WORD PROCESSING
WHAT IS WORD PROCESSOR?
A word processor is a device or software program capable of creating, storing, and printing text
documents. It allows users to write and modify text, display it on a screen, save it electronically, and
print it out.
Word processing software is one of the most common technology tools in the world, allowing users
to create resumes and cover letters, business correspondence, blog posts, novels, and more.

WORD WRAPPING
a feature or technique used in text editors, word

automatically wrap text to the next line when it
reaches the end of a line or a specified margin
LINE SPACING
Line spacing determines the amount of vertical
space between lines of text in a paragraph
INDENTATION
The distance between text boundaries and page
margins is called indent and the process of
providing it is called indentation. There are broadly
three types of indents : Positive Indent. Negative
Indent. Hanging Indent.
PAGE ORIENTATION

displayed or printed. The two basic types of page
orientation are portrait (vertical) and landscape

SETTING UP WRITER
AND FORMATTING A DOCUMENT
SETTING UP WRITER OPTIONS
Settings chosen on the pages in the Writer section of the
Options dialog box determine how your Writer documents
look and behave while you are working on them. If the
Options dialog box is not already open, click Tools >
Options.
GENERAL OPTIOND
Writing, editing, and page layout are often easier to do when
you can see as much as possible of what is going on in your
document. You may wish to make visible such items as text,
table, and section boundaries (in Writer documents), page
breaks in Calc, and grid lines in Draw or Writer.
FORMATTING A DOCUMENT
Document formatting refers to the way a document is
laid out on the page—the way it looks and is visually
organized—and it addresses things like margins,
spacing, font size, presentation (like bold or italics),
columns, font selection, indentation, alignment, and
lists.
Readers can scan and read documents more easily and
quickly, hence document formatting is one of the most
important elements for end users.
CHRACTERS FORMATTING
Character formatting is the one which we can apply to
any individual character or to a group of characters.
PARAGRAPH FORMATTING
Paragraph formatting refers to formatting
commands that affect entire paragraphs –
settings such as indenting, bullets, line
spacing and paragraph spacing.
PARAGRAPH INDENTATION
A first-line indent signals to the reader that
a new paragraph is starting. To indent,
insert a blank space at the paragraph's
start, between the left-hand margin and the
first word of text. That blank space is the
indent.1
PARAGRAPH BORDER AND SHADING
Borders are rules you can add to any or all of the four
sides of a paragraph. Shading is the color or artistic
design you use as background for a paragraph.
Borders and shading are formatting tools for
enhancing text, paragraphs, table cells or frames.

TEXT ALIGNMENT
Text alignment is a paragraph formatting attribute
that determines the appearance of the text in a whole
paragraph. For example, in a paragraph that is left-
aligned (the most common alignment), text is aligned
with the left margin. In a paragraph that is justified,
text is aligned with both margins
