Computers Microsoft Word

This monograph could not have been produced without the expert assistance of Mr David Clarke who has spent many hours to load the necessary fonts in the computer, and for advising one of the authors (W.L.F.A.) on how to use them together with the idiosyncrasies of Microsoft Word. 

The second edition CD-ROM contains 139 validation SOPs they are made available so that customers can input them into their computers and use their Microsoft Word programs to edit and print these documents. The contents of the procedures are written in simple and precise language to be in compliance with FDA regulation GMP and GLP requirements. The book ensures minimization of the number of documents to avoid the nightmare of the head of quality assurance at the time of FDA audit. The SOPs exclusively refer to the documents specially required for compliance however, specific formats are not included to ensure that the electronic templates can be easily used by pharmaceutical, bulk pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology industries. 

The text and CD-ROM provide end users with resource data to develop and improve their quality system without spending a lot of money on consultants or reinventing the wheel. The SOPs are made available in such a form that end users can input them into their computer and use their own Microsoft Word program to edit and print these documents. The contents of the quality manuals are written in simple, precise, and global text in order to be in compliance with the elements of international standard ISO 9001 2000, which replaces the second edition of ISO 9001 1994 together with ISO 9002 (1994) and ISO 9003 (1994). 

NOTE This product requires that Microsoft Word 97 or higher be installed on your computer. 

When you create your resume on a computer, using a word processor or resume-creation software, save that document file, just as you would any other document. A traditional resume (one that is to be printed and then sent to potential employers), which you save on your computer s hard disk as a Microsoft Word document, for example, is different from an electronic (digital) resume that will be formatted differently, will take advantage of keywords, and will ultimately be e-mailed (not printed on paper and sent) to a potential employer. 

You will now be returned to the main Microsoft Word screen. The open document will be your customized resume template. You can now fill it in with content. Using the mouse or directional arrows, go through each line of the resume and type your personalized information within each section. The computer will automatically format what you type so that it fits within the resume style. 

One problem with documents kept in any system is that other people given the document will need the same application to view the document. Sending a file in Microsoft Word format requires that the recipient also own a copy of Microsoft Word. Without it, the document cannot be viewed. This problem has been solved by a new standard known as Acrobat from Adobe systems. By using Acrobat, anyone wishing to publish a document uses the Acrobat software to create a version readable by the Acrobat Reader. The reader software is freely distributed, so the recipient of a document need not buy a copy of the original software. Besides being able to create documents viewable by anyone, this new standard also allows the document to be indexed. Any part of the document can also be cross-referenced to other sections. These features are especially useful in documentation, particularly in NDA submissions. Volumes of paper documents can now be stored on a single disk and instantly cross-referenced. A reviewer could have an entire NDA available on the computer screen. 

From time to time it may be necessary to remove data or other electronic records from an on-line computer system to another durable secure location for long term off-line storage. This removal also includes the removal of the metadata associated with the record, for example, the properties of a Microsoft Word document or a series of data definition and table relationships. 

This manuscript was prepared with a Macintosh Ilci computer using Microsoft Word, version 5.1. All drawings in this book were prepared using CSC ChemDraw Plus, from Cambridge Scientific Computing, Inc., Cambridge, MA. 

A spreadsheet such as Excel can perfonn various operations on sets of items that are displayed in the form of a table. Microsoft Excel is sold as a component ofMicrosoft Office , which also includes Microsoft Word and Power Point. There are two principal competitors to Excel, called Lotus 1-2-3 and Claris Works . There is also a suite of programs similar to Microsoft Office called Open Office, which can be downloaded without cost. Our description applies to Excel 2010 using the Windows operating system. Previous versions were called Excel 2003, 2000, 1998, 4.0, 3.0, and so on, and there are some differences in the procedure with the other versions, and with a Macintosh computer. 

This resume-creation software package is available for purchase online only. Web Resume Writer is compatible with Windows 95/ 98/NT/2000/XP and is designed to make producing printed or electronic resumes easier. When using this program, you will have total control over your resume s layout, appearance, and structure. The software is powerful, yet its point-and-click interface is designed for people who aren t too computer literate. To help ensure your resume has the most impact, a spell checker and the ability to ultimately export your resume file into Microsoft Office applications (including Word) is provided. 

Traditionally data, properties, information etc has been stored in files on computer disks. More recently, it has become common practice on Macintosh computers, when using Microsoft software or some UNIX applications, to use either extensions to the file name or the first few bytes in the file (or another file) to indicate some aspects of the data, for example that it is suitable for Microsoft Excel. While this approach is practical to indicate something about files containing columns of data, it is not appropriate to store information about the values in cells in spreadsheet or how it relates to data in other columns. This requires a relational database such as ORACLE, and for performance reasons the values in the cells may only be accessed via the ORACLE API (Application Programming Interface) or SQL (Standard Query Language), in other words, it is suggested that relational databases such as ORACLE should be viewed as sophisticated file systems which allow the values to be organised, efficiently stored, rapidly retrieved etc. 

In most cases, though, users aren t satisfied to only use the tools that are provided with Windows. Either a particular tool they need isn t included (for example, Microsoft didn t put a spreadsheet application into Windows), or they need a more sophisticated version of a particular application—Wordpad and Word 2000 are both word processors, but that s about where the similarity ends. This demand has led to a booming software industry, and there are literally thousands of applications available that users can install and use with Windows. Because of this, installing and maintaining programs on user s computers is a big part of a technician s job. In order to prepare you for this task, we will discuss the following topics in this chapter ...
