How to use ANOVA tools in Excel


Many functions require the calculation of the sum of squared deviations about a mean. To do this accurately, Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and later versions of Excel use a two-pass procedure that finds the mean on the first pass, and then calculates squared deviations about the mean on the second pass.

In precise arithmetic, the same result occurs in earlier versions of Excel that use the "calculator formula." This formula is so named because it was in widespread use when statisticians used calculators instead of computers. With the calculator formula, earlier versions of Excel sum the squares of the observations, and then subtract from this total the following quantity:

((sum of observations)^2) / number of observations

This calculation occurs in a single pass through the data.

In finite precision arithmetic, the calculator formula is subject to roundoff errors in extreme cases. Excel 2002 and earlier versions of Excel use the calculator formula for most functions that require a sum of squared deviations about a mean (such as VAR, STDEV, SLOPE, and PEARSON). However, these versions of Excel also use the more numerically robust two-pass procedure for the CORREL, COVAR, and DEVSQ functions.

Experts in statistical computing recommend that you do not use the calculator formula. The calculator formula is presented as "how not to do it" in texts about statistical computing. Unfortunately, all three of the Analysis ToolPak (ATP) ANOVA tools make widespread use of the calculator formula or an equivalent single-pass approach in Excel 2002 and in earlier versions of Excel.

Excel 2003 and later versions of Excel use the two-pass procedure for all three ATP ANOVA models. This article discusses the following computational improvements in ATP's three ANOVA models:
• Single Factor
• Two-Factor with Replication
• Two-Factor without Replication

Single Factor
A simple example with data is as follows.
ANOVA 1 BASIC MODEL:
1 2 3
2 4 4
3 6 5
4 8 6
5 --7
6 --8
Anova: Single Factor

SUMMARY
Groups Count Sum Average Variance
Column 1 6 ---21 --- 3.5 ----- 3.5
Column 2 4 --- 20 --- 5 ------- 6.666667
Column 3 6 --- 33 --- 5.5 ----- 3.5


ANOVA
Source of Variation SS df MS ----F --------P-value F crit
Between Groups 12.75 2 6.375 1.506818 0.257897 3.805567
Within Groups 55 13 4.230769

Total 67.75 15
Excel 2002 and earlier versions of Excel use the following pseudocode to calculate the sums of squares:

GrandSum = 0;
GrandSumOfSqs = 0;
GrandSampleMeanSqrd = 0;
GrandMeanSqrd = 0;
GrandSampleSize = 0;

For s = 1 to Number_of_Samples do
GrandSum = GrandSum + sum of observations in s-th sample;
GrandSumOfSqs = GrandSumOfSqs + sum of squared observations in s-th sample;
GrandSampleMeanSqrd = GrandSampleMeanSqrd +
(sum of observations in s-th sample^2)/size of s-th sample;
GrandSampleSize = GrandSampleSize + size of s-th sample
Endfor;

GrandMeanSqrd = (GrandSum^2) / GrandSampleSize;

TotalSS = GrandSumOfSqs – GrandMeanSqrd;
BetweenGroupsSS = GrandSampleMeanSqrd – GrandMeanSqrd;
WithinGroupsSS = GrandSumOfSqs – GrandSampleMeanSqrd;

This approach is essentially the calculator formula. This approach computes the sums of squares of observations, and then subtracts a quantity from them, just as VAR computes the sum of squares of the observations, and then subtracts sum of observations^2/sample size. Similar pseudocode for the model 2 and model 3 has been omitted.

Again, for model 2 and model 3, sums of squares are calculated and a quantity is subtracted from the sum of squares as in the calculator formula. Unfortunately, basic statistics texts frequently suggest approaches for ANOVA such as the one that is shown earlier in this article.

