MICROSOFT OFFICE. COMPOSITION, PURPOSE, MAIN APPLICATION PROGRAMS

To perform the main tasks of computer data processing in modern offices, it is advisable to use not separate programs, but integrated office service packages, since they implement not just the combination of large stand-alone programs into packages, but their integration into application program complexes, meaning their complete unification. The programs in them have a common user interface and uniform approaches to solving typical problems of file management, formatting, printing, working with by email etc.

Currently, the market for applied office software products is dominated by Microsoft Office 97 and 2000 packages. The latest versions of these office suites contain tools for teamwork, closer integration of components, as well as tools for interacting with the Internet.

Microsoft (MS) Office 2000 can run under the operating systems Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000. Required for efficient work The computer configuration depends on the operating system used, but the minimum sufficient set includes:

• ease of installation and restoration of system functionality. New program Windows Installer simplifies Office 2000 deployment and support.

A new version Office 365 has exceeded analysts' expectations and generates annual revenue of about a billion dollars. Today, Microsoft Office in one form or another is taken for granted, but attempts to completely legalize it continue to fail at the price barrier. Meanwhile, many developers are ready to offer real alternatives to this most popular set of programs for working with electronic documentation on more favorable terms.

1. Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013

Along with previous version 2010 is the most commonly used set of office programs today (for both corporate and home users). Anyone who activated version 2010 before April 30, 2013 can upgrade for free until May 31, 2013.

The trial version is often pre-installed on new computers and laptops. The distribution contains the largest number of applications for creating documents yourself. different types, their editing and collaboration - see the short presentation.

An extensive library of templates is available, and it is possible to download additional materials from the Microsoft website. Here it is worth remembering the “90/10 rule”. According to one interpretation, 90 percent of users use 10 percent of a program's functionality.

In fact, the office software package from Microsoft is a de facto standard, the disadvantages of which include resource intensity and high price. The professional version will cost more than 15,000 rubles.

Microsoft Office 2013 comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Both require Windows 7/8 installed and hardware support for DirectX v.10, so will not work on older computers. The speed of the programs is relatively low due to the heavy interface and severe fragmentation of components (their total volume after installation takes up about three gigabytes). The speed problem is partially solved with using SSD and/or large volume random access memory. The x64 version requires at least 2 GB of RAM.

2. Microsoft Office 365

A product similar in functionality, but different in operating logic. If Microsoft Office, up to version 2013, was distributed as classic boxed distributions for installation and local use, then Office 365 is offered as a subscription and is a cloud solution.

Office 365 is more convenient for collaborating on projects. It is aimed at corporate users and owners of laptops with a constant Internet connection. In addition to the classic set of office programs, cloud service offers a suite of web-based scheduling tools, access to SkyDrive online storage, and free regular backup on the company's servers.

3. LibreOffice v.4.0.x

A fully featured, free, open source, cross-platform office suite. Works on computers under Linux control, Windows 2000 SP4 and higher, runs even on ancient configurations with Pentium III and 256 MB of RAM. It takes up about one and a half gigabytes of disk space (half as much as Microsoft Office 2013). Requires installation of the free Java Runtime Environment component, which is usually present on most computers.

LibreOffice supports most common formats, including Office OpenXML (files with extensions .docx; .xlsx; .pptx and others). Due to the implementation of this format, which is selected by default in Microsoft Office 2007 and newer versions, it is supported in all third party programs significantly limited. Problems still arise if you try to edit complexly formatted documents in LibreOffice created in Microsoft Office and saved in the Office OpenXML format.

The main document format used by LibreOffice itself is ODF (OpenDocument Format). It complies with GOST R ISO/IEC 26300-2010, which came into force on June 1, 2011. Its support has been included in Microsoft Office since version 2007 SP2. Actually, there is no reason to stick with the Office OpenXML format, other than the fact that it is offered by default in Microsoft products. There are half a dozen other equally convenient formats.

