The Microsoft Word 2007 Basic Menu Bar

Microsoft Office 2007 is a Windows version of the Microsoft Office System, Microsoft's productivity suite. Formerly known as Office 12 in the initial stages of its beta cycle, it was released to volume license customers on November 30, 2006 and made available to retail customers on January 30, 2007. These are, respectively, the same dates Windows Vista was released to volume licensing and retail customers.

Office 2007 also includes new applications and server-side tools. Chief among these is Groove, a collaboration and communication suite for smaller businesses, which was originally developed by Groove Networks before being acquired by Microsoft in 2005. Also included is Office SharePoint Server 2007, a major revision to the server platform for Office applications, which supports "Excel Services", a client-server architecture for supporting Excel workbooks that are shared in real time between multiple machines, and are also viewable and editable through a web page.

The Ribbon, a panel that houses a fixed arrangement of command buttons and icons, organizes commands as a set of tabs, each grouping relevant commands. The Ribbon is present in Microsoft Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007, Access 2007 and some Outlook 2007 windows. The Ribbon is not user customizable in Office 2007. Each application has a different set of tabs which expose the functionality that application offers. For example, while Excel has a tab for the graphing capabilities, Word does not; instead it has tabs to control the formatting of a text document. Within each tab, various related options may be grouped together.

The following pictures displayed below are the most basic menu bar or ribbon for the MS Word 2007 version.

The Home menu or Ribbon bar contains the basic formatting options from the font styles, color, and size. It also have the paragraph formatting like left, right, center and justify alignment.

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the default Word document format (.DOC) became a de facto standard of document file formats for Microsoft Office users. Though usually just referred to as "Word Document Format", this term refers primarily to the range of formats used by default in Word version 97-2003.

Word document files by using the Word 97-2003 Binary File Format implement OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) structured storage to manage the structure of their file format. OLE behaves rather like a conventional hard drive file system and is made up of several key components. Each Word document is composed of so-called "big blocks" which are almost always 512-byte chunks; hence a Word document's file size will in most cases be a multiple of 512.

"Storages" are analogues of the directory on a disk drive, and point to other storages or "streams" which are similar to files on a disk. The text in a Word document is always contained in the "WordDocument" stream. The first big block in a Word document, known as the "header" block, provides important information as to the location of the major data structures in the document. "Property storages" provide metadata about the storages and streams in a doc file, such as where it begins and its name and so forth. The "File information block" contains information about where the text in a Word document starts, ends, what version of Word created the document and other attributes.

Why am I not able to edit a downloaded PDF file?

Are you not able to edit a PDF file that you downloaded from the internet?

Just in case you are not able to edit a PDF file that you downloaded from the internet, this article is just for you.

In this article, we have discussed as to why at times you are not able to edit a PDF file that you downloaded from the internet.

Sometimes, it so happens that we download a PDF file from the internet thinking that we would further edit it to suit our requirements. However, we fail to do so. Also, we observe that at times we are able to easily edit a PDF file using a PDF writer tool.

This leads to a state of confusion as we are not able to understand as to why at times we are able to edit a PDF file and why sometimes we are not able to edit a PDF file.

In this confused state, we might just think that there is some problem with the settings on our system which is not allowing us to edit the PDF file; however, this is not at all true.

We are able to edit the PDF files on some occasions and are not able to edit them on some other occasions because restrictions such as edit, copy, and print are being imposed on the PDF files.

In simple words, we can say that we are not able to edit the PDF file on which restrictions are being imposed and we are able to edit the PDF files on which restrictions are not being imposed.

Now that we have come to know that restrictions are being imposed on the PDF files, let’s try to understand as to why the restrictions such as edit, copy, and print are being imposed on the PDF files.

Well, the basic fundamental behind imposing edit, copy, and print restrictions on the PDF files is that the author or the owner of the PDF file wants to prevent the PDF file from any unauthorized or undesirable access. In other words, when the restrictions are being imposed on the PDF files, no unauthorized users can edit, copy, or print the PDF file. This helps in preventing any tampering with the PDF file.