Excel 2003 and later versions of Excel use a different approach to calculate the various entries in the SS column of the ANOVA table. For illustration, this article assumes that the numeric data in the earlier example appear in cells A2:C7 with missing data in cells B6 and B7.
• Total SS is just DEVSQ applied to all the data, such as DEVSQ(A2:C7). DEVSQ works correctly even though data is missing.
• Between Groups SS is Total SS minus the sum of DEVSQ applied to each column, such as DEVSQ(A2:A7) + DEVSQ(B2:B7) + DEVSQ(C2:C7).
• Within Groups SS is Total SS minus Between Groups SS.

#VALUE error when you add text and values in Excel

In Microsoft Excel, when you perform a mathematical operation on cells that contain text and values, you may receive a #VALUE! error. In this post i will given some idea for Microsoft Excel Support to slove that type of problems.

Although some functions correctly evaluate cells and ignore text strings, if you add the cells by using arithmetic operators such as addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), or division (/), an error value may occur.

Do the following for Resolution

Instead of using an individual mathematical operator, use its equivalent worksheet function instead:
SUM (adds)
PRODUCT (multiplies)
QUOTIENT (divides)
For example, if you type the following information in cells A1:A7 of a worksheet

A1: 10
A2: text
A3: 20
A4: =A1+A2+A3
A5: =SUM(A1+A2+A3)
A6: =SUM(A1,A2,A3)
A7: =SUM(A1:A3)


the formulas in cells A4 and A5 return a #VALUE! error; however, cells A6 and A7 return the correct value of 30.

How to use startup folders in Excel

Folders that Excel uses at startup
If you install Excel in the default location, Excel opens files from the following paths:
• In Microsoft Office Excel 2003, the path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Xlstart

In Microsoft Office Excel 2007, the path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Xlstart
• C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

In this path, User_name is your logon user name.
• The folder that is specified in the At startup, open all files in box

Note
To find the At startup, open all files in box in Excel 2003, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the General tab.

To find the At startup, open all files in box in Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Excel Options, and then click Advanced. The At startup, open all files in box is under General.

Accepted file types during Excel startup

You typically use startup folders to load Excel templates and add-ins. You can also use startup folders to load workbooks. When you load the following types of files from a startup folder, the files have the important characteristics that are described in the following list.
Templates
If you save a workbook named Book.xlt, and then put it in a startup folder location, that workbook is the default workbook when you start Excel or open a new workbook.

To use additional templates, you must save them in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033
To use the templates in Excel 2003, follow these steps:
1. On the File menu, click New.
2. In the New Workbook task pane, click On my computer under Templates.
3. In the Templates dialog box, double-click the template for the type of workbook that you want to create on the Spreadsheet Solutions tab.

To use the templates in Excel 2007, follow these steps:
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click New.
2. Under Templates, click Installed Templates.
3. Under Installed Templates, click the template that you want, and then click Create.
Add-ins
Add-ins (.xla files) that you put in a startup folder do not typically appear when you start Excel. The add-ins are loaded in memory. The add-ins run any auto macros.

You can use these add-ins by whatever method the add-in provides (for example, a command on a menu or a button on a toolbar).
Workbooks
Workbooks (.xls files) that you put in a startup folder are loaded and appear when you start Excel, unless the workbook is saved in a hidden state.

New Field button is unavailable in Show Field dialog boxes in Outlook

When you use the Field Chooser or Show Fields options in Microsoft Outlook, the resulting dialog boxes may display the New Field button as dimmed (unavailable), or if available, when you click the New Field button, you may receive the following message:
You do not have permission to add a custom field to the folder. Any field you create will appear only in the current view.

To fix this Outlook problem we have to care on You can only create MAPI folder to which you have sufficient privileges.

How to Access Show Field Option

To access the Show Fields option, on the View menu, point to Current View, point to Customize Current View, and then click Fields.

Note In Outlook 2003, on the View menu, point to Arrange By, point to Current View, click Customize Current View, and then click Fields.

The New Field button is not available for one of the following reasons:

- The current folder is a file system folder. For example, if the folder banner shows that the active folder is My Documents, then the New Field button will be unavailable.

