What is Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is word processing software. It is developed by Microsoft and is part of
Microsoft Office Suite. It enables you to create, edit and save professional documents like letters
and reports.

Brief History
Microsoft word was released in 1983 as Multi-Tool Word. Its first version was based on the
framework of Bravo which was world's first graphical writing program.

Microsoft renamed Multi Tool Word to Microsoft Word, and then in October 1983, Microsoft
released its first version for the IBM PC.

In 1985, Microsoft ported it to the Macintosh which was different from its DOS-based
counterpart, i.e. Macintosh offered various major interface changes.

In 1989, Microsoft released a new version of Word for its Windows operating systems. It was the
Microsoft Word who introduced the concept of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get),
i.e. it allowed to create and display bold and italics text.
In 2014, Microsoft developed the source code for Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a.

Microsoft Office or MS Office Suite is an all-in-one package of several programs that help us
perform most office-related tasks, such as creating documents, spreadsheets, presentations,
databases, etc. Some of the essential software programs of MS Office Suite include MS Word,
MS Excel, PowerPoint, etc. To make all these software user-friendly and effective, Microsoft
tries to make the user interface similar for the common options, allowing users to find commands
and tools with ease. Office button is one such common option in all the software of MS Office
Suite 2007.

In this article, we are discussing the Microsoft Office button (also called the Office button). The
article also concludes the function of the office button along with the options listed under it.

What is an Office Button?

The office button is an essential element of Microsoft Office Suite 2007. This button was
introduced in Office 2007 with the new Ribbon feature. When we click on the Office button, it
displays some useful options which are used very frequently. Specifically, the Office button
provides us options to open, save, print any document, or perform other common functions.
Additionally, the office button allows us to configure the preferences or settings of the particular
Office product.

The office button found in MS Office 2007 products looks like this:

Where is Office Button found?

The office button is located on the top-left corner of Office 2007 programs, namely Excel, Word,
PowerPoint, etc. The button is attached with the ribbon and is identified by a circle containing an
Office logo inside it.

Office Button Menu Options

The following options or commands are displayed when we click on the Office button:

o New: This option allows us to create a new, blank file in the corresponding Office
program, such as MS Word, MS Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
o Open: This option allows us to open an existing file from the local storage on our
computer.
o Save: This option allows us to permanently save a temporary file to our computer after
finishing the work. Additionally, we can save the changes to the current file using this
command.
o Save As: This option allows us to save a copy of the active file with the desired file name

SPSS Tutorial

This tutorial provides basic and advanced concepts of SPSS. Our SPSS tutorial is designed for
beginners and professionals. In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to write proper SPSS. The
aim of SPSS is to provide statistical analysis. Our SPSS tutorial includes all topics of SPSS, such
as what is SPSS, SPSS Statistics, Parametric Vs. Non-Parametric Stats, SPSS Variables, SPSS
Column and Alignment, Scale of Measurement, SPSS Data File Types, SPSS Compute Variable
Function, Data transformation, etc.

SPSS Introduction
o In this tutorial, we are going to understand how to run the data analysis technique in
SPSS. SPSS stands for statistic package for social science, but the power and capability
go beyond social science students. This tutorial gives us a background understanding and
deep knowledge of SPSS.
 o SPSS develops as a programming language, and it is designed to provide statistical
analysis. SPSS is a complex and powerful application which have a graphical and
syntactical interface. It is used to provide dozens of functions for managing, analyzing,
and presenting data. The statistical capability of SPSS contains a range from simple
percentages to complex analyses of the linear models, variances, and multiple
regressions. We can range our data from binary variables to logarithmic variables. It
provides us an extensive data management functions.
o In this tutorial, we will learn how to write the SPSS program, enter data in SPSS, Data
transformation, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, creating tables and
charts, and exploring several functions for managing our data.
o In this course, we will see everything we need to know about SPSS. The first step of this
course actually shows us how to design a questionnaire that suits the SPSS program.
After that, we will go a step further into coding our data into SPSS.
o The important part of SPSS is how to choose the right statistical technique in SPSS. We
break down the process of choosing the right statistical technique in SPSS by creating a
flow chart and a statistical decision tree. Based on the type of question we have, based on
the type of variable (Independent variable or dependent variable), and based on
the measurement level, we will be able to choose the right test in SPSS. The treatment
of data and the choice of the right statistical test depend upon the kind of measure we
have taken for the variable.

