Select to add the certificate that was used to sign these macros to the list of trusted sources if the security level is set to High, and you trust the macro source. If the security level is set to Medium, you can enable the macros without adding the certificate to the list of trusted sources. Don't accept macros from a source that you don't know.

The ability to add a certificate to the list of trusted sources can be disabled by your system administrator for security reasons. In this case, only certificates that were added to the list of trusted sources when your program was originally installed are trusted.


Don't accept macros from a source you don't know. A digital signature doesn't necessarily guarantee the safety of the macros in the file you are opening, and you must decide whether you trust the source that signed the macros in the file you are opening. If you are unsure about the safety of digitally signed macros, disable the macros. If you disable macros, you won't be able to run them.

attribute

An object or text feature you can manipulate by using drawing tools and menu commands. Object attributes include line style, fill, shadow, color, and shape. Text attributes include font, style, color, size, and so on.


grid

An invisible matrix  used to align objects automatically. If the grid is on as you draw or move objects, their corners align on the nearest intersection of the grid.


group

Two or more objects you treat as a single object. Groups can be composed of multiple sets of groups.


multiple selection

When two or more objects are selected. To select multiple objects, hold down SHIFT and click each object, or drag a selection rectangle around the objects. When you flip, rotate, and resize a multiple selection, all objects in the selection react independently.


picture

There are two kinds of pictures in this program: those you can ungroup and convert to objects (such as metafiles), and those you can't (such as bitmaps). After you ungroup a picture, you can manipulate it with the drawing tools. When you select a picture, the Picture toolbar appears with tools you can use to change the attributes of a picture — for example, you can crop it or adjust its brightness.


Resize handle
sizing handle

A square handle that appears at each corner and along the sides of the rectangle that surrounds a selected object. You drag a sizing handle to resize an object.


Vertex/vertexes

To insert an AutoShape, click AutoShapes on the Drawing toolbar. To attach text to an AutoShape — except to a line, connector, or freeform — click the shape and start typing. The text becomes part of the AutoShape.


bitmap

A picture made from a series of small dots that form shapes and lines. Bitmaps are created with paint programs such as Microsoft Paint, or by scanning an image. Bitmaps can't be converted to drawing objects, although they can be scaled, cropped, and recolored by using the tools on the Picture toolbar.


freeform

Any shape you draw by using the Curve, Freeform, and Scribble buttons (AutoShapes menu, Lines category) — a puffy cloud, mountains, a lightning bolt, your name in cursive, and so on. Freeforms can include straight lines and freehand curves. They can be drawn opened or closed and can be edited by using the drawing tools.


crop

To trim vertical or horizontal edges of a picture by using the cropping tool on the Picture toolbar. After you crop a picture, you can always uncrop it. Photos are often cropped to focus attention on a particular area of a picture.


selection rectangle

The box formed by sizing handles after you select an object.

data marker

A bar, area, dot, slice, or other symbol in a chart that represents a single data point or value that originates from a datasheet cell. Related data markers in a chart constitute a data series.


data label

A label that provides additional information about a data marker, which represents a single data point or value that originates from a datasheet cell. Data labels can be applied to a single data marker, an entire data series, or all data markers in a chart. Depending on the chart type, data labels can show values, names of data series or categories, percentages, or a combination of these.


data series

A group of related data points that are plotted in a chart and originate from rows or columns on a datasheet. Each data series in a chart has a unique color or pattern. You can plot one or more data series in a chart. Pie charts have only one data series.


3-D walls and floor

The areas surrounding many 3-D chart types, and give dimension and boundaries to the chart. Two walls and one floor are displayed within the plot area.


error bars

Graphic bars that express potential error (or degree of uncertainty) relative to each data marker in a series. You can add y error bars to data series in 2-D area, bar, column, line, xy (scatter), and bubble charts. XY and bubble charts can also display x error bars. Error bars can be selected and formatted as a group.


legend

A box that identifies the patterns or colors that are assigned to the data series or categories in a chart.


gridlines in charts

Lines that you can add to a chart that make it easier to view and evaluate data. Gridlines extend from the tick marks on an axis across the plot area.


