Today's Offices

    Today's organizations have a variety of office automation hardware and software components at their disposal. The list includes the telephone and computer systems, electronic mail, word processing, desktop publishing，database management system，two-way cable TV， office-to-office satellite broadcasting，on-line database service，and voice recognition and synthesis．Each of these components is intended to automate a task or function that is presently performed manually．Experts agree that the goal can be accomplished when the computer，communication, and office equipment are networked and an office work can easily access the entire system through a personal computer sitting on his or her desk．Then it will be possible to change substantially the way people work in an office．

What PowerPoint Creates

On-screen Presentations

     Slides are the images of your presentation. Slides can have titles, text, charts, drawn objects and shapes, as well as clip art, movies, sounds, and visuals you create in other applications.

 As you create slides, use the slide master to design how your presentation will look and to give it a format that carries through from beginning to end.

     35mm slides

     A service bureau can transform your electronic slides into 35mm slides. To have slides made by Genigraphics, use the Genigraphics Wizard and follow the instructions onscreen. Or follow the instructions provided by your service bureau.

     To design slides that are the correct height and width for 35mm-slide output, click Slide Setup on the file menu.

  Word Processing Software

    Word Processing Software such as WORD，WPS etc. is widely used in The office environment to prepare letters and memos. It allows the user to enter data on a keyboard. As the word and letters are entered，they are displayed in the CRT screen and stored in main memory of the personal computer. If necessary，key errors may be corrected；words，sentences，paragraphs，or pages may be added or deleted ； margins can be established; page length can be defined; and many other functions that involve the manipulation of the written word can be performed．

After the text material has been created on the personal computer CRT screen，it can be printed or stored in the auxiliary storage for the future reference． The personal computer as a word processor is rapidly replacing the typewriter and the dedicated word processor in many offices．

今天的办公室

   如今的机构已经配置了各种各样的办公室自动化硬件和软件，包括电话及计算机系统、电子邮件、字处理、桌面印刷系统数据库管理系统、双向电缆电视、办公室对办公室的卫星广播。联机数据库服务、声音识别及合成系统。这些设备都力图使目前手工完成的任务和功能自动化。专家认为当下列条件达到时，这个目标就可以实现了。这些条件是：计算机、通信设备和办公室设备联成网络；办公室职员能方便地通过自己桌面上的计算机访问整个系统。到那时，办公室职员的工作方式会发生重大的变化。

PowerPoint能创建什么

    屏幕简报

    幻灯片是你所创建简报的再现。它可以包含标题、文本、图表、绘制对象、形状，以及你在其他程序中创建的剪切画、影片、声音和其他可视对象。

    当创建幻灯片时，你可以使用幻灯片控制器来设计幻灯片的外观并给出一种从头到尾贯穿始终的格式。

    35毫米幻灯片

    服务机构能将电子幻灯片转换成35毫米大的真正幻灯片。为使建立的幻灯片具有真图形的特点，请选用“真图形向导”选项并按屏幕上的指示去做，或按服务机构提供的指示去做。

    如要设计35毫米见方的幻灯片，请单击文件菜单中的幻灯片设置选项。

字处理软件

字处理软件（如WORD、WPS）广泛用于办公系统以用来书写信函及备忘录，字处理软件允许用户在键盘上输入数据。当字母和单词被输入以后，它们显示在阴极射线管屏幕上，并且存储在计算机在主存中。若必要的话，键入的错误可以被修正过来，可以对单词、句子、段落或整页进行添加或删除；可以建立页的边缘空白；可定义页长；其他凡涉及对字处理的功能都能够执行。

当文本内容显示在计算机屏幕上以后，文本内容可被打印出来，或者可以存在外存上以供将来使用。用作字处理器的个人计算机正在迅速取代办公室的打字机和已有的字处理器。
