II-S COMPUTER – II

In Microsoft office ...

Status Bar
A status bar, similar to a status line, is an information area typically found at the bottom
ofwindows in a graphical user interface.[1] A status bar is sometimes divided into sections, each of
which shows different information. Its job is primarily to display information about the current state of
its window, although some status bars have extra functionality. For example, many web
browsers have clickable sections that pop up a display of security or privacy information.

Tool Bar
In a graphical user interface on a computer monitor a toolbar is a GUI widget on which onscreen
buttons, icons, menus or other input or output elements are placed. Toolbars are seen in office
suites,graphics editors and web browsers. Toolbars are usually distinguished from palettes by their
integration into the edges of the screen or larger windows, which results in wasted space if too many
underpopulated bars are stacked atop each other (especially horizontal bars on a landscape oriented
display) or interface inefficiency if overloaded bars are placed on small windows

Menu Bar
A menu bar is a region of a screen or application interface where drop down menus are
displayed. The menu bar's purpose is to supply a common housing for window- or application-specific
menus which provide access to such functions as opening files, interacting with an application, or
displaying help documentation or manuals. Menu bars are typically present in graphical user
interfaces that display documents and representations of files in windows and windowing systems but
menus can be used as well in command line interface programs like text editors or filemanagers
where drop-down menu is activated with shortcut key or combination.

Scroll Bar

A scrollbar (Also known as a handle in the very first GUIs) is a graphical object in a graphical
user interface (GUI) with which continuous text, pictures or anything else can be scrolled including
time in video applications, i.e., viewed even if it does not fit into the space in a computer
display, window, or viewport.
Quick Access Tool Bar
The Quick Access toolbar, which sits in the title bar, serves as a repository of most used
functions, regardless of which application is being used, such as save, undo/redo and print.
The Quick Access toolbar is customizable, although this feature is limited compared to toolbars in
previous Office versions. Any command available in the entire Office application can be added to
the Quick Access toolbar, including commands not available in the Ribbon and macros. Keyboard
shortcuts for any of the commands on the toolbar are also fully customizable, similar to previous
Office versions.

Title Bar
In computing, the title bar (or titlebar) consists of that part of a window where the title of the
window appears. Most graphical operating systems and window managers position the title bar at the
top of the application window as a horizontal bar.
Tabs
Several tab characters are included as ASCII control characters, used for text alignment. The most
known and common tab is a horizontal tab (HT), which in ASCII has the decimal character code of 9,
and may be referred to as control+I or ^I. A vertical tab (VT) also exists and has ASCII decimal
character code 11 (control+K or ^K). The EBCDIC code for HT is 5. The VT is 11 or hex 0B, the same
as ASCII. The horizontal tab is usually generated by the tab key on a standard keyboard.

Dialog Box
In a graphical user interface (GUI, pronounced "GOO-ee"), such as used by Microsoft's
"Windows" or Apple's "Mac OS" operating systems, adialog box (or dialogue box) is a type
of window used to enable reciprocal communication or "dialog" between a computer and its user. It
may communicate information to the user, prompt the user for a response, or both. A dialog box is
most often used to provide the user with the means for specifying how to implement a command, or
to respond to a question or an "alert" (see below).
