Structure The Page With Layout Guides

Use layout guides to organize text, pictures, and other objects into columns and rows so that your
publication has an ordered, consistent look.

What are layout guides?

Layout guides help you maintain the alignment of objects, such as pictures, text boxes, and
tables. When enabled, the layout guides give you visible guidance to align objects on the page.

Shapes, Pictures, Text Boxes, Tables, WordArt, and Grouped objects can align using their edges
or their midlines. Tables can also align using their gridlines. As you drag or resize an object over
a layout guide, the edges, midlines, and (in the case of tables) gridlines will briefly stick to the
guide giving you an indication of the guides location.

97
Figure 124:layout guides

Layout guides include margin, column, row, and baseline guides.

Documentation of MS access

Introduction of MS access:

The mid-1980s: Microsoft initially tried to sell a relational database product. Microsoft bought
the license to sell R: Base. The late-1980s: Microsoft started developing its own database
targeted for Microsoft Windows and OS/2. Mid 1992: Microsoft released a beta version of
Cirrus, a database product. It was given the official name of Access. Late 1992: Microsoft
released the first version of Access. Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS)
from Microsoft. It offers a combination of graphical user interface (GUI) and application
development tools with the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine.

Microsoft Access is licensed as part of the Microsoft Office suite of applications. With Access,
users can design tables and forms and create complex queries, without having any programming
expertise.

Step 1) from desktop, 'New’ option.

Step 1) Right Click from Desktop and Click 'New'

Step 2) Click on 'Microsoft Access Database Option'

109
Step 2) Below MS Access Application window will appear:

110
Steps 3) Press 'Esc'

This will open the MS Access windows application

How to Create a Database:

There are two ways to create Database in SQL Access:

Create Database from Template

Create a Blank Database

Create Database from Template

There are many situations where we need to start with some readymade database template for
given requirements.

MS Access provides many ready to use templates for such types of databases requirements
where the data structure is already defined.

You can keep customizing the template structure further as per our requirement.

MS Access Databases example includes Contacts, Student, Time tracking, etc.

111
Steps to create Database from Template

Step 1) With MS Access application open, Click on File.

The below window will appear. All the Database templates are displayed below.

112
Step 2) we can select any template by clicking on it. Click on Contact Template for further
reverence.

113
Step 3) File name box will appear with the default file name.

Database created and below window will appear.

114
Step 4) optionally, you can click on any of the objects from left navigation pane and open that
object for further references and work.

For, E.g. Clicking on 'Contact Detail' form will open 'Contact Detail' form as displayed below.

Create a Blank Database

Step 1) With MS Access application open, Click on File > New

115
Step 2) Click on 'Blank Database.'

Step 3) File name box will appear with the default file name.

116

How to Create Table

There are two ways to create Database in MS Access:

Create a Table from Design View

Create a Table from Datasheet View

Create Table – Datasheet View

Step 1) First Click Create tab. Then from Tables group, click Table.

117
Step 2) System will display the default table created with 'Table1' name.

Step 3) To Rename Column, double click on Column Header and enter the new column Name.

118
Note that the Data type of Course_ID is 'AutoNumber.' Hence this is also the Unique Key of the
table.

Step 4) You can Add Column by clicking on any category from the 'Add & Delete' group.
Alternatively, you can also add a column by clicking on 'Click to Add'

For Example, click on 'Short Text' from the 'Add & Delete' group.

Step 5) Column will be added with the default name as 'Field1.'

119
Step 6) Click on Header and rename as 'COURSE_NAME.'

Step 7) Press 'Ctrl + S' and Enter the new table name to save the table.

120
Step 8) You can also save new Name, Caption and Short description for any Column by clicking
on 'Name and Caption.' Click on it

Step 9) Dialog Box will appear. Add the following and Click on 'OK'

 'Name' - This is the actual name of the column.


 'Caption' - This is the user view name of the column.
 'Description' - This is the short description of the column name.

121
Name, Caption, and Description now exist.

Create Table – Design View

Step 1) First Click Create tab. Then from Tables group, click Table.

122
Step 2) Table Dialog box appears. For each Field enter Filed Name, Data
Type and Description.

Steps 3) To Add Course_ID as Primary Key, select it and Click on 'Primary Key.' Course_Id will
be preceded by KEY ICON as shown below:

123
Steps 4) Press 'Ctrl+S.' Enter the Table Name and Click OK

Figure 136:How to Create Table

How to create a form:

Create using Form

It is the simplest way to create the form which will:

 By default, populate all the column from the selected table in 'form view,'
 The user can delete non-required column manually

Step 1) Select the table for which we want to create the form and click on 'Form.'
124
Step 2) Below window will appear.