Photoshop Tutorial

Our Photoshop tutorial is designed for learning Photoshop, which is leading photo editing
software.

This Photoshop tutorial is designed for both beginners and professionals. This tutorial is useful
for photographers, graphic designers, and other professionals.

We have started this tutorial from scratch; we will cover all the basics and advanced topics of
Photoshop editing. Further, we will discuss the useful tips and tricks for photo editing.
Each topic in this tutorial has a maximum number of annotated images so that you can learn each
step easily.

In this tutorial, we will discuss each aspect of Photoshop tools and editing, including workspace,
layers, tools, photo editing, smart objects, blend mode, colors and gradients, selection technique,
filters, etc. We will also discuss some advanced topics such as web designing in Photoshop.

What is Photoshop?
Photoshop is an exceptional raster-based photo editing software used for graphical work. It is
primarily used to create, edit, and manipulate several graphical as well as digital artworks.

Photoshop is developed by Adobe Systems and provides support for Windows and Mac
OS operating systems.

We can create images with layers and save them in a different image format such as jpg, png, gif,
tiff, etc. The default file format for Photoshop files is PSD. The PSD stands for Photoshop
Document, which is a native file format for Photoshop. It saves the works in actual position as it
is in the Photoshop workspace. When we open a PSD file, it will open the files with layers.

Photoshop is a premium adobe tool that comes with a 7 days trial period. It is a very popular tool
among photographers and graphic designers. It is such popular that the term photo editing is
known as Photoshop. It provides numerous editing tools and plugins that make it user-friendly
and easy to use for editing.

Features of Photoshop
Over the years, Photoshop has become the leading photo editing software from a small editing
tool. The beauty of the Photoshop tool is its unmatched features. It offers several editing features,
which are Photoshop exclusive features. None other photo editing software is much capable than
Photoshop.
Some key features of the Photoshop tool are as follows:

Layers
Layers are one of the best features of Photoshop. Layers allow you to work like a separate piece
of paper that you can edit independently and later add to your work. The main advantage of
using layers is we can edit a specific component of our image or work without affecting the other
components.

Photoshop provides an easy-to-manage Layer Palette with some extensive features to manage
them, such as opacity (Transparency), layer mask, blending modes, lock, etc. We can also
manage our layer stack, such as keep a particular layer up and down by just dragging.

Selection Tools
Photoshop selection tools are very handy to use that designers are additive to work with.
Photoshop selection tools are improved over the years; nowadays, it provides several advanced
selection tools such as marquee tool, magic wand tool, lasso tools, etc., to deal with objects.

The Magic Wand tool is very advanced. It automatically selects similar color pixels and controls
the range of colors through tolerance.

Lasso tools let us manually select the required objects. It provides a hands-free selection process
to select the required region of the image.

Marquee tool allows us to draw different types of selections easily.

Pen Tool
The Pen Tool is a very dominating tool of Photoshop. Nowadays, we cannot assume Photoshop
without a pen tool. Before the pen tool, the software was nothing but a just editing tool. But, the
pen tools make it an advanced designing software. However, the pen tool is not so easy as other
tools. It takes time to set the hand on the pen tool, but you can draw anything that you assume
once you are familiar with it. It takes the design to the next level.

The pen tool's basic task is to draw a path along with anchor points, but the creative stack of this
tool is limitless. It provides three types of anchor points to draw and reshape the shapes.