- You do not have sufficient permissions to the selected MAPI folder. If the current folder is a MAPI folder, such as a public folder, you must have sufficient permissions to that folder to allow the creation of fields. Have the folder owner ensure create permission is available to you for the active folder. The folder owner, or another user with sufficient permissions, can access the permission settings for the folder by right-clicking the folder in the Outlook Bar or Folder List, and then clicking Properties on the shortcut menu.

To validate that the New Field button is working properly, follow these steps:

1. Select the Inbox or another MAPI folder to which you know you have sufficient permissions.
2. Right-click a column header and click Field Chooser on the shortcut menu.
3. Confirm that the New Field button is available by clicking the button

mail Word 2007 Document For Reviews and Tracking Changes

Emailing a Word 2007 document to another user for review, meaning any changes they make it will track those changes in Word 2007, is a snap!

Getting it setup takes a few more steps than previous version of Word 2000, Word XP (2002) and Word 2003. Because in those versions it was a simple: File>Send To>Mail Recipient (For Review), and then click the Send (b) to email it off.

Stop bloviating and tell me where to do the same with Word 2007 you opine! Fine. But let me warn you that writing more than steps is not only therapeutic for me when it comes to blogging, but downright fun!

Email Word 2007 Document For Review and Tracking Changes Steps. First you have to add the Send For Review (b) to you QAT (Quick Access Toolbar). Yeah! I know there’s not another easier way I know of. So Right /QAT toolbar>Customize, /Choose commands arrow>All, scroll to & //Send for Review, /ok. Now on your QAT toolbar /Send for Review (b) and it will do two things: first attach your Word 2007 document into an email, and also it turns on the Track Changes (b) on the Review tab. Now just type in an email address and /Send (b) to email your document off to one of your Super Friends!

Once Wonder Woman (one of your Super Friends) opens the attachment and makes any changes to the document, it will track it i.e. if she deletes a word it will put a red line through it, and if she adds text it will color it in green. So when she’s done all she has to do email those changes back to you where you can, with the help of Reviewing tab, accept or reject her changes i.e. removing the red lines for deletions, or removing her added text.

You know you can just as easily open Word 2007, /Review tab & /the Track Changes (b) and turn on the changes yourself and the /Word’s Office Logo (b)>Send and email without having to add the Send For Review (b) to your QAT toolbar.

Having said that I bet you’re thinking: I wouldn’t choose Wonder Woman as a Super Friend with only a magic lasso to protect me, and second anybody can turn off the “Track Changes” feature and then I couldn’t protect my document from unwanted, trackable changes!

Yes, you’re right and so the only way to “protect” someone from messing with your document without being trackable, or seeing their changes is to follow these steps: /Developer tab>Protect group & /Protect Document (b)>Restrict Formatting and Editing, in Task Pane’s Editing restrictions section check “Allow only this…” box and /its arrow>Tracked changes & /Yes, Start Enforcing Protection (b) and type in your password.

Now that’s protection! Okay, having password protection on a document is like having a Super Friend like Superman protecting you. Invincible he is until some krptonite is found - iyogi computer help services breaks the password, but better than nothing eh?

Microsoft Training Tips

When it comes to learning Microsoft Office, there are some real challenges for many individuals. First of all, most people simply open up Microsoft Office and try to navigate through the software without ever truly learning how to use it. This is all fine and good for those who are software savvy, but for those who are not it usually results in a lot of lost time and they still do not learn the program. So, what can individuals do who need to learn to use Microsoft Office but who really have no clue how to get started? For these people there are options like online Microsoft Office training. There are many benefits to online Microsoft Office training and it is highly recommended for anyone who will use this program.

For others who find that online training is not the right option for them then they can choose to use a Microsoft Office training CD. This training CD is an excellent option for anyone who wants to learn Microsoft Office or even those who are already familiar with the program but want to brush up on a few areas. It is so easy to sit down in front of a computer and simply start going through the tutorial and focusing on the areas where you really need help and skipping or just brushing over the ones that are not that important. You might dread taking a tutorial or course like this, but when you actually get involved in it you will realize that it really is a great idea and one that will help you significantly in your career and every day use of Microsoft Office.

