COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS
C = Common
O = Operating
M = Machine
P = Particular
U = User
T = Technology
E = Education and
R = Research.
1) What is a Computer?
A) Computer is an electronic device. As mentioned in the introduction it can do arithmetic calculations faster. But as
you will see later it does much more than that. It can be compared to a magic box, which serves different purpose
to different people.
Ms – Office - 2003 48
For a common man computer is simply a calculator, which works automatic and quite fast. For a person who
knows much about it, computer is a machine capable of solving problems and manipulating data. It accepts data,
processes the data by doing some mathematical and logical operations and gives us the desired output
Computer can be defined in terms of its functions. It can i) accept data ii) store data, iii) process data as desired,
and iv) retrieve the stored data as and when required and v) print the result in desired format.
1) What is data?
A) Data is a collection of numbers, alphabets, or any other form of data like pictures, sound etc.
A to Z alphabet letters
0 to 9 Numbers
Symbols +,-, /,* etc…
2) What is process?
A) A set of sets carried out to refine data is called processing. Process is a work. It can do the process arithmetical,
logical, comparison operations on data. Process is converting into information.
3) Information?
A) When data has been worked upon to give it more meaning. It is called as Information. It is more useful to the user.
Ms – Office - 2003 49
DATA PROCESSING CYCLE
A Computer system has classified into three main components. They are:
1) User
2) Hardware
3) Software.
User: - User is the person who will operate the computer after the hardware has been put together and the necessary
software installed. The user puts in data into the computer and asks it to process this data. Uses the information thus
generated by the computer.
Hardware: - Hardware includes the physical parts of the compute that actually do all the thinking and handle the
input and output of data. The Hardware of computer is all of the parts of the computer that you can touch. The
physical components which you can see, touch and feel in the computer system are called hardware Eg: monitor,
keyboard, mouse etc…
Ms – Office - 2003 50
Software: - Software means a collection of programs whose objective is to enhance the capabilities of the hardware
machine As you know computer cannot do anything without instructions from the user. In order to do any specific job
you have to give a sequence of instructions to the computer. This set of instructions is called a computer program.
Software refers to the set of computer programs, procedures that describe the programs, how they are to be used.
We can say that it is the collection of programs, which increase the capabilities of the hardware. Software guides the
computer at every step where to start and stop during a particular job. The process of software development is called
programming...
They are: -
1) Input devices
2) Output devices.
3) Process.
The Input and Output Devices are collectively known as peripheral devices. The Visual Display unit or
Monitor as it also called, acts as Output devices.
Input devices: - Devices that are used to give instructions to the computer are known as Input devices.
1) Keyboard
2) Mouse
3) Scanner
4) Joystick
5) Light pen
6) Touch Pen/Touch screen
Ms – Office - 2003 51
7) Barcode
8) Microphone
9) Digital Camera
10) Webcam
11) Track Ball
12) Graphics Tablets
Keyboard:
The keyboard is the primary input devices. The key sup is almost similar to that of a conventional typewriter
except for some special keys like the functions key (F1 – F12), the Ctrl key, Alt key, Shift key, etc… When your look at
a keyboard, it seems to be divided into two parts. On the left side you can see all the alphabet keys, and on the right
side you will find a numerical keypad. Set between these two are the Arrow keys. These keys are used to navigate in a
document and even play games. The other keys include the Delete and insert keys, the Home and End keys and the
Page up and Page Down keys. Each of these keys has a special function. Keyboard for special commands in certain
operating systems such as Microsoft windows.
Mouse:
The mouse is the second of the most commonly used input devices. The mouse is a small device that has 2 or 3
buttons. It has a ball at its base that allows it to move freely. The movements of the mouse reflect the movement of the
pointer on the screen. The buttons of the mouse are used to select or open an object. Mouse has 2 buttons.
1. Left button
2. Right button.
Left Button: Left button have two click, one is Single click and Double click.
