2.0 INTRODUCTION •

Office automation software packages are in huge demand and hence, vet)' many
companies are the arena of office automation, among them Microsoft is the leader
offering MS office package, however, other office automation software's are also there
like star office, open office etc. The office automation packages are to facilitate the
execution of office related tasks in an easy manner. Generally, office related tasks
involve documentation management, presentations, mathematical calculations, Esmails,
Web sites management; and the package as a whole involves component for each of the
foresaid task, desired to facilitate the official working. Among the mentioned tasks, the
documentation part is handled by Microsoft Word which is an excellent program of MS-
Office package. Now, you might be thinking that in which language this application
program is written, undoubtedly it's a variant of our Visual Basic, called VBA i.e.,
Visual Basic Assistant. If you don't believe then after opening your word document as
mentioned in section 3.2 below, just press ALT+Fll and you will find that a Visual
Basic like environment is opened. Using VBA you can customizeyour document, to
work according to your requirements. Although this unit is about the fundamentals, and
VBA programming is out of the scope ofthis unit. But if you have interest in such tasks,
just explore the internet, the world is yours. 43
Practical - Lab Manual - 1 The.tools discussed in this unit are also small components of the programs. So, firstly
learn how to use these tools then go to the depth of designing your tools. MS Word
performs documentation related tasks such as creating, editing, formatting, managing and
protection of our documents in very simple way. In this unit you will learn the basics of
all these techniques. The end product of a creating document is usually a printed
document. Before printing from Word for the first time, you must check that your printer
setup is correct. And Word's Print Preview feature used before printing any documents,
helps in checking that all its elements are in place. All these printing options have been
explained in detail in this unit. Word is a fairly simple program to use for completing
simple tasks. It may be difficult to learn complex features of word but you should explore
the more advanced possibilities of Word at this stage.

2.1 0 B~JE4CTIVES

-----------------------------------------------------------------
2.2 WHAlT IS WORD PROCESSING?
--~--------------------- ..-----------------------------------~-
Word processor is the tool to perform different editing and formatting operations on the
text and process is called word processing. This constitutes a fundamental difference
between a typewriter and word processor. The earliest word processors were: electric
typewriters with a tape recorder that could be edited. They were first used for automatic
typing of'letters. Later, they were used to playback material that was typed correctly
when corrections were added. The "manual" way, at the time, was to have a typist type
something, have it proofread, and then retype it with corrections, hoping that no new
errors were in.troduced with the retyping. In addition to simply storing documents for
later manipulation and retrieval, modem word processing software applications offer
general features such as: spelling and grammar checks, thesaurus, word counts and
search-and-replace functions. With these, capabilities among the major word processing
packages, such as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect (Corel Corporation), and Word Pro
44 (Lotus Development Corporation).
Microsoft Word is a word processor program from Microsoft. Richard Brodie originally Word Processing

wrote it for IBM P computers running DOS in 1983. Further versions were created for
the Apple Macintosh (1984), sea UNIX, and Microsoft Windows (1989). Further it
became part of the Microsoft Office suite as Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word is an
essential and excellent tool for the creation of documents. Its ease of use has made Word
one of the most widely used word processing applications currently on the market.
Therefore, it's important to become familiar with thevarious facets of this software, since
it allows for compatibility across multiple computers as well as collaborative features.

2.3.2 Creating Documents

There are different ways for creating new documents, opening existing documents, and
saving documents in MS Word. All these are further explained in this unit. Whenever
you want to type something; you need to create a new document (or open old document),
like we take a new paper from our notebook. Lets see how can you create a new
document in word.
To create a new document do the following steps:

1) Choose File~ New from the menu bar.


OR

Just press CTRL+N on your keyboard.

When you click the New button on the Standard toolbar, you get option of creating a
document such as memo, letter, report, or resume, one can often save time by using one
of the wizards or templates that come with Word. When you will do practical from your
own, you will find that whenever a new document is open, word gives it a temporary
name "Document 1". Ifwe open another new document then it would be named
"Document 2" with the next "Document 3" and so on. The next step is to enter the text
for the document

How to close a Document?

When finished working in Word close the active document and then quit Word by
choosing Exit (Windows) from the file menu. To work on another document in Word,
close the active document by choosing Close from the file menu and then open the other
document.
Also, several documents can be open at the same time. To work in a particular
document, click anywhere in its window, 01' select the document name from the window

actually the building
IS same.

