We urge avoidance of free email such as Yahoo and Hotmail. Free services limit the amount of disk storage and may prohibit transfer of larger files (i.e., attachments). Check with your ISP for more information. Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.0 (or later) or Netscape Version 5.0 (or later) o If you are using an ISP that has its own browser, such as AOL, Prodigy or CompuServe, you may have some difficulty accessing your online course. To avoid any problems, it is recommended that you use an external browser when you access your online course such as Internet Explorer or Netscape. *Computers, Internet Access, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint are available in most local libraries, Kinko’s, and CSU computer labs/libraries. Please contact the CSUDH Bookstore for special pricing for Microsoft® Office (subject to availability). Computer Competency Recommendations Access course and program material on the Web. Correspond with DON staff, students, and faculty using e-mail and the Web. Prepare, send, and receive assignments using e-mail and attachments/files. Read/print e-mail and attachments/files from staff, students and faculty. Use the CSUDH Electronic Library for research and incorporate the use of the Library in student course assignments. Incorporate Internet research and activities in course assignments. Prepare and use PowerPoint® presentations. Use the appropriate software (e.g. Microsoft® Word, Microsoft® Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint®) for the course. Incorporate the use of CD ROMs when they are required course materials. Use an appropriate anti-virus application to insure the files transmitted and received are virus free. *We urge all students to bookmark and review the School of Health Blackboard tutorial at <http://www.csudh.edu/soh/soh_design/soh_new/bbt.htm> **If you do not have basic familiarity with basic computing, it is highly recommended that you seek out concurrent remediation by enrolling in basic computer class at your local community college, adult education school or identifying local resources e.g. friends and family Developed by the Technology Affairs Committee, CSUDH Division of Nursing 05/01, Revised 02/02 .

Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office MICROSOFT OFFICE INTRODUCTION Microsoft Office is an office suite of desktop applications, servers and services for the Microsoft Windows and OS X operating systems. It was first announced by Bill Gates of Microsoft on August 1, 1988 at COMDEX in Las Vegas. Initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications, the first version of Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over the years, Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker, OLEdata integration and Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications brand. On 10 July 2012, Softpedia reported that Office is used by over a billion people worldwide. The current versions are Office 2013 for Windows, released on October 11, 2012; and Office 2011 for OS X, released October 26, 2010 On 24 October 2012, the RTM final code of Office 2013 Professional Plus was released to TechNet and MSDN subscribers for download. On 15 November 2012, the 60-day trial version of Office 2013 Professional Plus was released for download. All devices running Windows Phone and Windows RT come pre-installed with Office Mobile and Office RT, respectively. Office Mobile is also available for Android phones and the iPhone. A version of Office for the iPad was launched in March 2014. A web-based version of Office called Office Online, is also available COMPONENTS Word Microsoft Word is a word processor and was previously considered the main program in Office.

It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems.[3] [4] [5] Versions were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), the Apple Macintosh (1984), 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 Microsoft Word 2 Works Suite. Beginning with the 2003 version, the branding was revised to emphasize Word's identity as a component within the Office suite; Microsoft began calling it Microsoft Office Word instead of merely Microsoft Word. The latest releases are Word 2007 for Windows and Word 2008 for Mac OS X, while Word 2007 can also be run emulated on Linux[6] . There are commercially available add-ins that expand the functionality of Microsoft Word. History Word 1981 to 1989 Concepts and ideas of Word were brought from Bravo, the original GUI writing word processor developed at Xerox PARC.[7] [8] On February 1, 1983, development on what was originally named Multi-Tool Word began.

Geschichte Von Microsoft Office - Der Große Überblick
Geschichte von Microsoft Office - der große Überblick 10.11.2018 | 08:21 Uhr | Thomas Joos | PC-WELT 1989 hat Microsoft erstmalig seine Unternehmensanwendungen zu einer Office-Suite zusammengeschnürt, und zwar erst für Apple Macintosh und dann für Windows. Begleiten Sie uns auf eine kleine Zeitreise durch die Meilensteine der Office-Geschichte. Microsoft Office - vom Apple bis in die Cloud © Microsoft Viele Anwender arbeiten seit den ersten Versionen mit den Microsoft-Produkten in der Office- Suite, einige sind erst mit späteren Versionen vertraut. In diesem Beitrag geben wir eine Übersicht darüber, welche Versionen es gab und welche Besonderheiten diese geboten haben. Begleiten Sie uns ein paar Jahre zurück in die Geschichte von Microsoft Office und Windows. Word, Excel und PowerPoint - wie alles begann Auch heute noch sind Word (Textverarbeitung), Excel (Tabellenkalkulation) und PowerPoint (Präsentationsprogramm) die drei Kernprogramme in Microsoft Office. Schon weit bevor die Office-Pakete geschnürt wurden, hat Microsoft diese Programme einzeln angeboten. Word 1.0 wurde 1983 für MS DOS zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Programm basiert auf Bravo, dem ersten Textverarbeitungsprogramm mit dem WYSIWYG-Ansatz (What you see is what you get), also der Bearbeitung von Text und dem sofortigen Anzeigen des Ergebnisses. Der Entwickler von Bravo, Charles Simonyi, wechselte 1981 zu Microsoft und arbeitete seitdem an der Entwicklung von Word mit. Neben seinen Flügen zur ISS 2007/2009 war der Milliardär auch für verschiedene Office-Suiten verantwortlich. Word ist das wichtigste Programm in der Office-Suite und in folgenden Versionen erschienen: • 1983: Word 1 • 1985: Word 2 • 1986: Word 3 • 1987: Word 4 • 1989: Word 5 • 1990: Word 5.5 • 1993: Word 6 Herausragend waren bereits in der ersten Version die Formatierungsmöglichkeiten und die Mausunterstützung.
