OpenOffice.org has these components:

• Writer
• Calc
• Draw
• Impress

What Does it Do?

The suite covers pretty much everything you need with a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation software, equation editor and a drawing program. It opens most major formats such as MS Office almost flawlessly (Macros aren't converted), saves to PDF* , has comprehensive help, and spellchecking in 15 languages. Having said that, let's detail some of the major features:

The Entire Suite

OpenOffice.org is a powerful yet simple environment for your work. All of the features in this section are used throughout the suite and help to give it a unique character.

• The ability to import and export many different types of documents and templates in a huge range of formats from HTML to MS Office XP. You can work seamlessly with your colleagues, school or friends, no matter what computer you use. Although we think the OpenOffice.org Open File Formats are technically superior many people are still locked into other products so you can set OpenOffice.org to use any other file format by default if you wish.
• Runs natively on almost every modern operating system except Mac OS X. This port is under development, and a volunteer porting team is working hard on it. You can give them a hand and get it running quicker by joining the project: 
• Import address books from Mozilla/ Netscape 6.x/7 or LDAP. You don't have to keep on typing in those contact details.
• Unicode support allows at least 23 localisations of OpenOffice.org. Not only will OpenOffice.org run on practically anything but it'll run in practically any language. There are more being added all the time. Even if yours isn't there yet we might be able to put you in touch will some fellow speakers to get the work done in double time. Together we work better.
• Vastly enhanced printing capabilities and options over all platforms, with extras like 'Print to PDF' under UNIX. If you want to see all that work in hard copy, OpenOffice.org will take care of it for you; or if you want to go for the 'paperless office' we can create 'digital paper' PDF files that can be read on practically anything. OpenOffice.org is all about bringing this sort of sophisticated, expensive functionality to the ordinary user.
• Autopilot guides you through creating complex document, clearly. Do you know what to do but aren't sure how to do it? Let the autopilot help. It'll ask you a few simple questions before creating a template for you to use again and again. Impress everyone with your brilliant skills, but don't let them know it was the autopilot!
• The Stylist allows you to change the entire look of your document instantly. It's that little box in the corner of the screen and it's an easy way to get a consistent look and apply formatting throughout your document. Just select some text, a cell or an object and choose a different option to move simply and easily between different styles. You can either use the built in defaults or create your own. And if it gets in your way just press F11 or click the little button near the top of your screen. You can get it back the same way or change styles in the box on the left hand side of the font selection.
• A native XML file format for small, yet powerful documents. File size is typically half that of MS Office formats. XML is the computer industry standard for data exchange. You're buying into the future and your documents will always be readable, even in a simple text editor.
• The powerful OpenOffice.org API allows you to create external functions to leverage the power of the suite just how you need it. Independent programmers can use our free software development kit (SDK) to extend the suite in ways we haven't even thought of. You can use OpenOffice.org Basic or Java and C/C++. More languages are being worked on at http://api.openoffice.org/.

OpenOffice.org Writer is at the heart of the suite. It's a sophisticated Word Processing and document layout program with all of the features mentioned above and a few more of its own.

WRITER

• Form-letter management to send letters to addresses in a database. Automate chores and make complex things easy, it's the way we've tried to design OpenOffice.org and we think it shows through here.
• Compare changes and work collaboratively using the Versions system. If you need to work on a document together, but can't be at the same computer then OpenOffice.org's powerful 'Versioning' will come in handy. It lets you see what's changed, who's changed it and accept or reject the changes either individually or with a powerful series of filters. Currently versioning information doesn't export perfectly to some other formats.
• Direct connection with external email software to seamlessly send your documents worldwide. Cut down on the number of clicks and get your work into the hands of the people who need it.

• AutoCorrect word completion speeds up your writing in a non-obtrusive and powerful way. As you're typing it makes its best guess at what you mean to say. You can accept it by pressing enter or just keep on typing to ignore. If you make a mistake at any time just press Ctrl+Z for a quick and simple undo. Now I love this but I understand that these AutoCorrect features can drive some people up the wall. So there's a flexible menu where you can choose exactly what you want on or off. You won't find AutoCorrect word completion anywhere else, it's just another optional feature that makes OpenOffice.org unique.
• Indexing functions make moving around inside a document easy. A simple bibliography database makes it easy to store sources for essays.
• Sophisticated layout manager, with extensive Desktop Publishing (DTP) functionality that allows you to display everything you want simply and clearly.

It's the spreadsheet program you've always wanted. Newcomers find it intuitive and easy to learn; professional data miners and number crunchers will appreciate the comprehensive range of advanced functions.