There are some tips you should follow, however, before you begin taking any online class and tutorial. And, the first one is to prepare yourself to learn. If you go into the tutorial focusing on other things then you will never really learn all that Microsoft Office has to offer. The same goes for allotting time to take the training. If you are short on time and try to cram an hour's worth of tutorial into 15 minutes then you really will not benefit much from the tutorial. Because of this, it is really important that you focus on time allotment and make room for your Microsoft Office course. You will be glad you did in the end because you will learn so many different things about this software that you never knew and it will really help you in your job and daily life as a result.

You can work in Compatibility Mode or you can convert your document to the Office Word 2007 file format. Converting your document allows you to access the new and enhanced features in Office Word 2007. However, people who are using previous versions of Word may be prevented from or have difficulty editing certain portions of the document that were created by using new or enhanced features in Office Word 2007

Convert a document to Office Word 2007

  1. Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Convert.
  2. In the Microsoft Office Word dialog box, click OK.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To replace the original file with a file in the Office Word 2007 file format, click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Save.
    • To save the original document in its original file format and create another document in the Office Word 2007 file format, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Save As, and then type a new name for the file.

Introduction to Outlook e-mail account types

You can get e-mail accounts from sources such as your Internet service provider (ISP) (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.), your employer, or Web services such as Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, and Windows Live Mail. Microsoft Office Outlook does not create or issue e-mail accounts. It only provides access to your e-mail accounts (e-mail account: The server name, user name, password, and e-mail address used by Outlook to connect to an e-mail service. You create the e-mail account in Outlook by using information provided by your administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).).

E-mail account types
POP3 Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) is the leading e-mail account type on the Internet. With a POP3 e-mail account, your e-mail messages are downloaded to your computer and then usually deleted from the mail server. The main disadvantage of POP3 accounts is the difficulty to save and view your messages on multiple computers. Also, messages that you send from one computer are not copied to the Sent Items folder on the other computers. There are some workarounds for these issues. For more information about working with POP3 accounts on multiple computers, see the links in the See Also section.
IMAP With an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) account, you have access to mail folders on the mail server, and you can store and process mail without downloading it to the computer that you are working on. Thus, you can use a different computer to read your messages wherever you are. IMAP can save you time because you can view the headers of your e-mail messages — who the message is from and the subject — and then choose to download only those messages that you are interested in reading. Your mail is saved on the mail server, which is usually safer, and is backed up by your mail administrator or ISP.
MAPI Messaging Application Programming Interface or MAPI is used in Outlook with a mail server that is running Exchange. MAPI is a lot like IMAP, but it provides many more features when you use it from within Outlook with an Exchange account.
HTTP These accounts use a Web protocol to view and send e-mail. HTTP accounts include Windows Live Mail. Outlook does not natively support HTTP accounts, but there are add-ins that allow you to use Outlook with certain providers. For example, Microsoft Outlook Live includes the MSN Connector for Outlook, which allows you to access your Windows Live Mail account from within Outlook

How AutoRecover and AutoSave work

The AutoRecover option (in these Microsoft Office programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Visio) and AutoSave option (in Microsoft Office Outlook) can help you avoid losing work in two ways:
• Your data is automatically saved If you enable Auto Recover or AutoSave, your file (such as a Microsoft Office Word document) or item (such as an Outlook Support and Outlook e-mail message) is automatically saved as often as you want. Therefore, if you have been working for a long time but forget to save a file or if your power goes out, the file you have been working on contains all or at least some of the work you have done since you last saved it.
• Your program state is automatically saved In Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, and Microsoft Office Word, there is an additional benefit to enabling AutoRecover or AutoSave. In these programs, if you enable this option, some aspects of the state of the program are recovered when the program is restarted after it closed abnormally.
For example, you are working on several Excel workbooks at the same time. Each file is open in a different window, with specific data visible in each window. In one of the workbooks, a cell is selected to help you keep track of which rows you already reviewed, and then Excel crashes. When you restart Excel, it opens the workbooks again and restores the windows to the way they were before Excel crashed.
Although not every aspect of your program's state can be recovered, in many cases, the Recovery feature can help you recover more quickly.