50
1) Normal View: It is the preset view in Word. It shows a simplified version of a Word Precessing

document. It's the best all-purpose view for typing, editing, and formatting text,
and tor moving around in a document.

To switch to normal view, click the Normal view button on the horizontal scroll
bar, or choose Normal from the view menu.

Normal view is preferred for most of heavy-duty text entry and editing. Normal
view keeps rcpagination and screen redraw delays to a minimum. It shows the text
as it is typed and displays graphics where they are inserted.
It does not show side-by-side column positioning, footers, headers or the printing
position of framed items. Columns are shown at their actual width, but not side-
by-side, Automatic page breaks are shown as dotted lines. Manual page breaks, if
they are defined, are shown as darker lines containing tile words Page Break, while
section breaks are double dark lines with the words end of section, and so on.

2) Print Layout View: In Normal view, you can only see the one column formatting
option which is the default. To view multiple columns on screen, you need to
switch to Page Layout view, or look at the document in Print Preview.
Page layout view displays the layout of each page in a document as it will look
when printed. The vertical and horizontal ruler allow you to see precisely where
things are positioned on the page.

Page layout view is useful when you are working with columns, or to check the
final appearance of the document, and make last minute changes to the text
formatting and layout.

In a page layout view, text and graphics are positioned where they will print.
Headers and Footers can be both seen and edited.

Page breaks, whether automatic or forced, are represented by new pages on the
screen rather than by dashed lines in the text.
.•
3) Web layout view: Web layout view is similar to above given print layout view,
only it refers to web page. It works when you are creating a Web page or a
document that is viewed on the screen. In Web layout view, you can see
backgrounds, text is wrapped to fit the window, and graphics are positioned just as
they are in a Web browser.

4), Outline View: If the document is properly formatted, switching to outline view
allows to quickly navigate and reorganize even large, complex documents. Outlline
view allows you to see the entire contents of the document, just chapter heading or
just section headings, and so on.

In outline view, you can break a document into sections to see only the main
headings or expand it to see the entire document. This view makes it easy to scroll
or-move text a long distance or to change the hierarchy of topics.

To scratch to outline view, click the outline view button on the horizontal scroll
bar, or choose outline from the view menu. 51

2.4.2 Page Setup

You should start each new project after duly thinking about the document's overall
design and final appearance. Word for windows gives you on-screen clues about how
your document will look on paper. If you give Word some basic information, such a the
pap r size and the kind of printer you will be using, it can show you line endings, page
endings, the relative size and placement of text, graphics, margins and so on. In order to
do this, Word needs some information from you, such as the paper size and the kind of
printer you will be using. The Page Setup dialog box, allows you to give Word all the
information it needs.

The Page Setup command in the file menu enables to set the paper size, page orientation
(portrait or landscape), the working of headers and footers, and similar options before
you began a document. But you can easily change these and other settings at any time.
You can also use sections and set different options for each section.

Paper Size & Page Orientation

The paper size tab in the Page Setup dialog box can be used for selecting the paper size
and the options that are available depend on the capabilities ofthe printer you selected.
To use a custom paper size, type the dimensions of the paper you want to use and also be
sure that the printer is capable of feeding the custom paper size through its printing
mechanism.

Once you specify the size of the paper on which you will print the document, Word
calculates margins by measuring in from the edges of the paper.

Page orientation can be vertical (portrait) or horizontal (Landscape).

Practical- Lab Manual - 1
To select the paper size and page orientation follow these steps:
1) Select the text you want to have a different paper size or page orientation.
2) From the File menu, choose Page Setup and then select the Paper size tab.
3) Select the paper size on which you want to print and the page orientation.
4) In the Apply To box, select how much of the document you want to print on the
elected paper size or in the selected orientation. Then click the OK button.

Also it is possible to change the default page size and orientation. Like, if you often print
on paper other than the standard letter size - 8.5xll inches or if you use landscape
orientation more frequently than portrait orientation, you can save time by changing the .
default settings. After specifying the new settings, choose the default button. When
Word asks you in case you want to change the default, choose the Yes button. Word
saves the new default settings in the template attached to the document.