Ms – Office - 2003 52
2. Double: It is used to open a Folder, Document an Icon.
Scanner: A Scanner provides the capability to digitize text, graphics and picture. Once an Image is scanned, then it can
be manipulated using specialized software. A scanner is an expensive device and is used to make a digital computer
image of any photograph or a picture. Scanner is very full and provide a security to change type of picture or
Document.

Output Devices: - Devices that are used to view information or processed data are known as Output devices.
1. Monitor: Monitor can be classified into various categories depending on their features. It may be classified as
monochrome or single color monitors, gray scale monitors and color scale monitor are able to display only tow
colors – one for the foreground and on for the background. Color monitors, on the other hand, can display any
where between 16 and over million colors.
At present most PCs use a VGA or SVGA monitor. A VGA or video graphics array monitor has a resolution
of 640 by 480 pixels and is able to support 16 colors. A pixel is short for Picture element, and it represents a dot
on a screen. Greater the number of dots, better a picture quality.
Ms – Office - 2003 56
The Super VGA or SVGA monitor may have a resolution up to 1280 by 1024 pixels and can support 16 million
colors. These monitor are based on the CRT or Cathode-ray-technology. This is the same elements of technology that is
used in televisions.
Liquid Crystal Display: A liquid crystal display or LCD or common because they offer some real advantages
over other display technologies. They are thinner and lighter and require much less power than the usual CRT
monitors.
2. Printers: It is another most commonly used output devices. Printers are basically of two types:
1. Impact
2. Non-Impact.
1. Impact: An Impact printer has a printing hand (quite like a typewriter) the bangs against an ink ribbon to print
text on paper. Such printer makes a lot of noice while printing.
Dot-Matrix Printer and a Line Printer are examples of impact Printer. The Impact printers are
seldom used.
2. Non-Impact: The Non-Impact printers do not a have printing head. Instead, they use a different mechanism for
printing. The Laser printers and ink-jet printers are examples of Non-Impact printers.
An Ink jet Printers has a tiny nozzle, which is used for spraying ink onto paper. It fires extremely small
droplets of ink onto a paper the paper to create an image. There are in fact different ways in which this can
be done. The most popular technique is the bubble jet method. In a bubble jet printer, heat energy in used
to vaporize ink to create a bubble. The bubble causes a droplet to form and eject from the print head, which
is turn creates an impression on paper.
Ms – Office - 2003 57
An Laser Printer is another example of non-impact printer. As the name suggest, these printer use laser
technology to print. A laser sensitizes appropriate areas of drum. The drum is then rolled through a pool of
tones. The toner is dry, powdery substances that get attracted to the sensitized areas of the drum. Finally
formed on the drum is transferred to the paper using both heat and pressure.
3. Speakers: Speaker is another output device. Computer have come a long way turn processing textual data to
processing data that involves audio, video, animation, and 2D, 3D graphics, Speakers can be attached to computers
that have a special devices called a sound card. This device allows the computer to recognize the speakers and use
them accordingly.

Central Process Unit (C.P.U):- A Central Process Unit or CPU is a metallic box either kept below the monitor. This box
has some of the important and delicate parts of the computer. The part of the computer that does all the work, all the
thinking or all the processing is called the Processor.
Ms – Office - 2003 59
CPC is the brain of the computer. All the functions that a computer is capable of are due to the CPU.
Main
Memory
Secondary
Storage
The Control Unit: - This unit controls all the other parts of the computer like the input and output device and the
processor. The processor is an important component that performs the bulk of the processing.
C.P.U (Central Processing
ALU: - The arithmetic and logic unit or the ALU takes care
Unit)of all the mathematical and logical functions done by the
computer.
The Memory unit: - This unit is very important. It is used for store the data and instructions internally. The memory
unit can be broadly classified into primary and secondary memory units.
Ms – Office - 2003 60
Primary memory Unit: - The primary memory unit is used for storing data and instructions when the computer is
functioning. The secondary memory is used for saving data and instructions so that may be reused later on.
The primary unit is divided into two parts.