Figure 137: Create using Form

Step 3) Right-click on any cell which we don't want to be part of final forms and click on
'Delete.'

125
'Fax Number' field does not exist now.

Step 4) Press 'Ctrl+S' and enter new Form Name as 'Contact_Form2'. Click 'OK'.

126
Result: New form with the name as 'Contact_Form2' exists under the "Forms" section. [5]

127
Platform:

A computing platform or digital platform is the environment in which a piece of software is


executed. It may be the hardware or the operating system (OS), even a web browser and
associated application programming interfaces, or other underlying software, as long as
the program code is executed with it. Computing platforms have different abstraction levels,
including a computer architecture, an OS, or runtime libraries. A computing platform is the stage
on which computer programs can run.

A platform can be seen both as a constraint on the software development process, in that
different platforms provide different functionality and restrictions; and as an assistant to the
development process, in that they provide low-level functionality ready-made. For example, an
OS may be a platform that abstracts the underlying differences in hardware and provides a
generic command for saving files or accessing the network.

Microsoft office use IA-32, x86-64 platform for development.

IA-32

IA-32 (short for "Intel Architecture, 32-bit", sometimes also called i386 is the 32-bit version of
the x86 instruction set architecture, designed by Intel and first implemented in
the 80386 microprocessor in 1985. IA-32 is the first incarnation of x86 that supports 32-bit
computing; as a result, the "IA-32" term may be used as a metonym to refer to all x86 versions
that support 32-bit computing.

Within various programming language directives, IA-32 is still sometimes referred to as the
"i386" architecture. In some other contexts, certain iterations of the IA-32 ISA are sometimes
labelled i486, i586 and i686, referring to the instruction supersets offered by the 80486,
the P5 and the P6 microarchitectures respectively. These updates offered numerous additions
alongside the base IA-32 set, i.e. floating-point capabilities and the MMX extensions.

Intel was historically the largest manufacturer of IA-32 processors, with the second biggest
supplier having been AMD. During the 1990s, VIA, Transmeta and other chip manufacturers
also produced IA-32 compatible processors (e.g. Win Chip). In the modern era, Intel still
produces IA-32 processors under the Intel Quark microcontroller platform; however, since the

128
2000s, the majority of manufacturers (Intel included) moved almost exclusively to implementing
CPUs based on the 64-bit variant of x86, x86-64. x86-64, by specification, offers legacy
operating modes that operate on the IA-32 ISA for backwards compatibility. Even given the
contemporary prevalence of x86-64, as of 2018, IA-32 protected mode versions of many modern
operating systems are still maintained, e.g. Microsoft Windows and the Debian Linux
distribution. In spite of IA-32's name (and causing some potential confusion), the 64-bit
evolution of x86 that originated out of AMD would not be known as "IA-64", that name instead
belonging to Intel's Itanium architecture.

x86-64

x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64, AMD64 and Intel 64) is a 64-bit version of
the x86 instruction set, first released in 1999. It introduced two new modes of operation, 64-bit
mode and compatibility mode, along with a new 4-level paging mode.

With 64-bit mode and the new paging mode, it supports vastly larger amounts of virtual
memory and physical memory than was possible on its 32-bit predecessors, allowing programs to
store larger amounts of data in memory. x86-64 also expanded general-purpose registers to 64-
bit, as well extends the number of them from 8 (some of which had limited or fixed functionality,
e.g. for stack management) to 16 (fully general), and provides numerous other enhancements.
Floating point operations are supported via mandatory SSE2-like instructions, and x87/MMX
style registers are generally not used (but still available even in 64-bit mode); instead, a set of 16
vector registers, 128 bits each, is used. (Each register can store one or two double-precision
numbers or one to four single precision numbers, or various integer formats.) In 64-bit mode,
instructions are modified to support 64-bit operands and 64-bit addressing mode.

The compatibility mode defined in the architecture allows 16- and 32-bit user applications to run
unmodified, coexisting with 64-bit applications if the 64-bit operating system supports them. As
the full x86 16-bit and 32-bit instruction sets remain implemented in hardware without any
intervening emulation, these older executables can run with little or no performance
penalty, while newer or modified applications can take advantage of new features of the
processor design to achieve performance improvements. Also, a processor supporting x86-64

129
still powers on in real mode for full backward compatibility with the 8086, as x86 processors
supporting protected mode have done since the 80286.