How to Repair a corrupted workbook

I am continuing with Computer Help for Excel Application. It post help to repair corrupted file in Excel. When you open a workbook that has been corrupted, Microsoft Office Excel automatically starts File Recovery mode and attempts to reopen and simultaneously repair the workbook.

Excel cannot always start File Recovery mode automatically. If you cannot open a workbook because it has been corrupted, you can try to repair the workbook manually.

You can also try other methods to recover workbook data when repairing a workbook is not successful. As a preventive measure, you may want to save your workbook often and create a backup copy every time that you save it. Or you can specify that Excel automatically creates a recovery file at specific intervals. This way, you will have access to a good copy of the workbook, if the original is deleted accidentally or if it becomes corrupted.

Repair a corrupted workbook manually

  1. Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Open.
  2. In the Open dialog box, select the corrupted workbook that you want to open.
  3. Click the arrow next to the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • To recover as much of the workbook data as possible, click Repair.
    • To extract values and formulas from the workbook when an attempt to repair the workbook is not successful, click Extract Data.

Add In Excel data on the Web

Some folks at Microsoft Research have developed an add in that makes it easy to use a Web page as a data source in Excel. Here is a brief description:

The Excel 2007 Web Data Add-In provides an intuitive user interface for importing textual data from any given webpage via a user’s selections of interest, such as stock quotes, weather temperature, ect, into a spreadsheet and keeping that data “up-to-date”. That is, if the webpage data changes, the spreadsheet can be updated by a click of the data “Refresh” button. Also note that the add-in can automatically learn from a user’s selection and optionally select similar items to help save time. You can put Excel sheet data over the Network. Microsoft Office 2007 apply this facility through Outlook Support and using Outlook it will done.

Would you like your employees to be able to access, from a Web page, sales data for their territories compared to sales data for other employees? Or how about a spreadsheet for standard cost calculation? Or maybe you want to use a Web page to show the profits in different areas of your company in a chart.

You can save a Microsoft Excel workbook or part of the workbook, such as a single item on the worksheet, as a Web page and make it available on an HTTP (HTTP: Internet protocol that delivers information on the World Wide Web. Makes it possible for a user with a client program to enter a URL (or click a hyperlink) and retrieve text, graphics, sound, and other digital information from a Web server.) site, an FTP (FTP: A communication protocol that makes it possible for a user to transfer files between remote locations on a network. This protocol also allows users to use FTP commands, such as listing files and folders, to work with files on a remote location.) site, a Web server (Web server: A computer that hosts Web pages and responds to requests from browsers. Also known as an HTTP server, a Web server stores files whose URLs begin with http://.), or a network server for users to view or interact with. For example, if you have sales figures set up on an Excel worksheet, you can publish the figures along with a chart to compare figures on a Web page, so that users can view or even work with the numbers in their browsers without having to open Excel.

Add a command to the Quick Access Toolbar

I am continuing with the Microsoft Office 2007 with Outlook Support .Today I am discussing about Microsoft Excel 2007.The Quick Access Toolbar is a customizable toolbar that contains a set of commands that are independent of the tab that is currently displayed. You can move the Quick Access Toolbar from one of the two possible locations, and you can add buttons that represent commands to the Quick Access Toolbar.
You can add a command to the Quick Access Toolbar directly from commands that are displayed on the Office Fluent Ribbon.
1. On the Ribbon, click the appropriate tab or group to display the command that you want to add to the Quick Access Toolbar.
2. Right-click the command, and then click Add to Quick Access Toolbar on the shortcut menu.
Notes
• You cannot increase the size of the buttons representing the commands by an option in Microsoft Office. The only way to increase the size of the buttons is to lower the screen resolution you use.
• You cannot display the Quick Access Toolbar on multiple lines.
• Only commands can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. The contents of most lists, such as indent and spacing values and individual styles, which also appear on the Ribbon, cannot be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.