4. Apache OpenOffice v.3.4.x

In fact, it is the predecessor of LibreOffice, developing separately from it. In addition to Linux and Windows of all current versions, Apache OpenOffice is supported by Mac OS X, OpenSolaris and FreeBSD. There is even a portable version that does not require installation. OpenOffice with all your personal settings and templates can be carried on a flash drive and run on almost any computer.

The commercial version of another package, InfraOffice.pro, from Infra-Resource, is based on OpenOffice. It contains additional cryptography tools, original design and a set of various improvements. InfraOffice.pro can also be used as a portable assembly on a flash drive. Current value– 646 rubles. This version is especially relevant for commercial use, as it completely eliminates the specific problems of the software licensing process.

5. Corel Office

The distribution turned out to be extremely lightweight, since it contains only a set of the most frequently used programs - text editor, spreadsheet and presentation application.

The software package can even work on old computers with Windows XP and a screen resolution of 800x600 or higher. The single language version takes up only 125 MB after installation. Both early and early Microsoft Office formats are supported. latest versions. Integrated support for cloud solutions works through the Dropbox service.

Corel Office is optimal for netbooks and low-performance configurations. The current price for one license is 45 euros.

A distribution kit with extended functionality of Corel WordPerfect Office X6 is available only on English language. Additionally, it includes the Nuance PaperPort 12 SE document manager and PDF editing tools.

6. Ashampoo Office 2012

Like Corel Office, this distribution is limited to the three most current applications: TextMaker (similar to Word), PlanMaker (similar to Excel) and Presentations (replacement for PowerPoint).

Support for Microsoft Office formats includes the latest versions. Saving to PDF is also available. The cost of a license is 1,200 rubles, and an update costs 300 rubles.

This office suite can be installed on a flash drive and used in the portable version. During such an installation, you will notice that the destination directory is called SoftMaker Office 2012. This is because the Ashampoo Office code is partially licensed from the German company SoftMaker Software - the authors of the next set of office programs under consideration.

7. SoftMaker Office 2012

A compact distribution of three basic applications, the main code of which was included in Ashampoo Office 2012. The professional version additionally includes an email client with task scheduler and contact library management functions.

SoftMaker Office 2012 is available in fourteen languages, including Russian. It supports ODF and all Microsoft Office formats. There are versions for Windows (since XP), Linux and Android (since v.2.2). Price basic version Windows is $80 and Professional is $100.

8. Kingsoft Office Suite Free 2012

This distribution was developed in China, but this fact should hardly be considered a disadvantage. Most programs today are written by programmers from China or India.

Just like many of the alternatives discussed above, Kingsoft Office includes three main programs: text document editors and spreadsheets and an application with the self-explanatory name Presentation.

Among distinctive features the latter – support for flash graphics (.swf) and the ability to display presentations in different modes simultaneously on two monitors. To protect files, encryption using the RC4 algorithm with a key length of 128 bits is used.

The distribution is extremely lightweight (68 MB) and undemanding in terms of resources. Minimum system requirements record lows: Pentium II and 128 MB of RAM.

While the program still has problems with Russification, the purpose of most user interface elements is clear even without translation.

The main difference between Kingsoft Office is the ability to legally use it for free for home users and educational institutions. A commercial license will cost a little more than two thousand rubles (the actual price is tied to the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate).

Nominally, almost all alternative developments now support Office OpenXML, but this office suite works with such files only for opening, saving them after editing in any other format.

9. SSuite Office

This unusual product is distinguished by an abundance of versions with interface optimization for different screen resolutions and system requirements. Personal Edition is a modern minimalistic distribution. It is great for very old computers (works even in Windows environment 95) and monitors with a resolution of 800×600. There is a separate version of Excalibur Release, aimed primarily at owners of netbooks with a specific screen resolution of 1024x600. OmegaOffice HD+ version for FullHD screens is also available.

All distributions are as lightweight as possible (from 20 to 40 MB) and contain from six to eighteen programs, including the Tetris game. All of them install without rebooting and do not require Java or .NET. Personal and extended edition works in all Windows versions(from 95 to 8 inclusive). The release of "The Fifth Element" is intended for Windows users 95 – XP. "Excalibur", "Premium" and "Omega" are designed for the Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8 line.