Page Margins

Margins determine the distance between the text and the page of the paper. In Word, text
and graphics are normally printed inside the margins while headers, footers and page
numbers are printed in the margins.

Word gives you three ways to set margins, The most straightforward method is to use,
the Margins portion of the Page Setup dialog box, reached with the File ~ Page Setup
command.

Figure 9 : Page Setup Dialog Box Showing Margins Options

You can also drag margins using the rulers in Print Preview. This lets you see the results
58
of margin changes after a slight. repagination delay.
Word Processing
Finally, you can drag new margins with the rulers in Page Layout view. The margin
brackets are located on the ruler. Let's look at all three techniques, starting with the
dialog box.

Follow these general steps to change margins from within the Page Setup dialog box:

1) Place the insertion point on the page where you want margin settings to be. changed
(unless you plan to see the Whole Document choice).

2) Choose File -t Page Setup.

3) If need be, change paper size and orientation by using the Paper Size tab,

4) Switch to the Margins tab if it is not already displayed.

5) Current settings are shown in the various margin dimension boxes.

6) Type the dimensions you desire, or click the little triangles to increase and decrease
settings. The Preview will change as you work.

7) When satisfied, click OK.

Dimensional settings in most of Word dialog boxes can be expressed in inches (in),
points (pt), centimeters (cm), picas (pi), and, frequently lines (H). For instance, to set a
top margin's height to 12 points, you would type 12pt in the Top margin box, to set a
one-and-one half line top margin, you'd type 1.5li, etc.

While you can type other measurements, Word will convert them to the default
measurement when you close the dialog box. You change the default measurement in the
General tab of the Options dialog box (Tools -t Options).

Mirror Margins

Select the Mirror Margins feature in the Margins tab of the Page Setup dialog box (File
-t Page Setup) when you want different left and right margin widths and your final
output will be two-sided. Word makes inside margins of odd and even numbered pages
the same size; and does the same with the outside margins of odd and even pages. This is
how you get white space on the appropriate side of even and odd, two-sided pages.
When adjusting margins in Print Preview, if you've chosen the Mirror Odd/Even feature,
display two pages in Print Preview so that you can see the different margins.

Gutters position

Gutter margins-additional white space in the inside margins-compensate for the paper
tucked away in the binding of a two-sided book that would be unreadable. The gutter
width, which you specify in the Margin tab of the Page Setup dialog box {File -t Page
Setup), reduces the text area. Instead of using gutters, you might simply want to increase
the size of the inside margins to accommodate binding.

Figure 10 : Print Dialog Box and Printing Options

While printing a document, you can:

1) Print the entire document or only specific pages.

2) Print summary information, annotations or list of styles? AutoText entries or key


assignments .

3) Print a draft copy, which omits graphics to allow faster printing.

4) Set printing options, such as number of copies.

You can also automatically create and print an envelope, using an address from a
document or one that you type. You can either print directly on an envelope or store the
~....
information so that you can print the envelope later.

The printer you can use affect the way Word prints and displays text on the screen.
Before you print a document, you must install and select the printer you intend to use to
print the document.

Word displays a document as it will look when you print it. If you want to preview a
document before you print it, use page layout view or print preview. In each of these
views, you can make last minute changes to text formatting, page breaks and margins.
60
Word Processing
Line breaks and page breaks should be the same on the screen and in the printed
document. However, the fonts and view options you choose can affect the match
between what you see on the screen and what appears on the printed page.

Three kinds offonts affect your work in Word: Scalable fonts, Printer fonts and Screen
fonts.

Use Scalable fonts, such as True Type fonts to ensure that what you see on the screen is
what appears on the printed page.

For using printer fonts, you must have a corresponding screen font and font size to
display each font on the screen. If each screen font you use has a matching printer font,
the screen display of the document will closely match the printed document.
The three basic steps for printing a document are:

1) Connecting the Printer: Connect the printer either directly to your computer or to a
network.

2) Selecting the Printer: Choose Print from the file menu then choose the Printer
button and select the printer you want to use.

3) Print Preview and Printing: Click the Print button on the .Standard toolbar. In
Windows, Word prints one copy of the active document using the word default print
settings. But it is better to check the preview of document before giving the print
command. You can see the Preview of your document by clicking the Print Preview
button on the standard toolbar or by selecting File~ Print Preview. When the
document is ready to print, click the Print button from the Print Preview screen or
select File~ Print.