CALC

• You're also free to pull in data from corporate databases, and cross-tabulate, summarise, and manipulate with advanced DataPilot technology.
• Natural language formulas let you create formulas using words (e.g. "sales - costs").
• You can be your own spreadsheet expert thanks to templates with built-in functions, allowing you to concentrate on your real work.
• Scenario Manager allows "what if..." analysis at the touch of a button.
• Charting tools to visualise data in 2D or 3D.

DRAW - from a quick sketch to a complex plan, DRAW gives you the tools to communicate with graphics and diagrams. It won't organise or edit your digital photo's as well as other programs but if you need to create a diagram, picture or illustration then you'll be glad to have it.

DRAW

• FontWork allows you shape stunning 2D and 3D images from text for an extra effect.
• Quick and easy creation of complex 3D shapes. Sophisticated rendering let you create photo realistic images with your own texture, lighting effect, transparency, perspective, and so on.
• Bezier curves, for realistic smooth curves.
• Eyedropper to change any pixel colour into another
• Raster tools and effects.
• Enjoy single click access to the objects you need for your diagrams
• Arrange objects, rotate in two or three dimensions; the 3D controller puts spheres, rings, cubes, etc at your disposal.
• Smart connectors make short work of flowcharts, organisation charts, network diagrams etc
• Import and Export graphics to and from all common formats (including BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and WMF).

IMPRESS is a truly outstanding tool for creating effective multimedia presentations. Your presentations will stand out with 2D and 3D clip art, special effects animation, and high-impact drawing tools.

IMPRESS

• Exploits all the effects and graphics tools from Draw for the complete range of easy-to-use drawing and diagramming tools to spice up your presentation.
• AutoLayout makes sure your presentations look professional. Even quickly produced presentations look great, less time micromanaging bullet placement, more productivity.
• A complete range of Views are supported: Drawing / Outline / Slides / Notes / Handouts to meet all the needs of presenters and audiences.
• Slide show Animation and Effects bring your presentation to life.

Lesson 3 PC Care and Safety Procedures for Users

How to take care of your Pc


1.Computers need a good working temperature in order to work properly.They need to be placed in a cool and dry place.you can maintain good temperature with an electric fan or air conditioning.
2.All the cables and connectors must be tied together to keep them away from walk-ways to avoid accidents.
3.Refrain from eating in front of a computer.Food bits attract insects like ants and cockroaches that can penetrate the hardware and cause computer malfunction.spilled drinks,on the other hand,might cause short circuits.
4.Always use an AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator)to regulate the electricity.Too much electric voltage might cause the unit to short.Also,turn off computers during lightning as these can cause electrical surges to the computer.
5.Do not bump or drop computer peripherals or components as any damage may cause them to malfunction.
6.Avoid clutter around your computer.use soft cloth in cleaning your computer to avoid scratches.
7.Always scan for computer viruses.Internet connection and external storage devices often carry viruses that sometimes damage files and cause software malfunction.

Famous Successful Filipino Entrepreneur

1.     Henry Sy. As a child, Henry Sy used to work twelve hours a day to help his father run their small family-owned convenience store. During the Second World War, their store was looted and burned so the young Sy switched to buying whatever he could to sell for a profit. Hard times and a humble background in retail shaped and molded the young Sy. Today, he is touted by the business community as the richest man in the Philippines. With over fifty malls and stores of various sizes, the most recognized of all famous Filipino businessmen has foothold in virtually all the major cities in the Philippines. They recently even expanded to Guam and China. To date, three of the ten largest malls in the world are owned and operated by his company.

2.     Lucio Tan. Lucio Tan worked as a janitor in a cigarette factory. After a few promotions, he eventually resigned and started his own tobacco company. His tobacco company grew to capture a 60% share of the Philippine market. With its strong revenues, Tan was able to diversify. This famous Filipino businessman now owns several prominent Philippine companies, many of which are blue-chippers.  Among the top businessmen, Tan is arguably the most enigmatic.  Among his contemporaries, he is probably accessible and prefers to stay out of the limelight.

3.     John Gokongwei. Another self-made man is John Gokongwei who lost his father at the age of thirteen. He had to work hard to help support his family by selling simple products like candles, soap and thread in a small local market and was able to expand to sell more lucrative products. He did this for many years until he ventured into the profitable instant coffee business. Nescafe of Nestle was the only instant coffee readily brand readily available so he focused on developing his own brand of instant coffee – Blend 45. His company did incredibly well and generated enough profits to develop other brands. Almost all of the famous Filipino food and beverage brands Gokongwei created are now market leaders in their respective categories. He eventually made his way in the local retail industry by building and running his own chain of successful shopping malls.

Different Entrepreneurial Characteristics under PECs:
1.Vigilance for oppurtunities

Ex:
 Cheri observed that some of the High school students in New San Jose needs to go to the plaza just to make their projects,reports and some assignments that needs to be typewritten on computer shops.Because she had a capital and already ready for business,she made her own computer shop to help the high school students in their
assignments,reports and projects.
2.Commitment to work contract.