10. Google Docs

This is a set of three main online services that replace the installation of any office software package on local computer. To connect to them you only need a free client Google Drive– watch the presentation video.

Versions for Windows XP, Vista and 7 are already ready. Work is underway on a client for Windows 8. Currently, MacOS (v.10.6 and higher), iOS and Android are also supported. You can work with documents from your smartphone without even copying them in advance. A full-fledged local client for Linux users still not, but there are simple unofficial ways to use the service.

Documents, tables, presentations - everything can be viewed and edited directly in the browser window, and it is allowed collaboration. The only thing required is an Internet connection (not necessarily high-speed). Officially supported browsers are Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer, but usually everything works in others.

Among the available formats there are all common ones, including OpenDocument and Office OpenXML. User files are stored on the company's servers with the ability to export to any local media. Backups are created automatically and are available within a month. 5 GB free initially cloud storage. Additional volume can be purchased according to the prices of the selected tariff plan.

The Microsoft Office software package has long gained popularity among users of all levels who use office documents in their work. It is not surprising, because each program included in the standard set not only has unique capabilities that are unique to it. Applications of this type are compatible with each other and with other alternative software products.

What is MS Office

It is known from history that the Microsoft Office suite was initially developed taking into account the then trends for working with text documents, tabular data, presentations, databases and e-mail. Later, it began to include some additional utilities.

Microsoft Office itself is a collection of applications for processing documents of almost any type. Many users using standard features one or another application included in the list Microsoft programs Office, its capabilities are often underestimated. The fact is that almost every program is capable of working not only with standard, so to speak, template documents. It is absolutely simple to insert graphics and sound into any document and in any program.

The only thing I would like to note is that the list of Microsoft Office programs in the list of free software not included and is quite expensive. However, this does not stop our users. To activate this software package, you can use, for example, Mini KMS-Activator, which works with almost all versions of Office.

In some cases, you can use unofficial releases of an operating system installation distribution such as “Windows XP Zver DVD”, in which Microsoft Office is already “hacked” or activated.

When using an unofficial package, difficulties may sometimes arise due to the lack of a full set of capabilities in each program. It is clear that such a software product will be suitable for the average user. But for people or businesses who are serious about the matter, the best option would be to purchase the official release.

List of Microsoft Office programs included in the standard set

So, let's try to look at the standard set of any office suite offered by Microsoft.

As a rule, the list of Microsoft Office programs includes several standard applications. They are found in any package and can meet the user's needs in any situation.

Microsoft Office 2007: Applications and Programs

It is natural for Microsoft Office 2007 programs to include various applications that were not included in earlier versions of the package. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the fact that not only functionality the applications themselves included in the list of Microsoft Office programs. The graphical shell of each software product is also subject to updates. However, the standard set itself remains unchanged.

For example, it includes several basic applications. These are MS Word, MS Excel, MS Power Point, MS Access and MS Outlook. These are, so to speak, the basic office programs of Microsoft Office. They are also the most necessary.

Microsoft Office 2010 and higher software package

New releases of Microsoft Office may also contain additional utilities. True, very often users use them. For example, programs like MS Publisher, MS InfoPath Designer, MS SharePoint Workspace and MS NoteOne look very interesting. These utilities are capable of much and can compete with many professional software products present on the modern IT technology market.

As is already clear, these applications became available starting from the version of Microsoft Office 2010. While MS Publisher was present in some releases earlier, other programs appeared only starting in 2010.

Now a few words about the main components included in the list of Microsoft Office programs.

MS Word

Working with text and graphics is perhaps the most common and in demand. This is what it was created for Microsoft application Office Word. The program has enormous capabilities not only in terms of text processing. Many people don’t even realize that you can even register here mathematical formulas any level of complexity, insert graphic objects in the form of single files or slide shows, supplement all this with audio, or even create web pages using the program as a quick and effective remedy based on templates.

