Mengatur Tampilan Menu Kadang kala tampilan lembar kerja kita terlihat terlalu sempit,mungkin karena monitor yang kurang lebar,ditambah lagi daftar menu-menu/Ribbon yang ada di office 2007 yang sedikit menyita tempat pula.Untuk mengatasi itu,kita dapat menghilangkan tampilan daftar menu-menu/ribbon tersebut agar lembar kerja terlihat lebih luas.Langkah-langkahnya sbb : a. Aktifkan Microsoft Office Word 2007, b. Klik kanan pada daftar menu-menu,(boleh di mana saja asal masih di area daftar menu), c. Kemudian pilih dan klik “Minimize the ribbon” d. Maka menu-menu yang ada tidak akan terlihat lagi. Menu- menu tersebut akan hilang tetapi hanya di Minimize atau di- hide. Untuk menampilkan menu-menunya lagi cukup klik salah satu menu yang ada,misalnya menu insert,setelah menu diklik, maka secara otomatis menu-menu yang ada di menu insert akan terlihat. Dan otomatis akan hilang pada saat kita klik kembali di area lembar kerja. Klik kembali salah satu menu yang ada untuk menampilkan kembali. a. Untuk mengembalikannya seperti semula, cukup klik kanan kembali di area daftar menu seperti dilangkah ke-2, kemudian hilangkan check list yang ada di “Minimize the ribbon” maka menu-menu yang tadinya tidak tampil akan ditampilkan kembali seperti semula b. Untuk cara tercepat,cukup tekan saja tombol Ctrl+F1 untuk menyembunyikan dan menampilkan menu ribbon tersebut. 2. Mengatur Tampilan Ikon Ikon-ikon yang sering kita gunakan dapat ditampilkan pada Quick Access Toolbar sehingga lebih mudah penggunaannya.Untuk mengatur ikon apa saja yang ditampilkan caranya : a. Klik opsi pada Quick Access Toolbar, b. Pilih ikon yang akan ditampilkan dengan cara daftar ikon, c. Untuk memilih ikon lain klik More Commands, d. Pilih letak ikon berasal,missal pada menu Home.Pilih ikon dengan cara klik ikon,kemudian klik add terakhir klik OK, e. Ikon yang dipilih telah ditambahkan pada Quick Access. Waskitoinfo.blogspot.com Macam-macam Software Pengolah Kata Posted on Kamis, 08 November 2012 | 3 Comments Software pengolah kata selain microsoft word ?. Mungkin kita hanya tau salah satu program pengolah kata yaitu microsoft word. Sangat dimaklumi karena mayoritas masyarakat dunia menggunakan program tersebut tak terkecuali di indonesia. Padahal masil banyak software pengolah kata selain microsoft word yang dapat kita gunakan sebagai alternatif misalnya : Abiword, adalah program pengolah kata (word processor ) yang mirip dengan MS word. Program ini dikembangkan oleh abisource.inc. Program ini cukup ringan dan cocok untuk pengolahan kata. Program ini mampu membaca .doc, .sxw, dll. KWord KWord adalah aplikasi pengolah kata, bagian dari proyek KOffice dari lingkungan desktop KDE. Meski ada kemiripan nama, KWord bukanlah semata-mata jiplakan dari Microsoft Word. Walaupun diharapkan fitur-fitur utama Word akan didukung oleh KWord, dalam beberapa hal penting terdapat perbedaan antara keduanya. Skema tata letak teks pada KWord mengikuti konsep frame, seperti halnya Adobe PageMaker. Frame dapat diletakkan di mana saja dalam sebuah halaman, dan mencakup teks, grafik, dan objek. Setiap halaman baru pada dasarnya adalah sebuah frame, teks dapat mengalir dalam frame ini karena kemampuan KWord untuk mengaitkan satu frame dengan yang lain. Pemanfaatan frame memungkinan kemudahan penataan teks dan grafik yang rumit sekalipun. WordStar WordStar adalah sebuah aplikasi pengolah kata, dipublikasikan oleh MicroPro International, pertama kali dibuat untuk sistem operasi CP/M dan kemudian di tulis ulang untuk platform DOS, sempat mendominasi pasar pada era 1980an. Meskipun Seymour I. Rubinstein adalah pemilik perusahaan, Rob Barnaby merupakan pencipta versi-versi awal dari program; dimulai sejak WordStar 4.0, program dibuat berdasarkan kode yang ditulis oleh Peter Mierau. Microsoft Word Microsoft Word atau Microsoft Office Word adalah perangkat lunak pengolah kata (word processor) andalan Microsoft. Pertama diterbitkan pada 1983 dengan nama Multi-Tool Word untuk Xenix, versi-versi lain kemudian dikembangkan untuk berbagai sistem operasi, misalnya DOS (1983), Apple Macintosh (1984), SCO UNIX, OS/2, dan Microsoft Windows (1989). Setelah menjadi bagian dari Microsoft Office System 2007 OpenOffice OpenOffice.org Writer adalah salah satu komponen dalam OpenOffice.org yang berfungsi untuk mengedit dokumen adapun dokumen format yang bisa digunakan adalah .doc .odt .rtf dan bisa export ke .pdf. Memiliki fitur pengolah kata modern seperti AutoCorrect, AutoComplete, AutoFormat, Styles and Formatting, Text Frames dan Linking, Tables of Contents, Indexing, Bibliographical References, Illustrations, Tables. Program ini sangat mudah

  • The Origins of Word Processing and Office Automation
    Remembering the Office of the Future: The Origins of Word Processing and Office Automation Thomas Haigh University of Wisconsin Word processing entered the American office in 1970 as an idea about reorganizing typists, but its meaning soon shifted to describe computerized text editing. The designers of word processing systems combined existing technologies to exploit the falling costs of interactive computing, creating a new business quite separate from the emerging world of the personal computer. Most people first experienced word processing using a word processor, we think of a software as an application of the personal computer. package, such as Microsoft Word. However, in During the 1980s, word processing rivaled and the early 1970s, when the idea of word process- eventually overtook spreadsheet creation as the ing first gained prominence, it referred to a new most widespread business application for per- way of organizing work: an ideal of centralizing sonal computers.1 By the end of that decade, the typing and transcription in the hands of spe- typewriter had been banished to the corner of cialists equipped with technologies such as auto- most offices, used only to fill out forms and matic typewriters.

  • Almost Perfect
    W.E. Pete Peterson - Almost Perfect Almost Perfect by W. E. Pete Peterson Copyright 1993, 1998 W. E. Peterson Introduction On Monday, March 23, 1992 at 10:30 a.m. I walked into what I thought was a routine meeting of the Board of Directors of WordPerfect Corporation. Bruce Bastian, the Chairman of the Board, invited me to sit down in his office. Alan Ashton, the President of the company, entered the room and took a seat. The three of us had been the only members of the Board of Directors for the past ten years. We owned all the stock in the company. Alan made it a point to tell me we were having a shareholders' meeting, not a Board meeting. This seemingly small clarification was no minor detail. As with most companies, the shareholders of WordPerfect Corporation rarely met in an official capacity. When we did, it was usually to meet legal requirements rather than to address any serious business issues. The important decisions were made by the Board of Directors, even though it consisted of the same three individuals. A special meeting of the shareholders meant a change to the Board. Duff Thompson, our attorney, also joined the meeting. He repeated Alan's warning that we were having a shareholders' meeting, and gave us each a paper to sign to make sure the meeting was absolutely official. This did not look good for me. Alan looked down at the conference table and recited from memory what sounded like a carefully worded speech. He and Bruce believed it was time for a change.
