With Microsoft Office 2007 we can develop learning geometry at school. Microsoft Office 2007 comes SmartArt Graphic so that users can create different kinds of graphs. With SmartArt graphics tools we can create different kinds of wake geometry of dimension 2 or 3 dimensions. With SmartArt graphics devices we also can do animation in the wake as well as add text for explanation barbagai kinds of images.
By utilizing the various facilities within the Microsoft Office 2007, we can develop a medium of learning geometry in junior high. Media learning geometry in junior high
is an elaboration of the implications of Competency Standards (SK) and Basic Competence (KD) as follows. In particular, Competency Standards relating to the junior high school students geometric capabilities can be mentioned as follows:
1. Understanding the relationship line to line, line with an angle, corner angle, and
determine its size
2. Understand the concept of a rectangle and a triangle and determine its size
3. Using the Pythagorean Theorem in problem solving
4. Determining element, the circle and its size
5. Understanding the properties of the cube, beam, prism, pyramid, and their parts, and determine
measure
6. Understanding kesebangunan up flat and its use in problem solving
7. Understanding the properties of tubes, cones and spheres, and determine its size

Use of Microsoft Word 2007 software can be done easily because the software is available in all computer generation baru.Keterampilan making wake-up the foundations of geometry Microsoft Word 2007 using the facilities can be developed to make the wake-up is more complex geometries, such as wake-up 3-dimensional geometry. Skills can be improved to study aspects of geometry with a higher standard of competence, for example to determine the value of pi.

From the above description can be concluded as follows:
a. The use of Microsoft Word 2007 relatih easily done by the teacher because
This software is contained in almost every new computer generation.
b. The use of Microsoft Word 2007 will add to the motivation and pleasure in
studying geometry.
c. Students can use Microsoft Word 2007 to study the geometry of both
independently or through collaboration.
d. By using Microsoft Word 2007, students can conduct investigations or
investigation into concepts of geometry.
e. By using Microsoft Word 2007, students can perform activities
problem solving or solving mathematical problems.
f. By using Microsoft Word 2007, students can communicate hasilhasilnya
both to teachers and to another friend.