MS Excel

Working with tabular data is difficult. But MS Excel copes with this quite simply. Initially, the application was created in order to perform mathematical, algebraic and geometric calculations. Over time, the program's functions have expanded greatly. For example, it became possible to build graphs or create charts or histograms even in three dimensions. Without talking about all the capabilities of the application, it is worth noting that this is one of the most powerful tools in its field of application.

MS Power Point

Microsoft Office PowerPoint was designed specifically for creating presentations that use graphics and sound. It is clear that such processes are resource-intensive, but the application itself has many templates and standard solutions in order not to load the system. If you think about it, you can insert absolutely everything into a presentation. Do you want a photo? Please! Do you want sound? Cheers! Would you like a link to an Internet resource? No problem! In general, you can even create interactive training manuals.

MS Access

This application is simply not familiar to many ordinary users, because they almost never work with (the database). But for knowledgeable people, this application is simply a godsend, because it allows you not only to create or edit such data, but also has close integration with numerous development tools and supports many language applets, including Visual Basic, Java, and working with databases SQL data etc. Well, there are enough tools for data processing here.

MS Publisher

This application is a universal tool for quick publishing. It is primarily focused not even on checking the text part, but on creating, say, your own, so to speak, corporate symbols, conducting marketing research customized to the personal needs of a company or businessman. Naturally, this is not all that this program is capable of, although it belongs to entry-level applications.

MS Outlook

Finally, Outlook. This is a program designed to work with email. Compared to the standard utility Outlook Express this app looks much preferable as it has more features and functionality. Unfortunately, Outlook Express is installed on the system by the client by default (when installing the Windows OS itself). And not many people would think of changing it. But in vain! MS Outlook has much more possibilities. But here it’s worth assessing for yourself what this program is capable of. After the initial test, I think many will simply forget about Outlook Express, considering it practically a child's toy.

Analogue programs without payment

All this is good. But, as mentioned above, the Microsoft Office package is paid. What do they offer us? free programs?

Here it is worth paying attention to alternative software development. The Lotus office suite (particularly Lotus Symphony) was once very popular. Nowadays it is found almost nowhere, but nevertheless it has not lost its relevance.

You can also use completely free software products such as Google Docs, Zoho SoftMaker Free Office, Kingsoft Office, etc. The most important difference from the Microsoft product is that all these packages are not only free, but also open source source. So any developer can optimize them for their own needs.

However, it is worth noting that all these “Offices” are clearly behind what was created by Microsoft. Even despite the declared freeness and widespread distribution in the world, they have not received much attention. The only competitor is Google. Moreover, the office programs of this IT giant are mainly used only for mobile devices oh, and then on Android platform. However, each user is free to choose what to use in his work and what will be most convenient for him.

On the other hand, if you look at it, the average user can use free programs - alternatives to the Microsoft Office office suite. However, as practice shows, few people manage to “outdo” Microsoft Corporation. Even the biggest competitor is unable to cope with this. It is clear that to develop office applications of any type, not one person is involved, but the brightest minds of our time. So it turns out that Microsoft Office stands head and shoulders (if not two) above its competitors.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that any user, even one who does not thoroughly know all the capabilities of the Microsoft Office software product, can simply “dig” into the menu of any of the above programs and find something new for themselves. As a last resort, you can use the built-in help system or read about the main features and functions on the Internet. Fortunately, this is not a problem now.

Hello! Today there are a lot of computer programs (software) for various purposes. In general, they can be divided into two categories:

1. general purpose;
2. professional.

They are often called application programs. Speaking in simple language, they are designed to perform specific functions through a user interface. Okay, let's not go too deep into the theory. Let's get down to business.

Today we’ll look at what computer programs there are for antivirus protection, office work, Internet browsing, design activities and accounting - 1C. I will make a list of names of popular software and briefly tell you what it is.

Computer programs for resumes: briefly about the thematic selection

Computer proficiency level. Is this a familiar phrase? Not surprisingly, it is often found in the form of an applicant’s resume for a specific position.

In addition to the general assessment of knowledge, it may be necessary to indicate specific application applications and their level of proficiency. It happens that you don’t use some of them for a long time and forget the names.

