What is word processor?
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 VS type writer
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
hardcopy.
Features of MS Word.
1. Using word you can create the document and edit them later, as and when required, by adding
more text, modifying the existing text, deleting/moving some part of it.
2. Changing the size of the margins can reformat complete document or part of text.
3. Font size and type of fonts can also be changed. Page numbers and Header and Footer can be
included.
4. Spelling can be checked and correction can be made automatically in the entire document. Word
count and other statistics can be generated.
2
5. Text can be formatted in columnar style as we see in the newspaper. Text boxes can be made.
6. Tables can be made and included in the text.
7. Word also allows the user to mix the graphical pictures with the text. Graphical pictures can either
be created in word itself or can be imported from outside like from Clip Art Gallery.
8. Word also provides the mail-merge facility.
9. Word also has the facility of macros. Macros can be either attached to some function/special keys
or to a tool bar or to a menu.
10. It also provides online help of any option.
Title Bar
The title bar displays the name of the currently active word document. Like other WINDOWS
applications, it can be used to alter the size and location of the word window.
Tool Bars
Word has a number of tool bars that help you perform task faster and with great ease. Two of the most
commonly tool bars are the formatting tool bar and the standard tool bar. These two toolbars are displayed
just below the title bar. At any point of time any tool bar can be made ON or OFF through the tool bar
option of View Menu.
Ruler Bar
The Ruler Bar allows you to format the vertical alignment of text in a document.
Status Bar
The Status Bar displays information about the currently active document. This includes the page number
that you are working, the column and line number of the cursor position and so on.
Scroll Bar
The Scroll Bar helps you scroll the content or body of document. You can do so by moving the elevator
button along the scroll bar, or by click in on the buttons with the arrow marked on them to move up and
down and left and right of a page.
Workspace
The Workspace is the area in the document window were you enter/type the text of your document.
Main Menu
The Word main menu is displayed at the top of the screen. The main menu further displays a sub menu.
Some of the options are highlighted options and some of them appear as faded options. At any time, only
highlighted options can be executed, faded options are not applicable. Infect if the option is faded you will
not be able to choose it. You may not that any option faded under present situation may become
highlighted under different situations.
Menus
When you begin to explore Word 2007 you will notice a new look to the menu bar. You should remember
three features as you work within Word 2007:
1. The Microsoft Office Button
2. The Quick Access Toolbar
3. The Ribbon
These three features contain many of the functions that were in the menu of previous versions of Word.
Clear Formatting
To clear text formatting:
Select the text you wish to clear the formatting
Click the Styles dialogue box on the Styles Group on the Home Tab
Click Clear All
Formatting Paragraphs
Formatting paragraphs allows you to change the look of the overall document. You can access many of
the tools of paragraph formatting by clicking the Page Layout Tab of the Ribbon or the Paragraph Group
on the Home Tab of the Ribbon.
Change Paragraph Alignment
The paragraph alignment allows you to set how you want text to appear. To change the alignment:
Click the Home Tab
Choose the appropriate button for alignment on the Paragraph Group.
o Align Left: the text is aligned with your left margin
o Center: The text is centered within your margins
o Align Right: Aligns text with the right margin
o Justify: Aligns text to both the left and right margins
Indent Paragraphs
Indenting paragraphs allows you set text within a paragraph at different margins. There are several
options for indenting:
First Line: Controls the left boundary for the first line of a paragraph
Hanging: Controls the left boundary of every line in a paragraph except the first one
Left: Controls the left boundary for every line in a paragraph
Right: Controls the right boundary for every line in a paragraph
Macros
Macros are advanced features that can speed up editing or formatting you may perform often in a Word
document. They record sequences of menu selections that you choose so that a series of actions can be
completed in one-step.
Recording a Macro
To record a Macro:
Click the View Tab on the Ribbon
Click Macros
Click Record Macro
Enter a name (without spaces)
Click whether you want it assigned to a button (on the Quick Access Toolbar) or the keyboard
(a sequence of keys)
To assign the macro a button on the Quick Access Toolbar:
o Click Button
o Under the Customize Quick Access Toolbar, select the document for which you want
the Macro available
Under Choose Commands: Click the Macro that you are recording
Click Add
Click OK to begin Recording the Macro
Perform the actions you want recorded in the Macro
Nested Lists
A nested list is list with several levels of indented text. To create a nested list:
Create your list following the directions above
Click the Increase or Decrease Indent button
Formatting Lists
The bullet image and numbering format can be changed by using the Bullets or Numbering dialog box.
Select the entire list to change all the bullets or numbers, or Place the cursor on one line within
the list to change a single bullet
Right click
Click the arrow next to the bulleted or numbered list and choose a bullet or numbering style
Insert Footnote
Definition: Footnotes and endnotes are used in printed documents to explain, comment on, or provide
references for text in a document. You might use footnotes for detailed comments and endnotes for
citation of sources.
Tab Stops
A tab stop is used in a document to line up columns. When you press the Tab key on the keyboard, the
screen cursor moves to the next tab stop on the line. Tab stops are pre-set in Word for every half inch.
Save As
The Save As function is very useful for making copies of the same document with different names or
saving your document with the same name in different folders. The difference between Save As and Save
is that Save As prompts you for a file name, whereas Save just writes the contents of your screen to the
same file.
Quitting Word
To quit Word, select File/Exit. If you made changes without saving, Word will prompt you to save the
changes.
8
Undo
Word lets you reverse the actions you take. To undo the last thing you did, choose Edit/Undo. To Undo
several actions, click on the Undo list button on the Word toolbar and click as far down the list as you
want to go. All the actions will be undone to that point.
Page Numbers
To add page numbers to your document, select Insert/Page Numbers to open the Page Numbers dialog
box. Be sure Position and Alignment are set the way you want. As soon as you make a change, the effect
can be seen in the Preview area.
Spell Checking
When Word encounters a misspelled word, it puts a red wiggly line underneath it. To see Word's
suggestions for the correct spelling, right click on the word. Select the correct word or select Ignore All to
bypass it. If you use this word a lot and want to add it to the dictionary, click Add. All future occurrences
of the word will be considered correctly spelled.
Thumbnails
A miniature (small) display of a page to be printed. Thumbnails enable you to see the layout of many
pages on the screen at once. Generally, thumbnails are too small to show the actual text, so greeking is
used to indicate how the text will look.

What is a toolbar?
A toolbar is a string of icons in a window that contain icons or text that allow an action to occur when
clicked. Toolbars are most often found on the top of a window but can be on the side or bottom of the
window. Most software contains pre-installed toolbars that appear when the application is opened. They
contain the application's most frequently used commands. Toolbars in Word are customizable and can be
hidden as desired.
Excel
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program for Windows and Macintosh computers. It is part of the
Microsoft Office suite, which includes other productivity programs, such as Word and PowerPoint.
Though Excel is developed by Microsoft, the first version of the program was released for the Macintosh
in 1985. It wasn't until 1987, when Microsoft introduced Windows 3.0, that Excel was made available for
Windows. Since then, Microsoft has supported the program on both platforms, releasing updates about
every two years.
Some other popular spreadsheet programs include IBM Lotus 1-2-3 (for Windows) and the AppleWorks
spreadsheet program (for the Mac). However, Microsoft Excel has led the spreadsheet market for many
years and continues to be the most popular spreadsheet program for both businesses and consumers.
10
Spreadsheet
A spreadsheet is a document that stores data in a grid of horizontal rows and vertical columns. Rows are
typically labeled using numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.), while columns are labeled with letters (A, B, C, etc).
Individual row/column locations, such as C3 or B12, are referred to as cells. Each cell can store a unique
instance of data. By entering data into a spreadsheet, information can be stored in a more structured way
than using plain text The row/column structure also allows the data to be analyzed using formulas and
calculations.
The most commonly used spreadsheet application is Microsoft Excel, but several other spreadsheet
programs are available including IBM Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows and AppleWorks and Numbers for Mac
OS X.
Workbooks In Microsoft Excel, a workbook is the file in which you work and store your data. Because
each workbook can contain many sheets, you can organize various kinds of related information in a single
file.
Function
Definition: A function is a preset formula in Excel.
Like formulas, functions begin with the equal sign ( = ) followed by the function's name and its
arguments. The function name tells Excel what calculation to perform. The arguments are contained
inside round brackets.
For example, the most used function in Excel is the SUM function, which is used to add together the data
in selected cells. The SUM function is written as = SUM ( D1 : D6 )
Here the function adds the contents of cell range D1 to D6 and displays the answer in cell D7.
Definition of Cell:
In any spreadsheet program such as Excel, each rectangular box in a worksheet is referred to as a cell.
A cell is the intersection point of a vertical column and a horizontal row.
Data entered into Excel is always stored in a cell. Each cell can hold only one piece of data at a time.
In the newest versions of Excel there are over 17 billion cells in each worksheet.
To keep track of where data is stored, each cell has a cell reference consisting of the column letter and
row number of where the cell is located.
Clipboard
The clipboard is a temporary storage area in a computer's memory for data that the user wants to move or
copy from one location to another.
Column
Definition: Columns are a fundamental part of any spreadsheet program such as Excel and Google
Spreadsheets. Columns run vertically in a worksheet.
Each column is identified by a letter in the column header starting with Column A and running through to
Column XFD.
The intersection point between a column and a row is a cell.
Cells are the basic storage unit for data in a spreadsheet program.
Columns are used as part of a cell reference which identifies the location of data such as A1, B23, or
AA456.
In a cell reference the column letter always comes first.
Cell Reference
Definition:
In Excel, a cell reference identifies the location a cell or group of cells in the worksheet.
Sometimes referred to as a cell address, a cell reference consists of the column letter and row number that
intersect at the cell's location.
Note: When listing a cell reference, the column letter is always listed first - such as A1 or W345.
Cell references are used in formulas, functions, charts, and other Excel commands.
While references usually refer to individual cells - such as A1, they can also refer to a group or range of
cells
Absolute cell reference
Definition: In Excel (spreadsheets), an absolute cell reference, like other cell references, identifies the
location a cell or group of cells and are used in such things as formulas, functions, and charts. An absolute
cell reference consists of the column letter and row number used in a regular cell reference but both letter
and number are preceded by dollar signs ( $ ).
Examples of absolute cell references would be $C$4, $G$15, or $A$345.
11
Formula
Definition: Formulas in spreadsheet programs such as Excel are used to perform calculations on values
entered and stored in the program.
Formulas can range from basic mathematical operations - such as addition and subtraction - to complex
engineering and statistical calculations.
Formulas are great for working out “What if” scenarios that compare calculations based on changing data.
Once the formula is entered, you need only change the amounts to be calculated. You don’t have to keep
entering “plus this" or “minus that” like you do with a regular calculator.
Macro
Definition: An Excel macro is a set of instructions that can be triggered by a keyboard shortcut, toolbar
button or an icon in a spreadsheet. Macros are used to eliminate the need to repeat the steps of common
tasks over and over.
Workbook
Definition: A workbook is a spreadsheet file. By default, each workbook in Excel contains three pages or
worksheets.
The term spreadsheet is often used to refer to a workbook, when in actual fact, spreadsheet refers to the
computer program, such as Excel.
So, strictly speaking, when you open the Excel spreadsheet program it loads an empty workbook file
consisting of three blank worksheets for you to use.
Worksheet
Definition: A worksheet or sheet is a single page in a file created with an electronic spreadsheet program
such as Excel. A worksheet is used to store, manipulate, and display data.
Each worksheet is composed of a very large number cells - which are the basic storage unit for data in a
spreadsheet file.
The cells are arranged in a grid pattern using rows and columns. In Excel 2007 and above there are 16384
Row and 1048576 columns.
SUM
Adds all the numbers in a range of cells.
Syntax
SUM(number1,number2, ...)
Number1, number2, ... are 1 to 30 arguments for which you want the total value or sum.
Numbers, logical values, and text representations of numbers that you type directly into the list of
arguments are counted.
If an argument is an array or reference, only numbers in that array or reference are counted. Empty
cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored.
Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers cause errors.
Examples
=SUM(3, 2) equals 5 or =sum(a1: a20)
SUMIF( )
Adds the cells specified by a given criteria.
