noyce (who had also been working on integrated circuit

design) created a similar device using silicon instead of germanium. This is the

silicon chip upon which the computer industry was built. Early ICs allowed

IC technology also allowed for the development of more powerful supercomputers.

Seymour Cray took what he had learned while building the CDC 6600 and

started his own company, the Cray Research Corporation. This company produced

a number of supercomputers, starting with the $8.8 million Cray-1, in

1976. The Cray-1, in stark contrast to the CDC 6600, could execute over 160 million

instructions per second and could support 8 megabytes of memory.

dozens of transistors to exist on a single silicon chip that was smaller than a single

“discrete component” transistor. Computers became faster, smaller, and

cheaper, bringing huge gains in processing power. The IBM System/360 family

of computers was among the first commercially available systems to be built

entirely of solid-state components. The 360 product line was also IBM’s first

offering where all of the machines in the family were compatible, meaning they

all used the same assembly language. Users of smaller machines could upgrade to

larger systems without rewriting all of their software. This was a revolutionary

new concept at the time.

The IC generation also saw the introduction of time-sharing and multiprogramming

(the ability for more than one person to use the computer at a time).

Multiprogramming, in turn, necessitated the introduction of new operating systems

for these computers. Time-sharing minicomputers such as DEC’s PDP-8 and

PDP-11 made computing affordable to smaller businesses and more universities.