tick marks and tick-mark labels

Tick marks are small lines of measurement, similar to divisions on a ruler, that intersect an axis. Tick-mark labels identify the categories, values, or series in the chart. Tick-mark labels come from cells on the datasheet that was used to create the chart.


axis

A line that borders one side of the plot area, providing a frame of reference for measurement or comparison in a chart. For most charts, data values are plotted along the value axis, which is usually vertical (the y-axis), and categories are plotted along the category axis, which is usually horizontal (the x-axis).


titles in charts

Descriptive text that is automatically aligned to an axis or centered at the top of a chart.


plot area

In a 2-D chart, the area that's bounded by the axes and includes all the data series. In a 3-D chart, the area that's bounded by the axes and includes all data series, category names, tick-mark labels, and axis titles.


chart area

The entire chart and all its elements.

replication

A process, used by the synchronization feature, that copies selected files from a Web server to your hard disk. The replication process also copies all files in the supporting folders, such as graphics, sounds, and other Web pages that are linked to by hyperlinks. This process makes it possible for you to view and modify these files when you are not connected to the Web server.


roaming user profile

A group of settings that defines customization preferences and options for a particular user, as well as personalized files such as custom dictionaries, custom templates, and AutoCorrect and AutoFormat lists. A roaming user profile is stored on a network drive. A user who has a roaming user profile can log on to any computer for which that profile is valid, and access the profile. Note that a profile is only valid on the platform for which it was created — for example, a Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 profile cannot be used on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 95.


Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

A proposed open standard that was developed by Netscape Communications for establishing a secure communications channel to prevent the interception of critical information, such as credit card numbers. The primary purpose of SSL is to enable secure electronic financial transactions on the World Wide Web, although it is designed to work with other Internet services as well. This technology, which uses public key encryption, is incorporated into Netscape Navigator and Netscape commerce servers.

ftp://ftp.server.somewhere/ftp.file

news:alt.hypertext

gopher://gopher.someones.homepage/default.htm

file:///\\server\share

file:///c:\


universal naming convention (UNC)

A naming convention for files that provides a machine-independent means of locating the file. Rather than specifying a drive letter and path, a UNC name usually includes a reference to a shared folder and file name that are accessible over a network. For example, to access a file named filename.doc on a shared directory named Samples on the computer called MyWorkstation, you could use the UNC name \\MyWorkstation\Samples\filename.doc.

UNC naming conventions are particularly useful in Web-based programs because they allow reference to data that isn't necessarily stored on a particular Web server.


user profile

A group of settings that define customization preferences and options for a particular user, as well as personalized files such as custom dictionaries, custom templates, and AutoCorrect and AutoFormat lists. For example, the customization preferences and options that are specific to a user — such as installed programs, desktop icons, and color options — are contained in a user profile. The operating system uses the information contained in your user profile to configure your computer each time you log on.


vector graphics

The representation of graphic objects — such as lines, arcs, circles, and rectangles — that use geometrical formulas. Vector graphics are different from bitmapped graphics (also called raster graphics) in which an image is stored as a collection of pixels. Vector graphics are independent graphic objects that can be manipulated more freely. For example, you can resize, stretch, and overlap vector graphics. Also, vector graphics require less memory than bitmapped graphics.


Vector Markup Language (VML)

Vector Markup Language, or VML, is a system of marking up, or tagging, two-dimensional vector graphics for publishing on the World Wide Web. Graphics that are prepared in VML usually take less time to download and require less disk space. VML graphics are scalable and editable, and you can adjust the size, position, and visual appearance of a VML graphic by using a text or visual editor.


Web Folders
Web folder

A shortcut to a Web server. When you save a file to a Web folder, the file is saved on a Web server, not on your computer's hard disk. You create Web folders by using the Add Web Folder Wizard, which is located at the root directory of Web Folders in Windows Explorer. You can also create a Web folder from the Open or Save As dialog box in any Microsoft Office program. The Web server that you save files to must have Microsoft FrontPage server extensions installed.


Places Bar

ActiveX add-in
Component Object Model (COM) add-in

A supplemental program that extends the capabilities of a Microsoft Office program by adding custom commands and specialized features. COM add-ins can be designed to load and run in one or more Office programs. COM add-ins, which use the filename extension .dll or .exe, can be implemented in any Microsoft programming product (such as Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual C++, and Microsoft Visual J++) or third-party programming product that can create COM DLLs (dynamic link libraries) and executable files.

