Cursor Control Keys

These are Special keys on computer keyboards that move the cursor:

KEY FUNCTION

Up Arrow Key Moves the cursor one line up

Down Arrow Key Moves the cursor one line down

Left Arrow Key Moves the cursor one column left

Right Moves the cursor one column right

Arrow Key

Home Key Moves the cursor to the starting of the

current row in a document

End Key Moves the cursor to the end of the

current row in a document

PageUp Key Scrolls the document up one screenful

PageDown Key Scrolls the document down one screenful

Backspace Key Moves the cursor one column back by

deleting the contents on the previous column

Esc Key

A key on computer keyboards, usually labeled Esc. Pressing the Escape key usually cancels
or aborts the current operation.

Control Key
A Control key is a key which, when pressed in conjunction with another key, will perform a
special operation. The result of keeping the control key pressed down while pressing another chara
cter,
is a control key combination , which can have different meanings depending on which program is r
unning.For example, holding down control and pressing U, turns on underline in some word process
ors. The caret (shift6) symbol represents the control key: ^Y means control Y.

P a g e 3 | 33
Information and Learning Activity Sheet W1-8 – ICT 7

Enter Key
A key that moves the cursor (or insertion point) to the beginning of the next line, or returns
control to whatever program is currently running. After a program requests information from you (b
y displaying aprompt), it will usually not respond to your input until you have pressed the Enter or
Return key. This allows you to correct typing mistakes or to reconsider your entry before it is too late
. In many applications, pressing the Enter key moves the cursor to the next field. In graphical user
interfaces, pressing Enter activates the currently selected button or option.

Tab Key
A key on computer keyboards that inserts a tab character or moves the insertion point to the n
ext tab stop. Some applications respond to the tab key by inserting spaces up to the next tab stop. Thi
s is often called a soft tab, whereas a real tab character is called a hard tab.Spreadsheet and databa
se management applications usually respond to the Tab key by moving the cursorto the next fiel
d or cell. In dialog boxes and menus, pressing the Tab key highlights the next button or option.

Insert Key
A key on computer keyboards that turns insert mode on and off. The Insert key does not work
for all programs, but most word processors and text editors support it. It is primarily used to swit
ch between the two-text
entering modes on a personal computer or word processor. The first is over type mode, in which the
cursor, when typing, overwrites any text that is present on and after its current location. The other is
insert mode, where the cursor inserts a character at its current position, forcing all characters past it o
ne position further.

Delete Key
On computer keyboards, the delete key (sometimes shortened "Del"), should, during normal
text editing, discard the character at the cursor's position, moving all following characters one
position "back" towards the freed place.

ScrollLock Key
The behavior of this toggle key depends on the particular software in use. The scroll lock
key is intended to temporarily stop the scrolling of text or halt the operation of a program. There a
re not many software programs today that take advantage or have a use for this key.

Microsoft Excel is a good example of a software program that uses this key. If scroll lock is enabl
ed on thekeyboard when you press any of the arrow keys such as the down or up arrow keys the sc
reen will move, however the selected cell will not move. However, if scroll lock is not enabled yo
u will be able to navigate through each of the cells using the arrow keys.

P a g e 4 | 33
Information and Learning Activity Sheet W1-8 – ICT 7

NumLock Key
A key that switches the numeric keypad from numeric mode to cursor control mode, and vi
ce versa. In numeric mode, the keys represent numbers even when they are combined with the Shi
ft key, Function key, or Control key. Otherwise these combinations may have different meanings.
The Num Lock key is a toggle key, meaning that it changes the current mode. If the numeric keyp
ad is already locked in numeric mode, pressing the Num Lock key releases it.

CapsLock Key
Pressing the Caps Lock key will set a keyboard mode in which typed letters are capitalized b
y default and in lower case when the shift key is pressed; the keyboard remains in this mode until c
aps lock is pressed again. This is also a toggle key.

Pause/Break Key
A keyboard key that is pressed to stop the execution of the current program or transmission.
PrtScr Key (Pronounced PRINT screen.) A keyboard key (on most standard keyboards) that, when
pressed, sends the information displayed onscreen to the printer or to the Clipboard. The image th
en can beprinted or pasted from the Clipboard into a graphics program for manipulation and printi
ng later.

Advantages of learning to type:

Using the 10 finger-method has several advantages which improve your daily work on your computer.

1. Speed By using the 10 finger-method subconsciously you can increase your typing speed
significantly, in other words you will be saving precious time.

2. Efficiency Since you don’t have to focus on hitting single keys any longer, you can concentrate
on the texts you’re writing. You don’t have to switch back and forth anymore, your
brain gets some relief and can work more efficiently.

3. Ergonomics The permanent eye on the keyboard supports an unhealthy posture at work. Using the
10 finger-method you don’t need to glimpse at your keyboard all the time. This helps
you to sit upright and in a good position.

Basic position for typing

The basic concept of fast typing is quickly explained:

Your fingers take up a fixed starting position, from

where you can reach any key you need. Your left

fingers are placed on the keys A, S, D and F.

Your right fingers are on the keys J, K, L and ?.

Your thumbs are on the space bar.

P a g e 6 | 33
Information and Learning Activity Sheet W1-8 – ICT 7

KEYS FINGER POSITION

The home row keys are the row of keys on the computer keyboard your
Home Row keys fingers rest on when not typing. For example, on the
standard QWERTY keyboard, the home row keys for your left hand
are A, S, D, and F and your right hand are J, K, l, and ; (semicolon). For
both hands, the thumbs rest on the spacebar. By positioning your hands
correctly on the home row keys, you can memorize where all other keys
on the keyboard are located.
Top Row keys The top row keys are the ten keys found above the home row
keys on a QWERTY keyboard. The top row keys include the
Q, W, E, R, and T keys for the left hand and Y, U, I, O, and P
keys for the right hand. In the picture below, the hands are on
the home row keys and the top row keys are above the home
row keys.
Bottom Row keys The bottom row keys are the ten keys found below the home row keys on
a QWERTY keyboard. The bottom row keys include the Z, X, C, V, and
B keys for the left hand and N, M, comma, period, and forward slash keys
for the right hand.

THE MOUSE IN MICROSOFT OFFICE

A computer mouse is a hand-held pointing device

that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a
surface. This motion is typically translated into the
motion of a pointer on a display, which allows a smooth
control of the graphical user interface of a computer.

 POINT
Pointing means moving the mouse pointer over any object or area in the screen or
window.

 CLICK
A click involves the press and release of the left mouse button. Clicking is usually
done while the mouse pointer is over a clickable object such as an icon or button.

 RIGHT-CLICK
Press the right mouse button. This is usually done to open a context menu or set
of tasks associated to the object you right-clicked.

 DOUBLE-CLICK
Press the left mouse button twice on the same spot in rapid succession. This is
usually done to open or activate an object such as a program shortcut on a
desktop.

Saving a Document
Whenever you create a new document in Word, you'll need to know how to save in order to access and edit
it later. As in previous versions of Word, you can save files to your computer.

Save and Save As

Word offers two ways to save a file: Save and Save As. These options work in similar ways, with a few
important differences:

• Save: When you create or edit a document, you'll use the Save command to save your changes.
You'll use this command most of the time. When you save a file, you'll only need to choose a file name
and location the first time. After that, you can just click the Save command to save it with the same name
and location.

• Save As: You'll use this command to create a copy of a document while keeping the original.
When you use Save As, you'll need to choose a different name and/or location for the copied version.

To save a document:
It's important to save your document whenever you start a new project or make changes to an existing one.
Saving early and often can prevent your work from being lost. You'll also need to pay close attention to
where you save the document so it will be easy to find later.

P a g e 24 | 33
Information and Learning Activity Sheet W1-8 – ICT 7
1. Locate and select the Save command on the Quick Access toolbar.

2. If you're saving the file for the first time, the Save As pane will appear in Backstage view.

3. You'll then need to choose where to save the file and give it a file name. To save the document to your
computer, select Computer, and then click Browse.

4. The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you wish to save the document.

5. Enter a file name for the document, then click Save.

5. The document will be saved. You can click the Save command again to save your changes as you
modify the document.

You can also access the Save command by pressing Ctrl+S on your keyboard.

P a g e 25 | 33
Information and Learning Activity Sheet W1-8 – ICT 7

Using Save As to make a copy

If you want to save a different version of a document while keeping the original,
you can create a copy. For example, if you have a file named "Sales Report", you
could save it as "Sales Report 2" so you'll be able to edit the new file and still refer
back to the original version.
To do this, you'll click the Save As command in Backstage view. Just like when
saving a file for the first time, you'll need to choose where to save the file and give
it a new file name.

Activity 1
Directions: On your answer sheet, answer the following questions.
1. Are there any difference between Save and Save As?
2. What is the difference between a blank document and a template?

type, reorganize, and edit text. Basic tasks include the ability to add, delete, and move text, as
well as the ability to find and replace specific words or phrases.

Using the insertion point to add text

The insertion point is the blinking vertical line in your document. It indicates where you can enter
text on the page. You can use the insertion point in a variety of ways:

• Blank document: When a new blank document opens, the insertion point is located in the top
left corner of the page. If you wish, you can begin typing from this location.

Adding spaces: Press the space bar to add spaces after a word or in between text.
• New paragraph line: Press Enter on your keyboard to move the insertion point to the next
paragraph line. • Manual placement: After you've started typing, you can use the mouse to move
the insertion point to a specific place in your document. Simply click the location in the text where
you wish to place it.

P a g e 27 | 33
