Windows

- Windows is a personal computer operating system from Microsoft that,


together with some commonly used business applications such as Microsoft Word and
Excel, has become a de facto "standard" for individual users in most corporations as well
as in most homes.

The original 1985 version of Windows introduced to home and business PC users many
of the graphical user interface (GUI) ideas that were developed at an experimental lab at
Xerox and introduced commercially by Apple's Lisa and Macintosh computers.

Word processors have a variety of uses and applications within the business world, home,
and education.

Within the business world, Microsoft word is extremely useful tool. Typical uses include:

• memos
• letters and letterhead
• legal copies
• reference documents

Graphical user interfaces (GUI) accept input via devices such as computer keyboard
and mouse and provide articulated graphical output on the computer monitor. There are at
least two different principles widely used in GUI design: Object-oriented user interfaces
(OOUIs) and application oriented interfaces[verification needed].

Command line interfaces, where the user provides the input by typing a command string
with the computer keyboard and the system provides output by printing text on the
computer monitor. Used by programmers and system administrators, in engineering and
scientific environments, and by technically advanced personal computer users.

Let me explain below these MS Word Document Views and their uses.

1. Normal View

Under Normal View, you can display a single page with simple text formatting
but without any drawings, comments or columns.

This view is useful for quickly entering text and for simple and basic text editing
purposes.

2. Web Layout View

In Web Layout View, MS Word displays page width, format and text position as
it would appear on the web.

This view is useful for testing a page under a simulated web environment. This
view would be especially useful when you are using MS Word for developing
web page layout.

3. Print Layout View

Under MS Word Document Views, Print Layout View is the most frequently used
layout.

This view is useful for ensuring that what-you-see-on-screen is what-you-get-in-


print. This view is also used as a proofing method before it is sent to the printer.

4. Outline View

In Outline View, MS Word displays the headings and sub-headings providing an


easy way to plan and organize the document.
This view is used for structuring the content of the document at a broad level and
arranging the document in various sections and sub-sections.

5. Reading Layout

Starting from Microsoft Office Word XP and later, the facility of reading layout
has been provided. Under reading layout of the MS Word Document Views, a
document is displayed in full-page view with thumbnail images of pages for easy
navigation.

This view will be helpful when you want to read through the document as it is
more reading friendly.

6. Full Screen

Full Screen document view does not have a corresponding icon in the View
Controls. This option is available from Menu Toolbar. Please choose View from
the Menu Toolbar and then Full Screen.

In this view, the typed matter occupies the full screen without cluttering the
screen with icons, toolbars, etc. This gives you more space for the matter.

7. Document Map
"Document Map" is another view that does not have a corresponding icon in View
Controls. This option is also available from Menu Toolbar. Please choose View
from the Menu Toolbar and then Document Map.

Document Map displays the document in two frames. Left frame shows you
various headings in the document and the right frame shows you the document.
You can quickly skip to various areas of the document by clicking the headings
on the right frame.