How Excel Services supports connections to external data sources

PivotTable reports are designed to aggregate a lot of numerical data into sums and totals, and to work with multidimensional data that is organized into a hierarchy. On the other hand, external data ranges are two-dimensional tables structured as rows and columns, that display nonaggregated records of source data.

When you use the Data Connection Wizard or Microsoft Query to connect to external data, you usually create an external data range. The only exception to this is when you create a PivotTable report that is connected to external data. A PivotTable report does not create an external data range. This difference in the way that connections are created is important to understand when you publish a workbook to Excel Services, because Excel Services only supports external data connections based on PivotTable reports and does not support external data ranges.

Composing different types of documents

You can use templates to quickly create all kinds of documents. Word 2007 comes with numerous templates, and you can download many more. When you start a new document based on a template, the document contains its own design elements, and the template's predefined styles ensure that all your paragraphs work harmoniously together.

Start the document

  1. Choose New from the Office menu to display the New Document dialog box.
  2. With Blank And Recent selected in the left pane, review any templates you've used recently, and double-click the one you want.
  3. If you don't see the one you want, click Installed Templates to see the Microsoft templates that were either installed on your computer or downloaded, and double-click the one you want.
  4. If you still don't see the one you want, click My Templates, and, in the New dialog box that appears, double-click one of the custom templates.
  5. If you want to download a template from Office Online, click a topic to see templates of that type that are available for download, and double-click the one you want.
  6. If you want to use an existing document as the basis for a new document, click New From Existing, and locate and double-click the document in the New From Existing window that appears.

    Templates are completely customizable and can come from a variety of sources, so you're likely to encounter substantial differences both in design and in ways you can complete a document based on a template. Try to choose a template that's easy to use and whose design is correct for your purposes.

Complete the document

  1. If you aren't already in Print Layout view, click the Print Layout View button.
  2. Save the document with the file name you want, in the location you want.
  3. If the Show/Hide ¶ button on the Home tab isn't already turned on, click it so that you can see all the elements in the template.
  4. If information such as the date is inserted automatically, don't modify the information—it was inserted using a Word field that's automatically updated and formatted.
  5. Click a content control—in this case, an Address content control—and replace any placeholder text with your own text.
  6. Don't delete any of the special design elements—doing so could ruin the layout of the document.
  7. Complete the document, and then save, print, and distribute it.

A paragraph mark contains the paragraph's formatting, so don't delete a paragraph mark unless you want to remove that paragraph's elements from your document. When you delete a paragraph mark, any special formatting that was designed for that paragraph will be lost.

What's new in Word 2007?

The first conspicuously new feature you'll encounter when you start Word will undoubtedly be the Ribbon, which is part of the new interface called Microsoft Office Fluent user interface. And if you've used previous versions of Word, you'll wonder where the menus and toolbars have gone. That's the beauty of the Ribbon. No longer do you have to wander through the maze of menus, submenus, and toolbars searching for what you want. On the Ribbon are all the commands, styles, and resources you need, arranged on task-oriented tabs. The one remaining toolbar is the Quick Access toolbar, where you can place your most frequently used commands and resources for easy access, regardless of which tab of the Ribbon is active.

Another part of the new Microsoft Office Fluent user interface interface is the galleries. These are the graphical equivalents of drop-down menus, except that they show you samples of all the choices that are available for you to “try on.” There are many different galleries—for styles, for themes, for page numbers, and so on. The galleries provide you with the ability to look before you leap. With Live Preview, you can see how the formatting you choose will change your text, pictures, or other content, or how the overall look of your document will change when you switch the theme simply by pointing to the different items in the galleries.