In earlier versions of Office, program-specific add-ins were created in Visual Basic for Applications and were designed to meet the unique requirements of a specific Office program's add-in architecture. In Microsoft Office 2000, COM add-ins are created in any programming product that can create COM DLLs and executable files, and are designed to connect to and disconnect from one or more Office programs by using a new, shared add-in architecture. Office 2000 continues to support all add-in architectures that were supported by earlier versions of Office.


script
Web script

script anchor

The visual representation of a script on a Web page that you open in a Microsoft Office program. Script anchors are not displayed by default. The  [image]  script anchor represents a script written in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript). The  [image]  script anchor represents a script written in JavaScript. The  [image]  script anchor represents a script written in a scripting language other than VBScript or JavaScript.


Java applet

A small software program written in the Java language, a programming language that is used primarily on the World Wide Web. A Java applet is located within an HTML document and can be used to add to a Web page animation, music, database operations, Web page updates, and so on. Java was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. When you open a Web page that contains a Java applet in a Microsoft Office program, an icon representing the applet  [image]  appears on the page.


publish

To save a copy of a file in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format to a Web server.


digital signature

A digital stamp of identification on a macro that confirms that the macro originated from the developer who signed it, and that the macro hasn't been altered. To digitally sign macro projects and identify them as your work, you need to obtain and install a digital certificate. When you open a file or load an add-in that contains a digitally signed macro, a digital signature appears on your computer as a certificate that names the macro's source, plus additional information about the identity and integrity of that source.


digital certificate

An attachment to a macro project, used for security purposes. A digital certificate names the macro's source, plus additional information about the identity and integrity of that source. To digitally sign macro projects, you need to obtain and install a digital certificate that you can use to sign macro projects to identify them as your work.

Alef Hamzas

A single Arabic character that represents the two-character combination Alef plus Hamza. There are three forms:


Alef Lam

Analogous to the English word “the.” Can be ignored when sorting text in tables in several Microsoft Office 2000 products when enabled for right-to-left features.


bidirectional

Describes an environment in which attributes of right-to-left and left-to-right behavior are used together, such as Arabic and English text that appear in the same sentence.


complex scripts

Languages whose characters require ligation or shaping, such as the right-to-left languages (Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, and Urdu) and several Southeast Asian languages.


Context

A reading order and alignment setting that is commonly used in controls that display text. When you select the Context setting, the reading order is determined by the first strong character typed. For example, when the Context setting is selected, if the first strong character (not a numeral or special character) is English, reading order will be left-to-right and text will be left aligned.


control characters

Characters that are inserted in right-to-left and mixed text to specify the formatting of text when the inherent directionality of the text is insufficient to display expected results.


diacritics

In right-to-left languages, markings that are printed above or below vowels that specify how to pronounce the vowels.


direction

Specifies the reading order, alignment, and/or visual appearance of bidirectional text and documents, regardless of the keyboard language. For example, a paragraph in Microsoft Word with a right-to-left (RTL) direction will begin on the right side of the document and have right-to-left reading order.

Direction also describes how the user interface, controls, and other screen objects are oriented. For example, a Microsoft Excel worksheet with an RTL direction will have the “A” column positioned on the right side of the sheet with the “B” column to its left, as compared to a sheet with an LTR direction in which the “A” column is the leftmost column and the “B” column is to its right.


enabled languages

Languages that can be added for text editing in Microsoft Office 2000 programs. These languages are in addition to the installed language version of the product. Enabled languages provide additional features, commands, and resources to work in a multiple- or mixed-language environment.

For example, if you add Arabic as an enabled language to the English (U.S.) version of Office 2000, you would be able to type Arabic text in right-to-left direction in the same paragraph with left-to-right English text.


General alignment

A format that normally left aligns text and right aligns numbers. When right-to-left features are active, General alignment is extended to include Text mode (always available) and Interface mode (sometimes available).

Text mode   Aligns displayed text according to the direction of the first language-specific character. For example, if the first strong character (not a numeral or special character) is English, text is left aligned.