This is the PC’s primary storage area, used to store and retrieve information and
program instructions that is passed to CPU for processing. The type of RAM affects
performance, as the information stored here has to be refreshed quite a few times per
second by the processor.
Read Only Memory is an integrated circuit chip containing programs and data that can
be accessed and read but cannot be modified. Nonvolatile random access storage is the
read-only memory (ROM).
Ms – Office - 2003 61
Secondary memory: - Memory is a Space. The secondary memory is used for storing data and instructions
permanently, unlike the primary memory unit. There are different types of storage devices, and each one has their
corresponding drive.
They are: -
1) Harddisk
2) Floppy drive
3) CD (Compact Disk) or DVD
4) Memory cards.
5) Zip Drives
6) External Harddisk

1024 kilobytes make 1 Megabyte (MB).
Memory specifications are required in Harddisk, Floppy disk, CD, DVD etc…
Software: - Software is a collection of a set of instructions that have been written to achieve an objective. Software is
divided into to categories.
They are:-
1) System software.
2) Application Software.
Ms – Office - 2003 65
System software: - Software that operates a computer system and all its resources is called as system software. It
creates an environment to run the user application program and also controls the inputs & outputs operations
performed by the system. Simple we can say that, this system acts as an interface between the hardware and user
application programs. With out this you would not be run any other software and computer.
Operating system: - Operating system is a kind of system software. The operating system can be defined as an
integrated system of programs that supervises the operation of the CPU, controls the input/output functions of the
computer system, and provides various support services.
Ex:-
2) Multi user Operating system: - The Multi User Operating system processing used to describe interconnected
computer configurations compute with tow or more independent CPU’s tat have the ability to simultaneously
execute several programs.
Ex: - Windows.
2) Application Software: - The application software is software. It used to perform the particular task.
They are:-
1). Packages
2). Languages.
1. Packages: - Packages are pre-defined software. It used to perform the operation on a particular task.
3. Languages: - There are many different languages that can be used to program a computer. The language, which is
used in the communication of computer instructions, is known as programming language. The computer has its
own language.
Any communication with the computer must be in its language. The computer has it own language with the
development of hardware components, the improvements in the programming language have been significant.
Ms – Office - 2003 67
1) High Level Language: - A High level language consists of a set of words and symbols using which the
programmer can write a program, in conjunction with certain rules, similar to the English language.
The characteristics of that machine translator into equivalent machine-code instructions before actual
implementation. The translator into software and the one, which is used to translate a high level language into a
machine language, is called a compiler. These languages are used to create application using programming
source code.
2) Low Level Language: - Machine level Language are generally known as low-level language. A program in
machine language just consist of a sequence of large binary numbers, which are known as “numeric code”.
Programming in machine language is a slow intricate process.

When we switch on the C.P.U (Central Processing Unit). This first program to be executed is the POST – Power On
Self Test. The Post program included the different tasks.
They are:- Execute the number of instructions to check the CPU is working, Checks the ROM(Read only Memory) is
not corrupted, checks the RAM (Random access memory) and check the Uses the I/O Devices Drivers to check for
initialize all available included Keyboard, Mouse, Sound, Disk drivers.
Ms – Office - 2003 69
The POST calls a bootstrap loader, which instructs the floppy disk driver. Then executes operating system bootstrap
loading operating system kernel into memory and executing it. It may load the Operating system into memory other
BIOS (Basic Input/output system) routines not already present in ROM or routines. The operating system loading
process is called booting. The operating system is present to load the graphical instruction then appear standard alone

WINDOWS
1. What is a Window?
A. In 1983 Microsoft announced the development of Windows, a graphical user interface (GUI) for its own operating
system (MS-DOS), which had shipped for IBM PC and compatible computers since 1981. The first independent version
of Microsoft Windows, version 1.0, released on 20 November 1985, achieved little popularity. It was originally going to
be called "Interface Manager" but Rowland Hanson, the head of marketing at Microsoft, convinced the company that
the name Windows would be more appealing to consumers.