Ex:

Paolo sometimes finds it hard to finish typing job because he also has his own papers to work on.But paolo does his best finish the tasks that his classmates entrusts him.

3.Persistence

Ex:

  Because paolo is swamped with typing jobs,paolo sometimes mixes up his classmates papers and type the wrong items.Instead of losing his patience and quitting,he revises his work until  he gets things right.

4.Willingness to Take Risks.

Ex:
  Soon, paolo has saved enough money to buy a second computer.It was a lot of money for a first year student like him,but he knew that he would gain more profit from it by renting it out.

5.Demand for efficiency and quality.

Ex:Paolo practices accurate typing and improves his speed.He does this to make sure he is able to come up with the best results at the fastest time possible.

6.Goal setting.

Ex:
   Soon,many of paolo`s classmates frequent his house to take turns renting his computers. He then resolved to use all his profits to buy two or more secondhand computers in the next two months.

7. Information seeking.

   His classmates started asking him to apply for an internet connection so they wont have to rent outside to do their research.He made inquiries about the best internet service provider in his area and the most ideal package for his purposes.

8.Systematic Planning and Monitoring

Ex:
   Having acquired two more computers,he carefully planned on additional software to install in the units so that the system will not slow down.

9.Persuasion and Networking

 Ex:After installing the necessary  applications, he convinced his classmates that they will have access to all the software they will need to do their assignments.He was also able to convince them to pass the news around about his superior services.

10.Self Confidence

  Ex::
  Although there are bigger computer shops around,Paolo`s classmates still prefer to use his computers.This is because he shows total belief in the advantages of his services ocer the more expensive and impersonal shops.

PECs(Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies)

                         Economies grow because there are entrepreneurs who make new products and improve existing ones.They prosper with free enterprise,the freedom to engage in business without control by the government,which gives aspiring businessman a chance to compete.

                         Every time a new entrepreneur enters a field,new challenges come up for businesses to improve their products,thus benefiting the consumer.

                       The success of a businessperson greatly depends on a certain set of characteristics called Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies or PECs.These are the characteristics that you encountered in the previous activity.


                        In business, it is not enough to have fondness and skills for a trade.These traits must also work with other qualities to make an enterprise work.PECs represent this set of entrepreneurial characteristics ,which play a major role in the success of the entrepreneur.

Different PECs:
1.Vigilance for Opportunities.
2.Commitment to work contract.
3.Persistence.
4.Willingness to take Risks.
5.Demand for efficiency and quality.
6.Goal Setting.
7.Information Seeking.

Inventor of the Modern Computer

                                                       Konrard Zuse Z1 Circa 1939

                                                                         Konrard Zuse


                           

Konrad Zuse (1910-1995) was a construction engineer for the Henschel Aircraft Company in Berlin, Germany at the beginning of WWII. Konrad Zuse earned the semiofficial title of "inventor of the modern computer" for his series of automatic calculators, which he invented to help him with his lengthy engineering calculations. Zuse has modestly dismissed the title while praising many of the inventions of his contemporaries and successors as being equally if not more important than his own. One of the most difficult aspects of doing a large calculation with either a slide rule or a mechanical adding machine is keeping track of all intermediate results and using them, in their proper place, in later steps of the calculation. Konrad Zuse wanted to overcome that difficulty. He realized that an automatic-calculator device would require three basic elements: a control, a memory, and a calculator for the arithmetic.

                             

In 1936, Zuse made a mechanical calculator called the Z1, the first binary computer. Zuse used it to explore several groundbreaking technologies in calculator development: floating-point arithmetic, high-capacity memory and modules or relays operating on the yes/no principle. Zuse's ideas, not fully implemented in the Z1, succeeded more with each Z prototype. In 1939, Zuse completed the Z2, the first fully functioning electro-mechanical computer. Konrad Zuse completed the Z3 in 1941, with recycled materials donated by fellow university staff and students. This was the world's first electronic, fully programmable digital computer based on a binary floating-point number and switching system. Zuse used old movie film to store his programs and data for the Z3, instead of using paper tape or punched cards. Paper was in short supply in Germany during the war. According to "The Life and Work of Konrad Zuse" (by Horst Zuse) In 1941, the Z3 contained almost all of the features of a modern computer as defined by John von Neumann and his colleagues in 1946. The only exception was the ability to store the program in the memory together with the data. Konrad Zuse did not implement this feature in the Z3, because his 64-word memory was too small to support this mode of operation. Due to the fact that he wanted to calculate thousands of instructions in a meaningful order, he only used the memory to store values or numbers. The block structure of the Z3 is very similar to a modern computer. The Z3 consisted of separate units, such as a punch tape reader, control unit, floating-point arithmetic unit, and input/output devices.