Interface mode   Aligns displayed characters according to the user interface language in effect. For example, when the user interface language is a left-to-right language, such as English, text is left aligned.


Gregorian calendar

The calendar in general use in Western countries. It was introduced in 1582 A.D. as a revision to the Julian calendar.


Hijri calendar

The lunar calendar used in Islamic countries.


Hindi numerals

The numeral set that is used in several Arabic countries. Also referred to as Indic numerals.

kashidas

Special characters that are used to extend the joiner between two Arabic characters. Used to improve the appearance of justified text by visually lengthening words rather than increasing the spacing between words.


keyboard language

The language selected for entering text. You change the keyboard language by clicking the language indicator on the taskbar.


language folder

The folder in which various translated files are stored. Each language has a different subfolder that corresponds to its locale identification number (LCID). For example, in a U.S. English installation, the LCID is 1033, so the folder is program files\microsoft office\office\1033\.


left-to-right

Refers to keyboard settings, document views, user interface objects, and the direction in which text is displayed. English and most other European languages are left-to-right languages.


logical

Used to describe insertion point movement and text selection when working with bidirectional text. Movement progresses within bidirectional text according to the direction of the language encountered. For example, when using the arrow keys to move through Arabic and then English text in the same sentence, the following figures show the location of the insertion point as it moves through the text in both left-to-right reading order and right-to-left reading order.


Lunar

Predominant calendar that is used in Israel among Hebrew speakers.


neutral characters

Characters that do not have strong right-to-left or left-to-right language attributes. Numerals are an example of neutral characters.


Outlook Bar

The column on the left side of the program window that includes groups such as Other or Other Shortcuts, and the shortcuts available within each group. Click a group to show the shortcuts in the group. Click a shortcut to gain quick access to folders.


reading order

The visual order in which characters, words, and groups of words are displayed. For example, English and most other European languages are displayed in left-to-right order and Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu are displayed in right-to-left order. Bidirectional (mixed) text can be assigned an overall reading order of either left to right or right to left. The following is an example of right-to-left reading order; English text added after right-to-left text is arranged to the left of the right-to-left text.


right-to-left

Refers to keyboard settings, document views, user interface objects, and the direction in which text is displayed. Arabic and Hebrew are right-to-left languages.


run

A contiguous piece of text or string of characters sharing the same attributes. All characters in a run have the same directional properties.


search page

Provides a way to find and go to other Internet sites or to documents on an intranet. Many search pages provide various ways to search, such as by topic, by keyword, or by matches to user queries. Others simply provide a well-organized list of hyperlinks to selected Internet sites or to documents on an intranet. You can open the search page from the Web toolbar in any Microsoft Office program.


start page

The first page that appears when you start a Web browser. You can set this location to any Web site that you want, or to a document on your computer's hard disk. You can open the start page from the Web toolbar in any Microsoft Office program. A start page can contain hyperlinks to other documents on your computer, on a network, or on the Web.


strong characters

The character set that makes up a particular language, such as vowels and consonants. Punctuation and special characters are not considered to be strong characters.


System

A setting for controls and other options that derives its value from the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Unicode

A standard, developed by the Unicode Consortium, that governs character encoding and provides a 16-bit extensible international character coding system for information processing that covers the world's major languages. The Unicode standard defines character encoding, and the properties and algorithms that are used in its implementation. The Unicode 2.1 standard defines encodings for approximately 40,000 characters, and work is ongoing to define encodings for additional characters.


user interface language

The language used in menus, toolbars, dialog boxes, and messages. If you have the Microsoft Office 2000 MultiLanguage Pack, you can view the user interface in languages other than the installed language of your version of Office 2000.


visual

Used to describe insertion point movement and text selection when working with bidirectional text. Movement progresses within bidirectional text by moving to the next visually adjacent character. For example, when using the arrow keys to move from right to left through Arabic and then English text in the same sentence, the insertion point moves in a right-to-left manner through the Arabic text and then continues at the rightmost character in the English word and progresses in a right-to-left manner.


Western

Used to describe the Gregorian calendar that is used predominantly in Europe and English-speaking countries.


