Office Software For Vista

View:

If you are developing a text editing application or Web applet, an office application or a database, you need very specific graphics for your project. Common office tasks and operations such as printing, faxing, saving and editing documents, as well as various types of file formats such as a Word icon to represent DOC files must have their own icons to be easily recognized.

Getting custom-made icons or employing a designer to design icons in-house can postpone deadlines and contribute to the final cost of the product significantly. While developers of large software suites such as Microsoft Office can afford a set of custom-made icons without hesitation, smaller developers or those making simple text editors or custom-made databases are affected by both costs and delays in ordering or making icons in-house. However, it is easy to save if you use royalty-free stock icons.

Stock icons are instantly available, and their cost is negligible in the final price of the product. Typically, the costs are about a dollar per icon. Wide selection of ready-made office icons makes it possible for everyone to select exactly the icon set to match a particular application.

Perfect Office Icons by Perfect Icons perfect-icons.com is a set of 43 icons representing objects, symbols and actions typical to many office products. Text editors and databases, online document sharing and collaboration services, Web-based applets and applications for PDAs can be enhanced with Perfect Office Icons. The office icon set includes images for New Document, Open and Save, Cut, Copy and Paste, Folder icon and Open/Close Folder icons, Text file and Microsoft Word icon file, Send and Receive Mail, Page Number, Figures, SmartArt, Bookmark, Table and Diagram, and many more useful office icons. Change icons in your office application for a better set!

The entire package of office icons costs less than $50, and contains numerous variations for every image. All office icons are available in 16x16, 20x20, 24x24, 32x32, and 48x48 pixel resolutions, and come in 256 colors and True Color.

Moving to a Paperless Office

First, engage in a reality check. You cannot really have a completely paperless office, considering people's preference to do certain kinds of work on paper and the legal implications of eliminating paper. For example, some courts may not accept digital documents as acceptable evidence.

What you can do is to minimize the use of paper. This has several benefits including speeding up business processes, improving the security of documents, and reducing the heavy costs incidental to storing large volumes of paper documents.

So how do you minimize paper documents? The following are some measures you can take:

Scan all paper documents and OCR and index them into the electronic workflow. You can then shred most of the paper documents, provided systems are in place to authenticate the digital documents.

Record data online directly into the system instead of recording them on paper and then transferring to the computer. Using POS (point-of-sale) terminals and handheld devices in the field are examples of ways you can do this.

Automate data recording through the use of electronic sensors, such as barcode readers, production line counters, and instruments for measuring temperatures etc. The data captured can also be transmitted to the main system automatically.

Integrate vendor and customer systems by providing interfaces that allow purchase and sales transactions to take place online, instead of through paper documents.

Implement a content management system that accepts data from geographically spread-out offices and also provides access to the content from all these offices. Information can then be accessed online from anywhere with an Internet connection.

Implement systems and practices that will authenticate the digital documents in a manner acceptable to courts of law, so that you can shred most of the paper documents after scanning.

Paperless Office Software Needed to Accomplish the Above

Various equipment mentioned above, such as scanners, POS terminals, handheld devices, and electronic sensors are handled by relevant software that controls their operations. The equipment by themselves can do little. These software packages come with differing capabilities and you have to select those with the capabilities that you need.

The other software you need include:

OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert the images of text characters in the scanned documents into computer readable formats such as ASCII

Search-engine software that indexes and helps retrieve documents

SCM (supply chain management) and CRM (customer relationship management) software that provide interfaces with supplier and customer systems, and automates transactions

Content management system that can provide a single interface to all the content from globally spread-out locations

Control and audit systems that provide audit trails and otherwise help authenticate all digital documents

It's the package of specific software tools above that constitutes paperless office software.
