2. PRESENTATION

Depending on the objective, a company will use text editors (such as Notepad) or word processors. The
difference is that the editor works only with plain text, without the possibility of incorporating
formatting, headers or images. One of the best current editors for Windows environments is Notepad+
+, which also has the advantage of being free software. In Linux operating systems there is a much
wider variety of editors, almost all of them equally powerful

A word processor is an application that allows you to create, modify, store and print any type of
writing, quickly and easily. It is one of the most used applications in the working world to prepare
commercial writing and design all types of documents. The best-known word processors are Office
Word, WordPad, Lotus WordPro and OpenOffice.org Writer.

As an apprentice and future systems technician, you should know that a word processor is usually used
to prepare, edit and format text in the documents produced by the company; in addition to other
complementary functions such as creating graphics, using dictionaries, spelling correction, creating
formulas, managing large documents, arithmetic functions, etc.-

Create the first document in Word

Word offers a series of tools to customize the formatting of documents, but it also incorporates the
concepts of themes and styles to simplify the application of a given format.

The format is the set of characteristics of the text that give it a certain appearance. It is a very broad
concept that ranges from the font to the spacing between lines, including the colors used or the width of
the margins. The format determines the final presentation of the text, which can be formal, striking or
elegant, depending on our needs. Before starting, remember that each process has its procedure to apply
it in your work and for this you can consult video tutorials or specialized pages, one of these video tutorial
pages is: tutorial and its video tutorial page on YouTube: Video

as you want. To create a template, you can start with a document that you have already created or
downloaded, or with a new document that you decide to customize however you want. Create a Word
template using the parameters established in the APA standards for the presentation of work. This
template must later be used to present your work and for this you must consult the current APA standards
and create your own template.

with APA standards, which must be uploaded at the link determined by the virtual instructor. This
activity has a duration of 5 hours

information and generates all individual documents. At this point the apprentice must create an invitation
letter to a business event where a new product or service will be presented. Remember to include the
following points in your letter:
