Otto Vollnhals · Medical Entomology and Zoology · 1986
Word processing has become one of the fastest-growing and most important fields of application of computer technology. Its rapid advance has been accompanied by an equally swift development of specialized terminology. Therefore, following on from his Dictionary of Personal and Office Computing, Otto Vollnhals has compiled this extensive three-language work, the result of several years of extensive reading of relevant original sources and of extracting from these the terminologically significant material. And, thanks to the use of modern word-processing technology, the content has been kept current reflecting the state-of-the-art at the moment of going to press. The areas covered include: Hardware: storage devices and media - peripheral devices - printers - terminals - display devices - office communication equipment - keyboards - other basic equipment - accessories - electronic office equipment. Software: operating systems - word processing software - special WP functions - database software - text editors. Applications: word processing - office automation - office communication - information retrieval - editing - printing - typesetting - business graphics - data transmission. Allied fields: telematics - communications technology - videotex - information networks - graphics - typography - management information. Translators, micro-computer manufacturers, vendors, buyers and users of office automation equipment, and microcomputer users should find this dictionary a useful, reference work.