Shapes
It is an essential task for graphic designers to keep the original quality of the object. Photoshop's
shape layer feature allows us to keep the original quality of the object while manipulating it.

However, the shape layer's outlook is limited, but the capabilities of this layer are extremely
good.
A Shape layer can be easily edited using the pen tool or a selection tool and will retain its
original quality.

Slice Tool
The Slice tool is also a fascinating tool of Photoshop. It is a useful tool for web designers. We
can easily slice any images into different sections to provide an image a web look.

Retouching Tools
Photoshop provides several retouching tools to provide a new look to the images. It contains few
retouching tools such as the Stamp tool, Pattern Stamp tool, Spot Healing tool, Healing tool,
Patch tool, and many more. Every tool has its unique functionality. Adobe has developed its
retouching tools over the years.

Smart Objects
Smart objects are also a very useful feature of Photoshop. They are a kind of layer that holds
image data. The smart object preserves the original data of an image by making it a non-
destructive layer.

We can embed the content of an image into a new document. Also, we can create linked smart
objects in reference to another image.

The key advantage of a smart object is that we can freely perform the non-destructive transform.

Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Create Cloud provides cloud storage to save your work to the cloud straight from your
Photoshop. You can easily access your images from any device using the creative cloud.

CSS from Layers

It is a handy feature for web designers. This feature allows us to generate the CSS code for
specific design elements. For example, if we have drawn a rounded corner rectangle on a layer, if
we want the CSS code for this rectangle, we can do so by right-clicking on that layer and select
the Copy CSS option from the context menu. So it makes it easy to create a web template from a
Photoshop file.

Photoshop Versions
Photoshop was originally developed in 1998 by Thomas and John knoll. Since then, Photoshop
has been updating itself not only in raster-based graphics editing but also in digital arts. It
releases almost every year a new version with some enhancement and improvements.
Its naming scheme is based on the version numbers from 0.07 through version 0.87, which was
the first commercial version of Photoshop. In February 1990, all the way to version 7.0.1. It
made several minor and major releases before version 8.0 in October 2003.

Version 8.0 came with several notable features, including filters, color separation, virtual
memory, paths, CMYK colors, png support, adjustment, layers, tabbed palettes, and more.

Some popular releases of the Photoshop are as following:

o Photoshop CS (Version 8)- 2003

o Photoshop CS2 (Version 9)- 2005
o Photoshop CS3 (Version 10)- 2007
o Photoshop CS4 (Version 11)- 2008

o Photoshop 2021 (Version 22)- 2020

The latest version of Photoshop is 22.1.1.

Photoshop Workspace
The Photoshop workspace is its default user interface, also known as essentials. It contains
several different palettes. At the top of Photoshop's UI, we can see a menu bar, which holds
several menu options such as:

o File
o Edit
o Image
o Layer
 o Select
o Filter
o Analysis
o 3D
o View
o Window
o Help

These menus contain several options for creating and editing documents. In this tutorial, we are
using the Photoshop CS5 version. The functionality and features will be almost the same for
other versions as well.

Also, we can see other windows such as tools, colors, swatches, styles, layers, channels, etc.

Below is the default view of Photoshop:

If you have lost the default workspace while exploring its features, you can switch it back to
default by navigating the Windows-> Workspace->Essentials menu.

What is Multimedia?
Multimedia is an engaging kind of media that offers a variety of effective ways to convey
information to users. Users can interact with digital information through it. It serves as a
communication tool. Education, training, reference materials, corporate presentations, marketing,
and documentary are a few industries that heavily utilize multimedia.
Multimedia, by definition, is the use of text, audio, video, graphics, and animation to convey
information in an engaging and dynamic way. In other terms, multimedia is a technological way
of presenting information that combines audio, video, images, and animations with textual data.
Examples include video conferencing, Yahoo Messenger, email, and the Multimedia Messaging
Service ( MMS Service (MMS).