For these and other cases, we will consider small lists of common software and some of their features. From them you can choose the ones you need to study and fill out your resume. Moreover, you don’t have to write everything in it. The main thing is to indicate what will actually be required to perform job duties and what you have knowledge of.

Antiviruses: list and brief description

There is a huge selection of software for PCs and mobile devices.

Here is a list of some of the popular antivirus programs:

• Kaspersky. Exist different versions with different functionality. Among them you can find a suitable option for your home or business. I prefer it because I consider it a very powerful and reliable antivirus for both PCs and phones and tablets.
• ESET NOD32. It's quite reliable. I used it for a long time for one simple reason - in the recent past, my computer was not very powerful, but NOD32 provided good performance.
• Dr. Web (“Doctor Web”). A good multi-platform antivirus.
• Avast. Presented in free and paid versions. Naturally, the latter have wider functionality.
• Avira. Quite an interesting and functional antivirus that can be installed on PCs and mobile devices.

The choice of antivirus depends on individual preferences. The only thing is how experienced System Administrator I would like to point out an existing nuance that arises when there are serious suspicions of a threat to computer security.

When thoroughly checking computers for viruses, it is better to do a maximum scan with several programs. However, you cannot have 2 or more antiviruses installed on your computer at the same time.

How then to do this? I won’t go into details now, this publication is not about that, but as an option, one can check it through Windows, the other from DOS mode.

Office programs

Among them there are standard ones for the operating room Windows systems, and additional. The latter can be classically divided into paid and free PC software.

So, let's look at exactly what office programs there are for working on a computer.

I will list 2 standard ones for Windows applications.

• Notebook. A simple text editor with rather modest functionality.
• WordPad. There are more possibilities than the previous editor, and less than the analogues described below.

To free office programs This includes OpenOffice products, among which, according to my observations, the ones listed below are most often used.

• Writer. Suitable for creating standard text documents. Similar operations are often performed in Word.
• Calc. It is designed to work with tabular documents.
• Impress is designed for creating graphic presentations.

Paid office software includes products called Microsoft Office. Among it there are corresponding alternatives to the three options presented above.

• Word.
• Excel.
• PowerPoint.

They usually don't need any introduction. It's hard to meet a user who hasn't heard of them.

There are different versions of the described software. The choice depends on the tasks at hand.

Internet browsers

I present a list of names of alternative browsers.

• Internet Explorer.
• Mozilla Firefox.
• Opera.
• Google Chrome.
• Yandex browser.

They meet in different versions. For maximum security, it is better to use the latest one available.

The first browser in the list is the standard one in operating system. All of the above are very popular. Among the users I meet, and there are quite a few of them, I notice that they most often use Google Chrome or a browser from Yandex. The latter has cool functionality - protected mode. It is able to enhance security when working with payment services.

1C programs for accounting

A very common program in the field of economics. It is difficult to imagine large-scale business activity without its use. Among the latest versions is 1C 8.

Depending on production tasks, different configurations for 1C can be used. This feature makes your work much easier.

For ease of use, several users can be connected to one database (DB), where all important information is stored. Since not everyone needs full access, it can be limited for each connected user.

Programs for designers and professional earnings

There are many of them. Among the powerful and frequently used ones, 4 specific programs can be distinguished under the following names:

• Adobe Photoshop. Used for image processing.
• Adobe Premiere. Useful for video processing.
• Adobe Indesign. Designed for professional layout design.
• CorelDraw. Can be used to work with vector graphics.

Specific versions of licenses and software are selected taking into account work tasks and the configuration of the computer on which they will be installed.

Having mastered one of these programs masterfully or at least at an intermediate level, you can seriously think about finding a well-paid one. Good specialists with such knowledge are valued in the real world and on the Internet. There are actually a lot of people who want to make money, but it’s not always easy to find real professionals.

This publication is nearing completion. We looked at what common programs there are for performing specific tasks on computers. You found what you were looking for? If so, I'm glad I was able to provide valuable information. If not, then you can ask a question in the comments or add this publication.