Some of the biggest changes you'll encounter are the new file types. Word uses a whole new file structure that, unfortunately, isn't directly compatible with earlier versions of Word. Of course, you can open and use files from earlier versions, but people who are using any earlier version of Word will need to download and install a converter so that they can open the documents you create using the Word 2007 file format. However, the good news is that the new file format is what enables many of the improvements in Word 2007.

Word 2007 also includes an entirely new graphics tool, SmartArt, which is designed to help you create diagrams and lists that graphically present your information. If you work with technical or legal documents into which you need to insert citations, a full bibliography, a list of works cited, or a legal table of authorities, you'll find that Word's bibliography and citations features are great new ways to take care of these often tedious and time-consuming chores.

And it's not only all the new stuff that's great. Some of Word's existing features have been much enhanced too. Checking your grammar and spelling has become more accurate, and you can now check the contextual use of words. If you're involved in mathematics, science, or engineering, you'll appreciate the enhanced Equations feature, which not only supplies some predesigned equations that you can edit but also makes it easy to create your own equations and save them for future use. Whether you need legal blacklining to indicate changes in a document or you need to track the changes reviewers make to your documents, you'll find the enhancements to the Track Changes feature—including the ability to distinguish between what has been added or deleted and what has been moved—really invaluable.

Word 2007 has also greatly improved document safety and security. You'll be better able to control access to your documents—for example, you can indicate when a document is completed and that no further changes may be made to it. You can easily check for and remove any sensitive or personal information in your documents that you don't want other people to have access to. You can digitally sign a document to provide verification in the electronic file that it really was you who signed it, and you can even attach a scanned image of your signature right there in the document. With Word's improved document-recovery system, your files are now more secure from loss, and the new file system also assists you in being able to recover files if they've become corrupted. And if you end up with system problems involving Word and your computer, you can easily run a series of diagnostics that can determine the problem and can then either fix it or get you the help you need to get it fixed.

Create charts in Excel 2007

I want to share my experience with Outlook Support and Email Support, and continuing with some information about Microsoft Excel 2007.
Charts can convey much more than numbers alone can because charts present data in a visual way that makes it easier to see the meaning behind the numbers. And with the new charting capabilities in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, it's easier than ever to turn raw data into meaningful information.
Charts start with data. In Office Excel 2007, you just select data in your worksheet, choose a chart type that best suits your purpose, and click. Want to try a different chart type? Just click again and select a new chart type from a huge range of possibilities. Then work with the new Chart Tools to customize the design, layout, and formatting of your chart. You can see how various options would look just by pointing at them in the dialog box — you don't have to spend time applying different selections to find the look you want. And when your chart is exactly the way you want it, you can save it as a template to use again, in Excel or in other 2007 Office system programs such as Word 2007.
Watch the demo to see how quickly and easily you can go from raw numbers to a powerful visual aid.

Proofing Tools of Power Point 2007

The following are some new features of the spelling checker:
The spelling checker has been made more consistent across the 2007 Microsoft Office system programs. Examples of this change include the following:
Several spelling checker options are now global. If you change one of these options in one Office program, that option is also changed for all the other Office programs. For more information, see the article Choose how spelling and grammar checking work.
In addition to sharing the same custom dictionaries, all programs can manage them by using the same dialog box. For more information, see the article Use custom dictionaries to add words to the spelling checker.
The 2007 Microsoft Office system spelling checker includes the post-reform French dictionary. In Microsoft Office 2003, this was an add-in that had to be separately installed. For more information, see the article Choose how spelling and grammar checking work.
An exclusion dictionary is automatically created for a language the first time that language is used. Exclusion dictionaries let you force the spelling checker to flag words you want to avoid using. They are handy for avoiding words that are obscene or that don't match your style guide. For more information, see the article Use exclusion dictionaries to specify a preferred spelling for a word.
The spelling checker can find and flag some contextual spelling errors. Have you ever typed a mistake similar to the following? I will see you their. In Office PowerPoint 2007, you can enable the Use contextual spelling option to get help with finding and fixing this type of mistake. This option is available when you check the spelling of documents in English, German, or Spanish. For more information, see the article Choose how spelling and grammar checking work.

Microsoft Office Communications Server

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, OCS 2007, is an enterprise real-time communications server, providing the infrastructure to allow instant messaging, presence, audio-video conferencing and web conferencing functionality.
Client Software
Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 (MOC07) and Live Meeting console are the client side applications paired for use with OCS 2007. Microsoft Office Communicator leverages the OCS server to find, monitor, and communicate (instant messages, presence, and telephony) with other users within an organization.
Features
One basic use of Office Communications Server is instant messaging and presence within a single organization. This includes support for rich presence information, file transfer, instant messaging as well as voice and video communication. (These latter features are often not possible even within a single organisation using public IM clients, due to the effects of negotiating the corporate firewall and Network Address Translation).
OCS 2007 also supports remote users, both corporate users on the internet (e.g. home workers) as well as users in partner companies. OCS 2007 supports "federation" - enabling interoperability with other corporate IM networks. Federation can be configured either manually (where each partner manually configures the relevant edge servers in the other org) or based on use of the appropriate SRV records in the DNS.
Microsoft Office Communications Server uses the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for signaling along with the SIMPLE extensions to SIP for IM and presence. Media is transferred using RTP/SRTP. The Live Meeting client uses PSOM to download meeting content. The Communicator client also uses HTTPS to connect with the web components server to download address books, expand distribution lists, etc. By default, Office Communications Server encrypts all signaling and media traffic using SIP over TLS and SRTP. There is one exception to this - traffic between the Mediation Server and a basic media gateway is carried as SIP over TCP and RTP.
Compliance
OCS 2007 also has the capability to log and archive all instant message traffic passing through the server and to create Call Detail Records for conferences and voice. These features provide a measure of compliance, increasingly a legal requirement for many organizations, however the Archiving server is not an overall end-to-end compliance solution. Archiving requires you to install the Archiving Server and to configure front end servers accordingly.
Public IM Connectivity (PIC)
OCS 2007 also enables organizations to interoperate with the three of public IM providers: AOL, MSN, and Yahoo. PIC was first introduced with Service Pack 1 for Live Communications Server 2005, PIC is licensed separately.

Microsoft Office Word

  • New style sheets (quick styles) and ability to switch easily among them.
  • Word count listed by default in the status bar. The word count dynamically updates as you type.
  • New contextual spell checker, signified by a wavy blue underline analogous to the traditional wavy red underline for misspellings and wavy green underline for grammar errors, sometimes catches incorrect usage of correctly spelled words, such as in "I think we will loose this battle".
  • Translation tool tip option available for English (U.S.), French (France), and Spanish (International Sort). When selected, hovering the mouse cursor over a word will display its translation in the particular language. Non-English versions have different sets of languages. Other languages can be added by using a separate multilingual pack.
  • Automated generation of citations and bibliographies according to defined style rules, including APA, Chicago, and MLA. Changing style updates all references automatically. Connect to web services to access online reference databases.
  • Rearchitected native mathematical equation support with TeX-like linear input/edit language or GUI interface. Also supports the Unicode Plain Text Encoding of Mathematics.
  • Preset gallery of cover pages with fields for Author, Title, Date, Abstract, etc. Cover pages follow the theme of the document (found under the Page Layout tab).
  • Document comparison engine updated to support moves, differences in tables, and also easy to follow tri-pane view of original document, new document, and differences.
  • Full screen reading layout that shows two pages at a time with maximal screen usage, plus a few critical tools for reviewing.
  • Document Inspector which strips Word documents of information such as author name and comments and other "metadata".
  • Building Blocks, which lets one save frequently used content, so that they are easily accessible for further use. Building blocks can have data mapped controls in them to allow for form building or structured document authoring.
  • The ability to save multiple versions of a document (which had existed since Word 97) has been removed.
  • Blog entries can be authored in Word itself and uploaded directly to a blog. Supported blogging sites include Windows Live Spaces, WordPress, SharePoint, Blogger, Community Server etc.