2.4.4 Paragraph Options

In Word, a paragraph is any amount of text, graphics, object or other items that are
followed by a paragraph mark. A paragraph mark is inserted each time while pressing
the ENTER key. In order to change the formatting of a paragraph, select the paragraph
and then apply the formats you apply. Paragraph formats affect the entire paragraph and
new paragraphs keep the formatting of the preceding paragraph. Paragraph marks store
the format of each paragraph. if the paragraph mark is deleted, the text in that paragraph
~.~comespart of the next paragraph.

10 insert a new line mark, press Shift +.J which pushes the text down to the next line,
but does not create a new paragraph. To modify the appearance of paragraphs, use the
ruler, the formatting toolb~ and the Paragraph Dialog Box or one of Word's paragraph
formatting shortcut key combinations. The various ways in which the Paragraph
. formatting can be done is described in the following subsections:

Figure 11 : Components of Paragraph Dialog Box

Centering, Right Alignment and Left Alignment

By default, the text in Word is left aligned. But these alignments can be changed.
Indenting a paragraph enables it to set off from other text.

• To indent paragraphs automatically, drag the top half of the triangular indent marker
to the right to the desired position. Alternatively, you can select Format ~
Paragraph and enter a setting in the first line Indent box in the Paragraph dialog box.

• To increase or decrease indents by one Tab stop, use the Increase Indent and
Decrease Indent button on the formatting tool bar.

• To create a hanging indent (an indent that sticks out beyond the paragraph), drag the
top half of the triangular indent marker to the left to the desired position. You can
also select Format ~ Paragraph and enter a setting for the first line indent box in the
paragraph dialog box that is farther left than the indent of the paragraph as a whole.

Notice the difference between left and right margin and the paragraph indentations.
The margins establish the overall width of the main text area and the space between the
main text area and the edges of the page.
62
Word Procealng
Left and right indents are measured from the left and right margins, respectively. The
first line indent is measured relative to the left indent. The negative left-indent
measurement for the text appears when the text runs into the left margin.

Tab Stops

By default, the Tab Stops are set at O.5-inch intervals from the left margin. The insertion
point can be moved to the next tab stop in the current paragraph by pressing the TAB
key.
Use the ruler to set a tab stop at a particular position or to change the way text lines up at
a tab stop.

To set tab stops

1) Select the paragraph in which you want to set or change tab stops.
2) To set or change the tab alignment, click the Tab Alignment button at the far left of
the horizontal ruler until the tab alignment is the way you want it to be.

. Figure 12 : Tab Dialog Box 63
Practical - Lab Manual - 1 To move a tab stop, point to the tab marker and drag it to a new position. To clear a tab
stop, drag the tab marker off the ruler.
The spacing between the default Tab Stops can also be changed but this will affect only
the active document.

To do this, type or select the distance you want between the tab stops in the Default Tab
Stops box and then click the OK button.

Line Spacing

Line Spacing determines the height of each line of text in the paragraph. The default
(single line spacing) depends on the size of the font characters. Individual line spacing is
easy to change.

The indents and spacing tab of the Paragraph dialog box provides a drop-down for simple
but effective control of the space between lines under most circumstances. The preview
area demonstrates the relative effect of single, one-and-a half and double line spacing.
Single spacing causes 12~point line spacing, 1~ line spacing is 18 points and double
spaced lines will be 24 points apart.

All these line spacing settings can be made by choosing the appropriate options from the
Line spacing menu in the Paragraph dialog box.

When we are working with paragraphs word provides special toolbar for formatting a
paragraph you can also select it from Format-s Paragraph from thc menu bar, when you
select it the following figure will appear having following figure as given in figure:
When you use these choices, Word will compensate for graphics, superscript and large or
small type sizes.

Paragraph Spacing

Word enables each paragraph to give unique before and after spacing if you wish. The
spacing settings can be in points (pt), inches (in), centimeters (cm) or lines (li),
One advantage of adding space this way is that the spacing before and after paragraphs
does not change the point size of your text. Another advantage is that you can use
different spacing combinations for different purposes.

Headings often have different spacing requirements for body text. For instance, you may
require different before and after spacing designs for figures and figure captions as well.
Also you can have unique spacing specifications as part of a style, making it easy to keep
the look of your documents consistent.