WordArt with right-to-left features

WordArt provides right-to-left language support when Office 2000 is enabled with a right-to-left language. However, WordArt accepts text of only one language at a time. To create an effect involving bidirectional text, you must prepare a WordArt object for each language.

Note   The WordArt Character Spacing, WordArt Vertical Text, and WordArt Same Letter Heights buttons on the WordArt toolbar aren't available for right-to-left text.


Input Method Editor
Input Method Editor (IME)

A program that allows you to enter East Asian text (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, or Korean) into programs by converting your keystrokes into complex East Asian characters. The IME is treated as an alternate type of keyboard layout. Different East Asian languages require different IMEs.

East Asian versions of the operating system include one or more IMEs that support the corresponding language. All versions of Microsoft Windows 2000 include at least one IME for each East Asian language; the IMEs can be installed by double-clicking the Regional Options icon in Control Panel. IMEs can't be installed or upgraded on a system that doesn't already support IMEs in the same language that you are installing. To enter East Asian text on a system that doesn't already support an IME for the language you need, use a Global IME. Global IMEs can be installed anywhere, except on a system that has a regular IME for that language, but are not supported by all programs and their conversion capabilities might not be as advanced as standard IMEs.


Navigation mode

The mode in Microsoft Access in which an entire field is selected and the insertion point is not visible. In Navigation mode, you can move between fields by using the arrow keys.


WAV

A file format in which Windows stores sounds as waveforms. Such files have the extension .wav. Depending on the sampling frequency, on whether the sound is monaural or stereo, and on whether 8 or 16 bits are used for each sample, one minute of sound can occupy as little as 644 kilobytes or as much as 27 megabytes of storage.


Dynamic HTML

A collective term for a combination of new Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tags and options, style sheets, and programming that allows you to create Web pages that are more animated and more responsive to user interaction than you can build with HTML 3.2. Simple examples of dynamic HTML pages would include (1) having the color of a text heading change when a user passes a mouse over it or (2) allowing a user to drag an image to another place on a Web page.

Select the language that Microsoft Office will use to display menus, dialog boxes, and other elements of Office programs. To add other languages to this list, install them from the Microsoft MultiLanguage Pack for Office 2000.

Some components of Office don't support switching the language of the user interface. In most cases, you must be running a version of Windows that supports the language that you select before you can enable that language for menus and dialog boxes. For more information about multilanguage support in Office, ask the Office Assistant or see the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit.


Select the language of the Help system that is used by Microsoft Office programs. Select (same as Menus and Dialogs) from the drop-down list if you want to see Help in the same language used by Office to display menus and dialog boxes. If you change the language of Help, but don't change the language of the user interface to match, then the terms for menus and dialog boxes that are used in Help won't match the ones that you see in the user interface.

Some components of Office, such as the Office Assistant, don't support switching the language of Help. In most cases, you must be running a version of Windows that supports the language that you select before you can enable that language for Help. For more information, ask the Office Assistant or see the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit.

command bar control

A built-in or custom control on a menu bar, toolbar, menu, submenu, or shortcut menu. Custom controls you can add to command bars include buttons, edit boxes, drop-down list boxes, combo boxes, and pop-up controls (controls that display a menu or submenu).


button control

A button on a toolbar or a menu item on a menu, submenu, or shortcut menu that runs a command when it's clicked. Toolbar buttons and menu items share the same properties and methods.

On a toolbar, a button control can be displayed as an icon only, an icon and a caption, or a caption only. On a menu, a button control can be displayed either as an icon and a caption or as a caption only.


combo box control

A custom edit box, drop-down list box, or combo box on a menu bar, toolbar, menu, submenu, or shortcut menu. A custom combo box control can be displayed with or without a label. When a toolbar is docked vertically, any custom combo box controls that it contains aren't visible.

Many built-in controls, such as the Undo button, are also considered to be combo box controls; however, most properties and methods for modifying combo box controls aren't available for those built-in controls.


pop-up control

A built-in or custom control on a menu bar or toolbar that displays a menu when it's clicked; or a built-in or custom menu item on a menu, submenu, or shortcut menu that displays a submenu when the pointer is positioned over it.

Many built-in controls, such as the Font Color button, are also considered to be pop-up controls; however, most properties and methods for modifying pop-up controls aren't available for those built-in controls.