The original specification, created by AMD and released in 2000, has been implemented by
AMD, Intel and VIA. The AMD K8 microarchitecture, in the Opteron and Athlon 64 processors,
was the first to implement it. This was the first significant addition to the x86 architecture
designed by a company other than Intel. Intel was forced to follow suit and introduced a
modified Net Burst family which was software-compatible with AMD's specification. VIA
Technologies introduced x86-64 in their VIA Isaiah architecture, with the VIA Nano.

The x86-64 architecture is distinct from the Intel Itanium architecture (formerly IA-64), which is
not compatible on the native instruction set level with the x86 architecture. Operating systems
and applications compiled for one cannot be run on the other. [8]

Use case for MS Office

Language used in MS office

MS office development

The backend of the office suite is mostly written in C++. Much of the code has been shared
across different platforms. The front-end (UI) is written using platform specific frameworks and
APIs to provide the users with the native look and feel of the platform they are working on. The
code written in C++ has been shared in mobile platforms too. They also discuss the issues they
faced when they tried to port the code to different platforms and also differences between major
C++ compilers. It is a must watch if you are into cross platform development.

Excel is not a database, it is a spreadsheet application. I have been told that Excel is written
mostly in C++ with some pieces written in C. Excel also has an API that is usually called from
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and so many people write extensions, macros, filters, etc.
in VBA. Some have even written full applications in VBA with Excel as the backing store (I
can't think of a reason for this, but some have, I know as I've been employed in the past turning
one of these applications into an application that better supports multiple users, etc.).

Since during the initial stages, C or C++ may have been the only option for them, but now they
are more likely to use the .NET framework for building apps, which they are so much promoting.
However, yeah, it's definitely not Java or Python.

C++

C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to create high-performance applications. C++
was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, as an extension to the C language. C++ gives programmers
a high level of control over system resources and memory. C++ is one of the world's most
popular programming languages. C++ can be found in today's operating systems, Graphical User
Interfaces, and embedded systems. C++ is an object-oriented programming language which gives
a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs. C++ is
portable and can be used to develop applications that can be adapted to multiple platforms. C++
is fun and easy to learn! As C++ is close to C# and Java, it makes it easy for programmers to
switch to C++ or vice versa.

131
Supported languages:

You can select which language Microsoft To Do should use in your device's settings. If you'd
like to use the app in a different language, just update your device's primary language. Some
languages are only available for To Do on the web. Microsoft To Do is available in the following
languages: Afrikaans. Albanian, Amharic, Arabic

Add an editing or authoring language or set language:

The display and Help languages are the languages used in Office for display elements, such as
menu items, commands, and tabs, in addition to the Help file display language. The default
language appears in bold at the top of the list. The order of the languages in the display and Help
lists is the order in which languages are used by Office.

Language Accessory Pack for Office:

If a language accessory pack is described as having partial localization, some parts of Office may
still display in the language of your copy of Microsoft Office. If a language is listed only once,
for example German, then that pack includes the tools for all countries/regions that use that
language.

Change the language Office uses in its menus and proofing:

In Office, the language options are in the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box. The
display and help languages can be set independently. For example, you could have everything
match the language of your operating system, or you could use a combination of languages for
your operating system, editing, display, and Help.

Check spelling and grammar in a different language:

If you need to add text that's in a language other than the one you normally use, Office can help
check spelling and grammar for you. Windows mac OS Web Click or tap where you're going to
add text, or select the text that you want to mark as a different language.[9]

132
DBMS used in MS Office

Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) from Microsoft that combines
the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software-
development tools. It is a member of the Microsoft Office suite of applications, included in the
Professional and higher editions or sold separately. It is also a member of the Microsoft
365 suite. Latest versions have more protections.

Excel is not actually a DBMS ( MS-Access is ) and MS Word is not also a DBMS. DBMS stands
for Database Management system which implies that information is stored in a Database with
tables and records consisting of fields.

As we have learned before a Database Management System is a software that helps its users store
and effectively manage databases. It is a systematic system/software to create, store, manage,
manipulate, retrieves and update any kind of data.

One of the main applications of DBMS is that it can also be used to manage an accounting system.
And MS Access is one of the popular DBMS tools that is used for the same. As Microsoft’s primary
database program MS Access has many applications in the economic world.

Microsoft Access is an application found in Office, and is a Database Management


System(DBMS). Access allows the users to create and maintain relational databases. This
Relational Database Manager (RDBMS) uses a JET database engine along with forms, reports,
graphics and visual basic for custom program execution. [10]
