History Of Microsoft Office

The first version of Microsoft Word was developed by Charles Simonyi and Richard Brodie,
former Xerox programmers hired by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1981. Both programmers worked
on Xerox Bravo, the first WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) word processor. The first Word
version, Word 1.0, was released in October 1983 for Xenix and MS-DOS; it was followed by four very
similar versions that were not very successful. The first Windows version was released in 1989, with a
slightly improved interface. When Windows 3.0 was released in 1990, Word became a huge
commercial success. Word for Windows 1.0 was followed by Word 2.0 in 1991 and Word 6.0 in 1993.
Then it was renamed to Word 95 and Word 97, Word 2000 and Word for Office XP (to follow Windows
commercial names). With the release of Word 2003, the numbering was again year-based. Since then,
Word 2007, Word 2010, and most recently, Word 2013 have been released for Windows.
In 1986, an agreement between Atari and Microsoft brought Word to the Atari ST.[1]The Atari ST
version was a translation of Word 1.05 for the Apple Macintosh; however, it was released under the
name Microsoft Write (the name of the word processor included with Windows during the 80s and
early 90s).[2][3] Unlike other versions of Word, the Atari version was a one time release with no future
updates or revisions. The release of Microsoft Write was one of two major PC applications that were
released for the Atari ST (the other application being WordPerfect). Microsoft Write was released for
the Atari ST in 1988.
In 2014 the source code for Word for Windows in the version 1.1a was made available to
the Computer History Museum and the public for educational purposes.

How To Use Microsoft Excel

Excel is a massive application with 1000s of features and 100s of ribbon (menu) commands.
It is very easy to get lost once you open Excel. So one of the basic survival skills is to
understand how to navigate Excel and access the features you are looking for.
When you open Excel, this is how it looks.

There are 5 important areas in the screen.

1. Quick Access Toolbar: This is a place where all the important tools can be placed. When you
start Excel for the very first time, it has only 3 icons (Save, Undo, Redo). But you can add any feature
of Excel to to Quick Access Toolbar so that you can easily access it from anywhere (hence the name).
2. Ribbon: Ribbon is like an expanded menu. It depicts all the features of Excel in easy to understand
form. Since Excel has 1000s of features, they are grouped in to several ribbons. The most important
ribbons are Home, Insert, Formulas, Page Layout & Data.
3. Formula Bar: This is where any calculations or formulas you write will appear. You will understand
the relevance of it once you start building formulas.
4. Spreadsheet Grid: This is where all your numbers, data, charts & drawings will go. Each Excel file
can contain several sheets. But the spreadsheet grid shows few rows & columns of active
spreadsheet. To see more rows or columns you can use the scroll bars to the left or at bottom. If you
want to access other sheets, just click on the sheet name (or use the shortcut CTRL+Page Up or
CTRL+Page Down).
5. Status bar: This tells us what is going on with Excel at any time. You can tell if Excel is busy
calculating a formula, creating a pivot report or recording a macro by just looking at the status bar.
The status bar also shows quick summaries of selected cells (count, sum, average, minimum or
maximum values). You can change this by right clicking on it and choosing which summaries to show.
