Microsoft Word 2007 is the software that is relatively easy and always on the computer. This software allows you to write data, create reports, invitations, and can be used to make wake-up geometry. Skills make the wake-up the foundations of geometry using Microsoft Word 2007 facilities can be developed to make the wake-up is more complex geometries, such as wake-up 3-dimensional geometry. Teachers can make up the geometry of dimension 2 and 3 using SmartArt Graphic. Basic forms of geometry can be obtained by clicking the icon and then select the sub menu Insert Shapes. Geometry of dimension 2 and 3 can be colored to attract. By using Microsoft Word 2007, the teacher can explain the concept of polygon, pengubinan, tangram, triangle, square, up the space, volume, surface area up space, and transformation geometry. Skills can be improved to study aspects of geometry with a higher standard of competence, for example to determine the value of pi. Microsoft Word 2007 has many benefits such as:

1. The use of Microsoft Word 2007 adds to the motivation and pleasure in studying geometry.
2. Students can use Microsoft Word 2007 to study the geometry either independently or through collaboration.
3. By using Microsoft Word 2007, students can conduct an investigation or investigations of concepts of geometry.
4. By using Microsoft Word 2007, students can perform activities of problem solving or solving mathematical problems.
5. By using Microsoft Word 2007, students can communicate its results to both the teacher and to other friends.