As the name implies, multimedia is the combination of the words "multi" and "media," which
refers to the various media (hardware/software) utilized for information transmission.

What are the components of multimedia?

The following are typical multimedia elements:

1) Text - Text appears in all multi-media projects to some extent. To match the successful
presentation of the multimedia program, the text may be presented in a variety of font styles and
sizes.

2) Graphics - The multimedia program is appealing because of its graphics. People frequently
find it difficult to read long passages of text on screens. As a result, visuals are frequently
utilized instead of writing to convey ideas, give context, etc. Graphics can be of two different
types:
 o Bitmap - Bitmap images are authentic pictures that can be taken using tools like digital
cameras or scanners. Bitmap pictures are often not modifiable. Memory use for bitmap
pictures is high.
o Vector Graphics - Computers can draw vector graphics because they just need a little
amount of memory. These images can be changed.

3) Animation - A static picture can be animated to appear to be in motion. A continuous

succession of static images shown in order is all that makes up an animation. Effective attention-
getting may be achieved by the animation. Additionally, animation adds levity and appeal to a
presentation. In multimedia applications, the animation is fairly common.

4) Audio - Speech, music, and sound effects could all be necessary for a multimedia application.
They are referred to as the audio or sound component of multimedia. Speaking is a fantastic
educational tool. Analog and digital audio are both kinds. The initial sound signal is referred to
as analog audio or sound. Digital sound is saved on a computer. Digital audio is therefore
utilized for sound in multimedia applications.

5) Video - The term "video" describes a moving image that is supported by sound, such as a
television image. A multimedia application's video component conveys a lot of information
quickly. For displaying real-world items in multimedia applications, digital video is helpful. If
uploaded to the internet, the video really does have the highest performance requirements for
computer memory and bandwidth. The quality of digital video files may still be preserved while
being saved on a computer, similarly to other data. A computer network allows for the transport
of digital video files. The digital video snippets are simple to modify.

What are the applications of multimedia?

The typical areas where multimedia is applied are listed below.

1) For entertainment purposes - Multimedia marketing may significantly improve the

promotion of new items. Both advertising and marketing staff had their doors opened by the
economical communication boost provided by multimedia. Flying banner presentations, video
transitions, animations, and audio effects are just a few of the components utilized to create a
multimedia-based advertisement that appeals to the customer in a brand-new way and
encourages the purchase of the goods.

2) For education purposes - There are currently a lot of educational computer games accessible.
Take a look at an illustration of an educational app that plays children's rhymes. In addition to
merely repeating rhymes, the youngster may create drawings, scale items up or down, and more.
There are many more multimedia products on the market that provide children with a wealth of
in-depth knowledge and playing options.

3) For business purposes - There are several commercial uses for multimedia. Multimedia and
communication technologies have made it possible for information from international work
groups. Today's team members can work remotely and for a variety of businesses. A global
workplace will result from this. The following facilities should be supported by the multimedia
network:

o Office needs
o Records management
o Employee training
o Electronic mail
o Voice mail

4) For marketing purposes - Multimedia marketing may significantly improve the promotion of
new items. Both advertising and promotion staff had their doors opened by the economical
communication boost provided by multimedia. Flying banner presentations, video transitions,
animations, and audio effects are just a few of the components utilized to create a multimedia-
based advertisement that appeals to the customer in a brand-new way and encourages the
purchase of the goods.

5) For banking purposes - Another public setting where multimedia is being used more and
more recently is banks. People visit banks to open savings and current accounts, make deposits
and withdrawals, learn about the bank's various financial plans, apply for loans, and other things.
Each bank wants to notify its consumers with a wealth of information. It can employ multimedia
in a variety of ways to do this. The bank also has a PC monitor in the clients' rest area that shows
details about its numerous programs. Online and internet banking have grown in popularity
recently. These heavily rely on multimedia. As a result, banks are using multimedia to better
serve their clients and inform them of their appealing financing options.

