Word ProcessingWord Processing. Using a computer to create, edit, and print documents. Of all computer applications, word processing is the most common. To perform word processing, you need a computer, a special program called a word processor, and a printer. A word processor enables you to create a document, store it electronically on a disk, display it on a screen, modify it by entering commands and characters from the keyboard, and print it on a printer.

Word processing is one of the most widely used applications installed on the computer for the purpose of writing, editing and creating certain reports or documents. It had been providing the users with many benefits and this is found to be one of the most famous computer applications which are used by the people on regular basis. Different sort of functions can also be performed in the word processing unit. For the working of the word processing it must be ensured by the users that they have the word processor installed in the computer, where they would be able to write the text and apart from this the computer is another important thing that must be possessed by the users. In most of the cases in word processing the users can also use a printer as well for the purpose of taking the prints so that the entire document that had been created can be easily read by the user.

On the other hand the document which had been created with the help of the word processor can be easily saved on the hard disk of the computer and unless and until it is removed, till then it can’t be removed at all. The user can give his own desired name to the document which had been created and for this certain commands in the form of text needs to be entered by the user, so that it can be used further. It had also been found out that the word processing unit is providing the user with many advantages as well. The first advantage is that the user can easily make changes in the entire document that

had been created and those changes can either be regarding the addition of the deletion of the text. On the whole word processing is used by people on a greater scale. (Source:http://www.freetechexams.com/computers-tips/computer-tips/word-processing.html)

Word Processing Compared to Using a Typewriter

The great advantage of word processing over using a typewriter is that you can make changes without retyping the entire document. If you make a typing mistake, you simply back up the cursor and correct your mistake. If you want to delete a paragraph, you simply remove it, without leaving a trace. It is equally easy to insert a word, sentence, or paragraph in the middle of a document. Word processors also make it easy to move sections of text from one place to another within a document, or between documents. When you have made all the changes you want, you can send the file to a printer to get a hard copy.

Word processors vary considerably, but all word processors support the following basic features:

Insert Text: llows you to insert text anywhere in the document.

Delete Text: Allows you to erase characters, words, lines, or pages as easily as you can cross them out on paper.

Cut and Paste: Allows you to remove (cut) a section of text from one place in a document and insert (paste) it somewhere else.

Copy: Allows you to duplicate a section of text.

Page Size and Margins:Allows you to define various page sizes and margins, and the word processor will automatically readjust the text so that it fits.

Search and Replace: Allows you to direct the word processor to search for a particular word or phrase. You can also direct the word processor to replaceone group of characters with another everywhere that the first group appears.

Word Wrap: The word processor automatically moves to the next line when you have filled one line with text,

and it will readjust text if you change the margins.

Print: Allows you to send a document to a printer to get hardcopy.

Features of Standard Word Processors

Word processors that support only these features (and maybe a few others) are called text editors. Most word processors, however, support additional features that enable you to manipulate and format documents in more sophisticated ways. These more advanced word processors are sometimes called full-featured word processors.Full-featured word processors usually support the following features:

File Management: Many word processors contain file management capabilities that allow you to create, delete, move, and search for files.

FontSpecifications: Allows you to change fonts within a document. For example, you can specify bold, italics, and underlining. Most word processors also let you change the font size and even the typeface.

Footnotes and Cross-References: Automates the numbering and placement of footnotes and enables you to easily cross-reference other sections of the document.

Graphics: Allows you to embed illustrations and graphs into a document. Some word processors let you create the illustrations within the word processor; others let you insert an illustration produced by a different program.

Headers, Footers, and Page Numbering: Allows you to specify customized headers and footers that the word processor will put at the top and bottom of every page. The word processor automatically keeps track of page numbers so that the correct number appears on each page.

Layout: Allows you to specify different margins within a single document and to specify various methods for indenting paragraphs.

Macros: A macro is a character or word that represents a series of keystrokes. The keystrokes can represent text or commands. The ability to define macros allows you to save yourself a lot of time by replacing common combinations of keystrokes.

8. Click the Save icon, navigate to the folder where you saved your first activity, type the filename using the same file naming scheme (e.g., Jack03) on the File Name textbox, and click the Save button.

Activity 4: Inserting a Formula on a Table.1. Open the Microsoft Office Word.2. Open your Activity 2 file (e.g., Jack02) by clicking on the File tab, clicking on Open, navigating to

the folder you created in Activity 1, clicking on your Activity 2 file, and clicking the OK button. You can also open your Activity 2 file by simply opening the File Explorer, navigating to your folder first and double-clicking on your Activity 2 file.

3. With you Activity 2 loaded on the text area of Microsoft Office Word window, click on the first cell along the Average column to activate Layout tab on the menu bar. Click on it.

4. As you click the Formula icon, the Formula window will pop up as shown.

5. Because we need to compute the average of the columns left of the Average column, we have to replace the SUM with the AVERAGE on the Formula textbox

6. Click list box button on the Number format textbox, choose 0.00 format, and click the OK button.

7. Do this with the remainder of the cells along the Average column by clicking on each cell along the Average column and pressing Ctrl-Y (Redo/Repeat).

8. Scroll down to the last row of the table, highlight and right-click on it.9. On a pop-up menu, point to Insert and choose Insert Rows Below.

10. On the first column along that newly inserted row, type Average. Center its alignment and emphasized its face.

11. Along the same line, click on the Prelim column to activate again the Layout tab.12. Click the Formula icon and on the Formula window, type =AVERAGE(ABOVE) on the Formula

textbox, select the 0.00 format on the Number format textbox.

13. Do the same on the Midterm, Pre-Final, Final and Average cells using Ctrl-Y (Repeat/Redo).14. Along that same row, point the mouse pointer left of the Left margin and click. This will highlight

the entire row.15. If the Shading icon is available on the toolbars, click on it (if not, right-click, choose Borders and

Shading), hover among the Theme/Standard/More colors and click on a color of your choice. Do the same on the first row, and the second row to the second to the last row of the Average column.