We are not able to edit the PDF file because PDF restrictions such as edit, copy, or print are being imposed on the PDF files and we are not authorized to edit, copy or print the PDF files.

Although imposing PDF restrictions ensures PDF security, it has some loop holes as well.

The problem with imposing PDF security in the form of restrictions is that sometimes it becomes very important to access or let’s say edit, copy or print a PDF file and since restrictions are being imposed, the user cannot edit, copy or print the PDF file.

Therefore, in such a scenario, you tend to remove PDF protection from the PDF files and you can very well do this with the help of a professional and proficient third party PDF restriction removal tool.

Numerous PDF protection remover tools are available in the market. Carefully choose the one that is as per your requirements.

Computer 101: The ABC of File attachment and Transfer via your email or using Web Based Free Services.

Today I'm going blog about using the internet to send all types of files from you to your friend or simply just uploading them to your favorite social network or free on-line file storage website. Let's face it the internet has become an integral part of our daily work routine. Flash drive and external drive are simply not enough for some of us. We always want to access our file or at least a copy of it using the internet or move it from one location to another. Sometimes we are confused on what to use to accomplish all our desired goal of moving or more commonly called file transfer or file upload and download. Now how do we accomplish this task? Well there are several ways on how to go about it. First there your standard free email account from different email provider. Yup every kind of email account has function for transferring your desired file to your friend, work place and family email account. Let's your friend is asking for a copy of the birthday picture you have taken from yesterday's birthday. They requesting for copy to be printed. Instead of doing it yourself or giving the memory card to your friend which would require you to physically move around from your place to his/her place say you need to transfer picture stored on your computer to give them the copy. Why not use your email account to this. Just simple login and create or compose a new letter and after typing all the detail and message you are now ready to attach the requested picture by your friend. But wait do not attach the entire picture at once. Every email has this feature but this feature has a limit. Yup there a limit to how many you can send and attach per email. Also the process of attaching files to your email is also dependent on the speed that your computer is connected to the internet. Oh also file attachment speed is also dependent on how large each individual file and or how many file your going to attach to a single email.

 

You say, but my friends are requesting a whole bunch of picture that i have taken during the birthday party. Yup those are the reality of attaching picture thru your email free account. The size, number and the internet connection speed. All of this will determine how long you will take to upload those entire pictures and send them to your friends. One or two files you have no problem, but more than that and if each file has a large size then think of another way of transferring them via the internet. Okay how about we use free online storage system. There are a lot of them in the internet, hey that a great idea, they are much faster than on ordinary email file attachment plus you do not have to send the file always whenever your friend requested a copy. They can just copy or save the picture as they view them one by one. Well they one catch to this type of on-line storage, the number of file you can store is limited. Some of them offer up to 15 or 20 files per account. Also you need to sign-up or create an account with them in order to have your picture stored in this web based storage service. The same is true with your favorite social networking site. Creating an account is a requirement in order to use the services also every time you use the service you need to log in to use it. Well i guess is not a bad thing, it is also for security reason why you need to have an account with them. Yup they have limitation but this should not discourage you in using this kind of free file transfer services.

Okay i will ask a question is there a web based free service that you could use to transfer your file without having to create an account and log on every time you need to transfer file? Well there is such such and they call their company File Catalyst and their website is http://www.filecatalyst.com/ just click on the link to go to their website. But wait let's make things clear first, I am not in any way related to them, i am just sharing this things because it may help you and me at some point in time. I am sharing this as an alternative means to transfer your files. It is up to you if you're going to use the free Fast File Transfer that they are offering a free service to transfer your file via the internet. Also if ever you're going to use their free services make a research of the company background and other stuff that are related to them. Everyone is free to make his own choice on what to use. Another thing when it comes to sending large files don't even attempt to send them through your standard email server. The file size is generally too large for the basic email server and it will usually exceed the limit. A great alternative is FileCatalyst, they have a free service where you can use their fast file transfer software for sending files quickly and easily, no login or registration necessary. Although you have to input your name and email address so they could notify you if the file transfer has been completed.