The Paragraph command on the format menu can be used to add space before and/or the
' •• ' I

paragraph. The other advantages of using the Paragraph command are:


64
1) You can make precise adjustments to the spacing between the various text elements. Word Processing

For example, you can use paragraph spacing to clarify the relationship between
headings and body text.
2) If the paragraph is moved or deleted, its spacing goes with it. The paragraph doesn't
leave behind extra blank lines.
3) If you include spacing in the paragraph styles you use to format text, Word adds the
space along with the other formatting. You need not add blank lines manually.

Borders & Shading

a
You can add borders, to any side of paragraph, and you can add background shading
using Format-s Borders and Shading as shown in the figure 13. Yo~ can also add borders
and shading to ordinary text and to the paragraphs in table cells and frames .

Spell check is one of the powerful features of MS-Word. It also provides to check the
spellings of the entire document including the header, footer and the hidden text. Adding
words to the dictionary is possible. The Spelling Check provides a convenient way of
correcting spelling mistakes at your documents. It compares the words in your document
against its own dictionary. You should always check your documents with the Spelling
68 Checker before you print them. To use the spelling and grammar checker, follow these
Word Processing
steps. Select Tools-7SpelIing and Grammar from the menu bar. The Spelling and
Grammar dialog box will notify you of the first mistake in the document and misspelled
words will be highlighted in red.

When the Spelling Checker locates a word it cannot find in the dictionary it stops,
highlights the offending word, and display it on the "Not in Dictionary" line.

You have the option to:

Ignore its selection;

Manually type in a correction to the word;

Replace the word with a suggested word;

Add the word to the dictionary.

The" Suggestions" box lists possible alternatives to the word. If it cannot find a close
match this box will be empty. To retain the word, choose Ignore and to ignore the
change at all its occurrences in the document Choose Ignore All. To change the word,
choose Change and to change the word at all its occurrences in the document choose
Change All. To add the current selected word into the dictionary, choose the Add
button.

You have the choice to add the word to the default Word custom dictionary, or a new
custom dictionary that you create.

During a grammar check, Word identifies sentences that contain possible grammatical or
stylistic errors and suggests improvements. For example, if you wrote "The project were
completed by your team," Word could question the grammar, first for subject-verb
agreement and then for passive voice. Word also question style errors, such as wordiness
and the use of cliches.
69
Practical- Lab Manual - 1 As long as the Check Grammar box is checked in the Spelling and Grammar dialog
box, Word will check the granunar of the document in addition to the spelling. Follow

2.5 PAGE DESIGN AND DOCUMENT


MANAGEMENT

This section covers few advanced topic of WORD. To make your document more
effective and impressive you would like to add few images, table or graphs in your
document. In this section you can get procedures for creating header, footer, table etc.

2.5.1 Header and Footers

Headers and Footers are places to put repetitive information in a document's top and
bottom margins-headers print at the top, footers at the bottom. You can use headers and
footers to print something simple on each page, such-as you name, or something
complex, such as a graphic. Stylized text, dates .and automatic page numbering can all be
included in headers and footers.
Pracrlcal- Lab Manual - 1 You can use identical headers and footers on all pages in your document, or you can
specify different contents for each section of the document. Odd and even pages can
have different designs if you wish. The first page of each document of each section can
be unique.

Once headers and footers have been added to a document, it is possible to see and edit
them in Page Layout view. They are also displayed in Print Preview, but when you
attempt to open a header or footer in Normal view or Print Preview, Word switches you
to Page Layout view and displays the Header and Footer toolbar.

Crellnng Basic Headers and Footers

To enter a header that repeats on all pages in your document:

1) Choose View -+ Header and Footer or double-click in the header area of the first
page to be modified in Page Layout view or Print Preview.
2) Word will switch to Page Layout view if it is not already there and display the
Header and Footer tool bar.

3) Create and edit header text as you would do in <my other text. You can paste
graphics, apply styles, and otherwise format your work normally.

4) Use the automatic page-number, time-stamping, and date-stamping features


described later in this chapter.

5) Double-click in the main document to return to work there.