What is Latex?
LaTeX is pronounced as 'lah-tech' or 'lay-tech.' which is distributed under the LPPL (Latex
Project Public License). It is based on TEX, a typesetting language designed for science and
math. Both LATEX and TEX contain a variety of font styles, such as serif, typewriter, and a set
of mathematical functions. It is an open-source and powerful document preparation system. It is
high-quality typesetting, which can be used for any publishing. It is often used for scientific
publications and medium to large technical documents. It is not a word processor or any word
document, but it is an efficient way for the publishers and the authors to organize their materials.
It gives a unique appearance to the system. It saves the time for designing as well as the efforts
used for the documents.

The Latex system handles the layout and formatting of the structures using familiar concepts of
the section, table, figure, chapter, etc. It follows the philosophy of separate presentation, i.e.,
separating the writing contents and the visual appearance so that the authors can focus more on
the content rather than its appearance. It is named as the standard for the communication and
publication of the technical or scientific documents.
Features of Latex
o Latex is a markup language and free license software. It includes a set of built-in
commands.
o It is a mode of mathematical and special symbols.
o LaTeX is generally distributed along with plain TEX, i.e., it provides a set of macros for
TEX to interpret. The other macros for TEX are Plain TEX, GNU Texinfo, etc.
o LaTeX is not compatible with the GNU (General Public License). It is available on most
of the operating systems like UNIX, BSD, Linux, Windows, DOS, etc.

TeX
TeX is a typesetting system or the formatting system written and designed by Donald
Knuth released in 1978. It is the most used typographical system. It performs many typesetting
tasks, especially Latex. It is popular in mathematics, computer science, engineering, physics,
statistics, economics, etc. It was developed to produce high-quality output. The books published
in TEX are Addison Wesley, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, etc. It
was primarily designed for typeset mathematics.

History of Latex
Latex was created by the American computer scientist named Leslie Lamport in 1983 when he
was working at SRI International. LATEX was created as an addition to the Tex typesetting
system and to make it easier to produce books and articles within TEX. Leslie Lamport was
writing TEX for his use, while he thought that a little more effort could lead this to use by others
as well. A person who convinced Leslie to write LATEX's user manual publication was an editor
at the Addison-Wesley named Peter Gordon.

Play Video
This publication came out in 1986 and sold thousands of copies while its LATEX macros version
was released in 1984 and 1985. On August 21, 1989, Lamport turned over his maintenance and
development of LATEX to Frank Mittelbach at the TUG (TeX Users Group) meeting at
Stanford. The Latex3 team was formed when Mittelbach, along with Chris Rowley and Rainer
Schopf, started working together. In 1994, the current standard version LATEX 2e was released
while continue working on version Latex3.

The Latex3 is currently under a long term development project. For the Tex system, there are
numerous applications, some of which may have extra additional features like telephone support
and typefaces.

The first paper of Donald Knuth, The Art of Computer Programming, was published in 1968,
which used a Monotype machine for typesetting. After that second edition was published in
1976, the whole book was again typeset because the phototypesetting replaced the Monotype
machine. The original fonts were no longer available after this edition.

Donald Knuth was not satisfied with the second edition, so he was motivated to design his
typesetting system. He saw the high-quality output of digital typesetting and became interested in
it. On May 13, 1977, he had written a memo, which describes the basic features of TEX. The
first version of Tex was written in the SAIL programming language. A new version of Tex
called TEX82, which was published in 1982.

The current version of TEX is 3.14159265, which was updated on January 12, 2014. The
design was frozen after the version 3.0, and all the newer version contains no other additional
features, but only contains the bug fixing feature.

You need TEX live to write into the Latex. But if you want to compile your document to a
single PDF and edit with the syntax colorization, you must need the Latex editor.

Below is the TEXMAKER, which is a cross-platform Latex editor, with an integrated PDF
viewer.

The screen of the TEXMAKER will look like the image shown below:
