Watermark Problems

There were some problems today in class. One of the problems was that Mrs. Goeldners laptop didn't want to turn on. The other problem was the picture she sent us didn't want to work when you would insert it in the watermark. We were saving it as a bitmap instead of a png. Running into this problem was frustating because we couldnt figure out the way to put it but finally after experimenting we got it to work.

Microsoft Word 2007

In Microsoft Word the past two days I've learned how to insert pictures by using the insert picture tab. I've also learned how to format the pictures. You can change the shape of the picture and also the color of the border around it. Also I've learned how to change the way a page looks and how to add borders. I learned you can view the styles before actually applying them. I learned about the style set and how you can change it really fast. I also learned about the theme colors and how they are already grouped together to make the page look better. Also I learned how to change the color of the borders around the page. Also in the book I learned how to use the paragraph symbols and how to turn them on and off and what the use of them is. I also learned how to adjust the spacing between paragraphs and change the document properties.

Word 2007 Environment

Inside the Microsoft Button takes the place of the file tab. It has open, save, save as, print, new document. It is a circle at the top left hand corner of the document. The tabs in Office 2007 are created to help make it easier to find things. One of the tabs is page layout. There are also more tabs that are useful and you can do different things to the document with this. It also helps out with making your document look better.

Microsoft

One big change in Microsoft Word 2007 is the new office button. There is not a file button anymore. Also the buttons that used to be at the top such as edit, file, and others are not there anymore. You can also now restrict access to your documents. Microsoft has updated the file names to .docx instead of .doc. With Microsoft Word 2007 you can also put signatures and add other features to your word document. Also they have added the ribbon at the top.

In office 2003 and 2007 you can create word documents. You can also change the fonts and colors of the text. Also in both programs you can add images to your word documents. In office 2003 and 2007 you can pretty much do the same things but 2007 is a better and improved program to work with. The difference is 2007 has things formatted on the page differently than 2003. Office 2003 has the file button and 2007 doesn't, it has the office button. In 2007 now it is easier to find things. Office 2007 you can open up the files from office 2003 and in 2003 you can't.

What is MCAS?

Microsoft Certified Application Specialist is a test that shows you are a professional in the Microsoft programs. The test shows your knowledge in the different programs such as Microsoft Word, Power Point, and Excel. The test isn't easy and you have a certain time period in which you have to complete the test. You also have to get a 68 and finish it or you will have to retake it. By taking this test and getting certified as a specialist it will help you when you have a job and it will also help you outside of your job.

The benefits of having this as an employee will help you look better on your resume when you look for a job. It will also help you when you get a job that requires use of the computers. You can also prove how well you are at using the latest Microsoft programs. Another benefit of having a certificate will expand the chances of you getting a job in the market today. Also knowing more about these programs will better the quality of your work and impress your boss.
The benefits of having this as an employer it will help your employees with their skills. It also helps to quickly complete the tasks using the different Microsoft programs.

I think by getting certified now it will help me in the future. I think that I will benefit with this when I'm at school or when I'm outside of school and later on when I get a job. I also won't have to take the test to get certified when I'm older. This might help me when I'm looking for a job later on. This will also help me to turn in better work. I will also learn more about the different Microsoft programs and I can help others that don't know much about the programs. I think there's a lot in it for me not only now but later on in life.