Microsoft Windows scored a significant success with Windows 3.0, released in 1990. In addition to improved
capabilities given to native application, windows also allowed users to better multitask older MS-DOS based software
compared Windows /386, thanks to the introduction of virtual memory.
When switch on the C.P.U, then display standard alone picture is called Desktop. Windows has a icons, folder,
application, frames, check box, Radio buttons, Push buttons, List box etc..

Ms – OFFICE – 2003
Introduction:
Microsoft Office is an office suite of interrelated desktop applications, servers and services for the Microsoft
Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. Microsoft Office was introduced by Microsoft in 1989 for Macintosh, with
a version for Windows in 1990. Initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications, the first version of Office
contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Additionally, a "Pro" (Professional) version of
Ms – Office - 2003 95
Office included Microsoft Access and Schedule Plus. Over the years, Office applications have grown substantially
closer with shared features such as a common spell checker, OLE (Object Linking Embedded) data integration and
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform
for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications (OBA) brand.
The current versions are Office 2007 for Windows which was released on January 30, 2007 and Office 2008 for
Mac OS X, released January 15, 2008. Office 2007/Office 2008 introduced a new user interface and new Office Open
XML document formats (docx, xlsx, pptx). Consequently, Microsoft has made available, free of charge, an add-on
known as the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack to allow Office 2000-2003 for Windows and Office 2004 for Mac editions
to open, edit, and save documents created under the new formats for Office 2007.[
According to Forrester Research, as of June 2009, some version of Microsoft Office is used in 80% of enterprises, and
64% of enterprises have the latest Office version used.
The Microsoft Office for Windows 1.0 started in October 1990 as a bundle of three applications designed for Microsoft
Windows 3.0: Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1, Microsoft Excel for Windows 2.0 and Microsoft PowerPoint for
Windows 2.0.
The Microsoft Office for Windows 1.5 updated the suite with Microsoft Excel 3.0.
The Microsoft Office for Windows 1.6 added Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 2.1 to the bundle.
The Microsoft Office for Windows 3.0, released in August 1992, contained Word 2.0, Excel 4.0, PowerPoint 3.0 and
Mail 3.0. It was the first version of Office to be also released on CD-ROM. In 1993, The Microsoft Office Professional
was released, which included additionally Microsoft Access 1.1.
In 1994, Microsoft Office 4.0 was released containing Word 6.0, Excel 5.0, PowerPoint 4.0, Mail, and Access. Word was
called Word 6.0 at this point despite the fact the previous version number was 2.0. The purpose was to use common
version numbering with its main competitor, WordPerfect. Microsoft Office 4.3 was released as the last 16-bit version,
Ms – Office - 2003 96
and is also the last version to support Windows 3.x, Windows NT 3.1 and Windows NT 3.5. Windows NT 3.51 was
supported up to and including Office 97.
Microsoft Office 95 was released in August 1995. Again, the version numbers were altered to create parity across the
suite — every program was called version 7.0 meaning all but Word missed out versions. It was designed as a fully 32-
bit version to match Windows 95. Office 95 was available in two versions, Office 95
Standard and Office 95 Professional. The standard version consisted of Word 7.0, Excel 7.0, PowerPoint 7.0, and
Schedule+ 7.0. The professional edition contained all of the items in the standard version plus Access 7.0. If the
professional version was purchased in CD-ROM form, it also included Bookshelf.
Microsoft Office 97 (Office 8.0), a major milestone release which included hundreds of new features and
improvements, introduced command bars, a paradigm in which menus and toolbars were made more similar in
capability and visual design. Office 97 also featured Natural Language Systems and grammar checking. Office 97 was
the first version of Office to include the Office Assistant.
Microsoft Office 2000 (Office 9.0) introduced adaptive menus, where little-used options were hidden from the user. It
also introduced a new security feature, built around digital signatures, to diminish the threat of macro viruses. Office
2000 automatically trusts macros (written in VBA6) that were digitally signed from authors who have been previously
designated as trusted. Office 2000 is the last version to support Windows 95.
Microsoft Office XP (Office 10.0 or Office 2002) was released in conjunction with Windows XP, and was a major
upgrade with numerous enhancements and changes over Office 2000. Office XP introduced the Safe Mode feature,
which allows applications such as Outlook to boot when it might otherwise fail. Safe Mode enables Office to detect and
either repair or bypass the source of the problem, such as a corrupted registry or a faulty add-in. Smart tag is a
technology introduced with Office XP. Some smart tags operate based on user activity, such as helping with typing
errors. These smart tags are supplied with the products, and are not programmable. For developers, though, there is
the ability to create custom smart tags. In Office XP, custom smart tags could work only in Word and Excel. Microsoft
Office XP includes integrated voice command and text dictation capabilities, as well as handwriting recognition. Office
Ms – Office - 2003 97
XP is the last version to support Windows 98, ME and NT 4.0, and the first version to require Product Activation as an
anti-piracy measure.
Microsoft Office 2003 (Office 11.0) was released in 2003. It features a new logo. Two new applications made their
debut in Office 2003: Microsoft InfoPath and OneNote. It is the first version to use Windows XP style icons. Outlook
2003 provides improved functionality in many areas, including Kerberos authentication, RPC over HTTP, and Cached
Exchange Mode. The key benefit of Outlook 2003 is the improved junk mail filter. 2003 is the last Office version to
support Windows 2000.
Microsoft Office 2007 (Office 12.0) was released in 2007 and is the most current retail version. It includes Groove, a
collaborative software application. Office 2007 contains a number of new features, the most notable of which is the
entirely new graphical user interface called the Fluent User Interface (initially referred to as the Ribbon UI), replacing
the menus and toolbars that have been the cornerstone of Office since its inception with a tabbed toolbar, known as the
Ribbon. Microsoft revealed the "Ribbon" UI used on new Office versions on March 9, 2006 at CeBIT, Germany. Office
2007 requires Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3, Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 or higher, or Windows
Vista. On May 21, 2008, Microsoft announced that Office 2007 Service Pack 2 will add native support for the Open
Document Format. The EU announced it is going to investigate Microsoft Office OpenDocument Format support.
Microsoft Office 2010 (Office 14.0) was finalized on April 16, 2010. According to Microsoft, it will be made available to
enterprise customers on April 27 and consumers in June. Office 2010 has been given the version number 14.0, despite
the fact that its immediate predecessor, Microsoft Office 2007, was designated by the version number 12.0. The
skipping of version number 13.0 was due to superstition relating to the number thirteen. The Technical Preview 1
(Version: 14.0.4006.1010) was leaked on May 15, 2009. On July 13 Microsoft officially announced Office 2010 at the
WPC 09. July 13 was also the date on which a new Technical Preview leaked Version 14.0.4302.1000. On November 18,
2009, Microsoft announced (at PDC 2009) and released the Office 2010 public beta.

The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks - a network of
networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer
(and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers). The U.S. Department of Defense laid the foundation of the
Internet roughly 30 years ago with a network called ARPANET. But the general public didn't use the Internet much
until after the development of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s.
In 1957, the U.S. government formed the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), a segment of the
Department of Defense charged with ensuring U.S. leadership in science and technology with military applications. In
1969, ARPA established ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet.
ARPANET was a network that connected major computers at the University of California at Los Angeles, the
University of California at Santa Barbara, Stanford Research Institute, and the University of Utah. Within a couple of
years, several other educational and research institutions joined the network.
The World Wide Web came into being in 1991, thanks to developer Tim Berners-Lee and others at the European
Laboratory for Particle Physics, also known as Conseil European pour la Recherché Nucleure (CERN). The CERN team
created the protocol based on hypertext that makes it possible to connect content on the Web with hyperlinks. Berners-
Lee now directs the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a group of industry and university representatives that
oversees the standards of Web technology