3.5.3 Creating Tables

Word's Tables feature, enables you to arrange columns of numbers and text in a
document without using tabs. It helps you to organize complex columnar information.
Tables also provide a convenient way to present text in side-by-side paragraphs as in a
resume, or to arrange text beside graphics. You can use them to create such diverse
documents as forms, television scripts, financial reports, parts catalog, and resumes. You
can insert tables anywhere you need those in Word documents. Word's table feature and
the terminology used to describe it, reminds you of a spreadsheet.

Word tables consist of horizontal rows and vertical columns. You do the typing in areas
called cells. Cells can contain text, numbers, or graphics. The text in cells is edited and
embellished as usual with Word's formatting toolbar and ruler.
75
Practical - Lab Manual - 1

---------------'--------------'
Figure 25 : Table having 2 Columns and 4 Rows.

A number of table specific features let you control the size, shape, and appearance of
cells. Border and Shading features are available. It is also easy to insert and delete rows
and columns,

They can be created from existing text without needless retyping. Also the table feature
can be used to organize information and then convert your table to text.
Tables are used to display data and there are several ways to build them in Word. Begin
by placing the cursor where you want the table to appear in the document and choose one
of the following methods:

Insert a Table

There are two ways to add a table to the document using the Insert feature:
Click the Insert Table button on the standard toolbar. Drag the mouse along the grid,
highlighting the number of rows and columns for the table.

Word Processing
Entering and Editing Text in a Table

You navigate, enter and edit table text just as you do any other Word text. The mouse or
arrow keys are used to position the insertion point. 'The cells are thought of as miniature
pages and the cell borders as margins. Type the text normally within these cells and
Word will automatically wrap text within the cell as you reach the right edge Rows will
automatically grow taller as necessary to accommodate your typing .

.
To move from cell to cell within a table, either use the Tab key to go forward and
Shift+Tab to go backward.
Pressing Tab in the rightmost column will move down the insertion point to the
beginning of the next row and pressing Shift+Tab past the leftmost column will move
the insertion point to the end of the previous row,

The familiar character formatting tool bar, ruler and menu features work in the same
manner to all or selected characters in a table,

A cell can contain more than one paragraph. Paragraph creation is done in the usual way
and Word's paragraph format apply to paragraphs in cells,

Within a cell, you can have several different indent settings, line-spacing specifications
styles, etc.

2.6 MAIL MERGE

Word's Mail Merge feature is a quick and easy way for mass-producing form letters,
envelopes, mailing labels, phone lists etc. By using Mail Merge, you can send the same
letter to a number of people, without typing the original letter more than once. Word's
Mail Merge feature lets you quickly create personalized correspondence and other
documents by combining information (merging) information from two different files.
Mail Merge feature can also be used to prepare other kinds of merged documents such as
catalogs, parts lists, directory lists forms or invoices, print addresses on envelopes and
mailing labels.

2·.6.1 Data Sources and Main Documents

Data Sources are organized collections of information - databases-stored as Word tables,


Word can also, use data from other applications such as MS Excel or MS Access. After
opening a data source in another application, make sure that the merge fields in your
document match those in the data source. All data sources, no matter where they come
from, contain records and fields. For example, an employee data source would contain
one record for each employee. This record would contain multiples fields - one for the
employee's first name, one for the middle initial, one for the last name, one for each part
of the address and so on. The data source contains the information that can vary in each
version of a form letter, such as the names and addresses. You can either open an existing
data source or create a new one in Word.

77
Pracrtcal- Lab Manual - 1
Main documents as mentioned earlier contain the text of your project (the body of a
letter), fields, and merge instructions. Main Documents can be used from earlier versions
of Word 01' from other Applications. While using the Main document from other
applications, open that documents in Word 6 and convert its contents to Word for
Windows. However, field names and formatting from some applications may not
translate well into Word for Windows format, Check the fields in your main document
and adjust them ifnecessary before completing the merge or you can paste the main
document into Word for Windows as plain text, then apply the formatting and centering
the field names.

2.6.2 Starting & Editing the Main Document

Creating a merge main document, such as form letter, is a three-step process, as given in
the Figure: 27 below.

Step 1: To set up the main document, which contains the text, punctuation, and other
items that remain the same in each version of the form letter.

Step 2: To set up a data source, which contains the information that varies in each
version. This can be done either by opening an existing data source or creating a new
one.

Step 3: To complete the main document by inserting merge fields and by typing or
adding information you want to be the same in each form letter, such as the body of the
letter, your address and your logs .
