MS WORD

Microsoft Office Word is a full-featured word processing program that

allows you to create professional-looking documents and revise them easily.
A document is a printed or electronic medium people use to
communicate with others. With Word, you can develop many types of
documents, including flyers, letters, memos, resume and reports.
Word has many features designed to simplify the production of
documents and make documents look visually appealing. Using Word, you
easily can change the shape, size and color of text.

HOW TO FORMAT TEXT

Word has various tools to help you format your document into an eye-
Page | 6
catching masterpiece. This chapter shows how to enhance the appearance,
layout, and formatting of your document.

You can type a document

and get the content done as to
how you want it but the finishing
touches can sometimes be the
most important, since an eye -
catching document will draw the
readers in, while a boring font
without a lot of extra details will
draw the readers away from
work.

To create that interest,

Microsoft Office Word can help
you change your document for a
fresher look. One of the first
elements you can change is the font attributes. Applying bold, underline, or
italics when appropriate, can emphasize text. You might even find that having
different font sizes in your document to denote various topics enhances your
document.

FORMATTING TOOLBAR

It’s not easy to find Format in Microsoft Word 2007, 2010 and 2013, as
all items from the drop-down menu of Format tab in Word
2003/XP(2002)/2000 are not gathered together. They are no longer in Word
2007/2010/2013, but disorganized into different groups on the Ribbon. For
example, Font, Change Styles and Text Direction are all listed in the group of
"Home" tab on the Ribbon, Water mark and Page Color are displayed in the
group of "Page Layout" tab on the Ribbon while Tracking, Compare and
Language are included in the group of "Review" tab on the Ribbon of Microsoft
Word 2007/2010/2013.

HOW TO FORMAT ELEMENTS OF A TEXT:

1. Increase the font size

a. Select the text you want to change.
b. In the Formatting toolbar*, type or select a font size in the Font
Size box. For example, type 12.

Page | 7
2. Change the font style
a. Select the text you want to change.
b. On the Formatting toolbar*, click a font name in the Font box.

3. Change the paragraph alignment

Alignment- is the arrangement or the orderly position of text in a

document. We align text for easy reading and for an attractive page lay-out.

Page | 8
  Left alignment- is the default setting. Text is aligned along the left margin
but is ragged and uneven along the right margin.

 Right alignment- the text is aligned along the right margin and is ragged
along the left margin.

 Center alignment- the text is centered between the left and right margins.

 Justified alignment- full lines of text are spaced between or aligned along
both the left and the right margins.

4. Highlight key paragraphs with bullets

When you create a bulleted or numbered list, you can do any of the following:

Page | 9
 Use the convenient Bullet and Numbering libraries. Use the default bullet
and numbering formats for lists, customize the lists, or select other
formats from the Bullet and Numbering libraries.

 Format bullets or numbers. Format bullets or numbers differently from

the text in a list. For example, click a number and change the number
color for the entire list, without making changes to the text in the list.

 Use pictures or symbols. Create a picture bulleted list to add visual

interest to a document or a Web page.

5. Emphasize important words

Page | 10
You can see the video on how to emphasize important words in the link given
below:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/get-to-know-word-2007-iii-make-
documents-look-great-RZ010228299.aspx?section=3

Select the text you want to call attention to, and then on the Ribbon, on the
Home tab, in the Font group, choose how to format the text. For example, click
Bold (you can do the same thing by pressing CTRL+B). This kind of
formatting is especially handy when you want to change the format of just a
few characters or words in the body of a document.

If you decide that bold doesn't look right, it's easy to undo. Immediately after
you make the text bold, on the Quick Access Toolbar at the very top of the
window, click the Undo button. Or select the text and click Bold again.

You can also change the font color to make the text stand out even more.
Select the text, and then, on the Home tab, in the Font group, point to Font
Color . Click the arrow, and move the insertion point over the colors. You
get a preview in the document of how each color will look. When you see a
color you like, click it.

HOW TO APPLY PAGE LAY-OUT:

1. Change the Margin

b. Select Margin

Page | 12
2. Change the Orientation
a. Click the Page Lay-out
b. Select Orientation

3. Change the size

a. Click the Page Lay-out
b. Select Size

Page | 13
 4. Change the Columns
a. Click the Page Lay-out
b. Select Columns

HOW TO APPLY PARAGRAPH SPACING:

Historically, word processors have been programmed to require pressing

ENTER twice in order to put a blank line between paragraphs (like the
paragraph spacing you see on this page). However, Microsoft (in its seemingly
endless crusade to change things just for the sake of change) has
programmed Word 2007 and 2010 to double-space paragraphs with just one
ENTER.

The program also adds extra white space between lines within a
paragraph, resulting in a document that might normally be a 4-page printout
becoming a 6-page printout.

This can be fixed by clicking Paragraph under Home and changing

Spacing>After from 6 pt to 0 pt and changing Line Spacing from Multiple to
Single.

HOW TO CUT, COPY AND PASTE:

• Cutting- is removing a part of the document. This procedure is also done

in moving the text to another part of the document.
• Copying- is reproducing or creating a duplicate of the same text.
• Pasting- to copy (an image, selected text, etc.) from a buffer to a file.

 Ways to cut, copy and paste the text:

1. Right-Click Cutting, Right-Click Copying, and Right-Click Pasting- using

the right-click from the mouse to cut, copy, and paste texts in the
document.

2. Toolbar Cutting, Toolbar Copying, and Toolbar Pasting- using the tools
in the standard toolbar for cutting, copying and pasting texts in the
document.
Page | 15
 3. Keyboard Cutting, Keyboard Copying, and Keyboard Pasting- using the
keyboard for cutting, copying, and pasting texts in the document.

Shortcut keys to Cut, Copy, and Paste text (using keyboard):

• Ctrl + X- in cutting text

• Ctrl + C- in copying text
• Ctrl + V- in pasting text

Exploration Activity: (Practice Activity)

Wireless Communications are everywhere. People around the world regularly

send and messages wirelessly, that is transmitted through the air. Three type
of wireless communications include wireless messaging services, wireless
internet access points, and global positioning system.
People use mobile phones; PDAs and other mobile devices to access text
messaging, instant messaging and picture messaging services.. Through text
messaging services, users send and receive short text messages which
usually consists of fewer than 300 characters. Wireless instant messaging is
an internet communication service that allows a wireless mobile device to
exchange instant messages with one or more mobile devices or online
personal computers. Users send graphics, pictures, video clips, sound files
ans short text messages with picture messaging services.
In many public locations, people connect to the internet through a wireless
internet access point using mobile computers and devices. Two types of
wireless internet access points are hot spots and 3G, 4G and LTE networks.
A hot spot is a wireless network that allows mobile users to check email,
browse the web, and access any internet service as long as their computers or
devices have appropriate wireless capability. A 3G and 4G networks which
uses cellular radio technology, enables users to connect to the internet
through mobile phone or computer equipped with Card.
A global positioning system(GPS) is a navigation system that consists of one
or more earth based receivers that accept and analyze signals sent by
satellites in order to determine the receiver’s geographic location, according to
Shelly and Cashman. A GPS receiver is a handled, mountable or embedded
device that contains an antenna, radio receiver and a processor. Many
mobile devices, such as mobile phones and PDAs have GPs capability built
into the device.