Syntax
SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range)
Range is the range of cells that you want evaluated by criteria. Cells in each range must be numbers or
names, arrays, or references that contain numbers. Blank and text values are ignored.
Criteria is the criteria in the form of a number, expression, or text that defines which cells will be added.
For example, criteria can be expressed as 32, "32", ">32", or "apples".
12
Sum_range are the actual cells to add if their corresponding cells in range match criteria. If sum_range is
omitted, the cells in range are both evaluated by criteria and added if they match criteria.
Example
A B
1 Property Commision
Valve
2 100000 7000
3 200000 14000
4 300000 21000
5 400000 28000
PRODUCT( )
Multiplies all the numbers given as arguments and returns the product.
Syntax
PRODUCT(number1,number2,...)
Number1, number2, ... are 1 to 255 numbers that you want to multiply.
Example
A
1 Data
2 5
3 15
4 30
Formula Description Result
=PRODUCT(A2:A4) Multiplies the above numbers and returns (2250)
=sumif(A2:A4,2) Multiplies the above numbers and 2 and returns (4500)
AVERAGE
Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of the arguments.
Syntax
AVERAGE(number1,number2, ...)
Number1, number2, ... are 1 to 30 numeric arguments for which you want the average.
Remarks
The arguments must be either numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.
If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are
ignored; however, cells with the value zero are included.
Examples
If A1:A5 is named Scores and contains the numbers 10, 7, 9, 27, and 2, then:
=AVERAGE(A1:A5) equals 11
=AVERAGE(Scores) equals 11
COUNT
Counts the number of cells that contain numbers and numbers within the list of arguments. Use COUNT
to get the number of entries in a number field in a range or array of numbers.
Syntax
COUNT(value1,value2, ...)
Value1, value2, ... are 1 to 30 arguments that can contain or refer to a variety of different types of data,
but only numbers are counted.
Arguments that are numbers, dates, or text representations of numbers are counted; arguments that
are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers are ignored.
If an argument is an array or reference, only numbers in that array or reference are counted. Empty
cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored. If you need to count
logical values, text, or error values, use the COUNTA function.
Example
If A1:A5 is named Scores and contains the numbers 10, 7, 9, 27, and 2, then:
COUNT(A1:A5) equals 5
13
COUNT(A4:A5) equals 2
COUNTA
Counts the number of cells that are not empty and the values within the list of arguments. Use COUNTA
to count the number of cells that contain data in a range or array.
Syntax
COUNTA(value1,value2, ...)
Value1, value2, ... are 1 to 30 arguments representing the values you want to count. In this case, a value
is any type of information, including empty text ("") but not including empty cells. If an argument is an
array or reference, empty cells within the array or reference are ignored. If you do not need to count
logical values, text, or error values, use the COUNT function.
Examples
In the following example,
If A1:A7 is named Sale and contains the numbers 10, 7, 9, 27, and 2, then:
COUNTA(A1:A7) equals 7
MAX
Returns the largest value in a set of values.
Syntax
MAX(number1,number2,...)
Number1,number2,... are 1 to 30 numbers for which you want to find the maximum value.
You can specify arguments that are numbers, empty cells, logical values, or text representations of
numbers. Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers cause
errors.
If an argument is an array or reference, only numbers in that array or reference are used. Empty
cells, logical values, or text in the array or reference are ignored. If logical values and text must
not be ignored, use MAXA instead.
If the arguments contain no numbers, MAX returns 0 (zero).
Examples
If A1:A5 contains the numbers 10, 7, 9, 27, and 2, then:
MAX(A1:A5) equals 27
MAX(A1:A5,30) equals 30
MIN
Returns the smallest number in a set of values.
Syntax
MIN(number1,number2, ...)
Number1, number2,... are 1 to 30 numbers for which you want to find the minimum value.
You can specify arguments that are numbers, empty cells, logical values, or text representations of
numbers. Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers cause
errors.
If an argument is an array or reference, only numbers in that array or reference are used. Empty
cells, logical values, or text in the array or reference are ignored. If logical values and text should
not be ignored, use MINA instead.
If the arguments contain no numbers, MIN returns 0.
Examples
If A1:A5 contains the numbers 10, 7, 9, 27, and 2, then:
MIN(A1:A5) equals 2
MIN(A1:A5, 0) equals 0
UPPER
Converts text to uppercase.
Syntax
UPPER(text)
Text is the text you want converted to uppercase. Text can be a reference or text string.
Examples
UPPER("total") equals "TOTAL"
If E5 contains "yield", then:
UPPER(E5) equals "YIELD
LOWER
Converts all uppercase letters in a text string to lowercase.
Syntax
LOWER(text)
14
Text is the text you want to convert to lowercase. LOWER does not change characters in text that are not
letters.
Examples
LOWER("E. E. Cummings") equals "e. e. cummings"
LOWER("Apt. 2B") equals "apt. 2b"
PROPER
Capitalizes the first letter in a text string and any other letters in text that follow any character other than a
letter. Converts all other letters to lowercase letters.
Syntax
PROPER(text)
Text is text enclosed in quotation marks, a formula that returns text, or a reference to a cell containing
the text you want to partially capitalize.
Examples
PROPER("this is a TITLE") equals "This Is A Title"
PROPER("2-cent's worth") equals "2-Cent'S Worth"
PROPER("76BudGet") equals "76Budget
IF( ) function
Returns one value if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE and another value if it evaluates to
FALSE.
Use IF to conduct conditional tests on values and formulas.
Syntax
IF(logical_test,value_if_true,value_if_false)
Example: Suppose percentage marks in cell K2 is 44% and we want to assign division to the student
based on percentage marks.
=if(k2>=60,”First”,if(k2>=45,”Second”,if(k2>=33,”Third”,”Fail”)))
It will return “Third” as percentage marks is less than 45 and greater than 33.
CONCATENATE
Joins two or more text strings into one text string.
Syntax
CONCATENATE (text1,text2,...)
Text1, text2, ... are 2 to 255 text items to be joined into a single text item. The text items can be text
strings, numbers, or single-cell references.
Remarks
You can also use the ampersand (&) calculation operator instead of the CONCATENATE function to join
text items. For example, =A1&B1 returns the same value as =CONCATENATE(A1,B1).
Example
Suppose we the following values in different cells.
A B C
1 First Last Full Name
Name Name
2 Ali Khan Ali Khan
In cell b2 write the following function.
=concatenate(a2,” “,b2)
Power Point
Microsoft PowerPoint definition
Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful presentation software developed by Microsoft. It is a standard
component of the company's Microsoft Office suite software, and is bundled together with Word, Excel
and other office productivity tools. The program uses slides to convey information rich in multimedia.
The term slide refers to the old slide projector, which this software effectively replaces.
What is a slide
A slide is a single page of a presentation created with software such as PowerPoint or OpenOffice
Impress. A presentation is composed of several slides. The best presentations use approximately ten to
twelve slides to get the message across.
What is a Slide Transition?
Slide transitions are the visual movements as one slide changes to another. Many different slide
transitions are available in programs such as PowerPoint.
What is an Animation?
In PowerPoint animations are visual effects applied to individual items on the slide such as graphics, titles
or bullet points. Animations are different than transitions, which are the movements of the whole slide.
15
The default design template when you first start a PowerPoint presentation, is a plain, white slide. This
plain, white slide and the font choices used on it were created in the slide master. All slides in a
presentation are created using the fonts, colors and graphics in the slide master, with the exception of the
Title slide (which uses the title master). Each new slide that you create takes on these aspects.
The PowerPoint Viewer is a small add-in program from Microsoft. It allows for a PowerPoint
presentation to be played on any computer, even those that do not have PowerPoint installed. It can run as
a separate program on your computer and can be added to the list of files when you choose to package
your presentation to a CD.
Master Slide
A slide master is the top slide in a hierarchy of slides that stores information about the theme and slide
layouts of a presentation, including the background, color, fonts, effects, placeholder sizes, and
positioning.
Every presentation contains at least one slide master. The key benefit to modifying and using slide
masters is that you can make universal style changes to every slide in your presentation, including ones
added later to the presentation. When you use a slide master, you save time because you don't have to type
the same information on more than one slide. The slide master especially comes in handy when you have
extremely long presentations with lots of slides.
Create or customize a slide master
1. Open a blank presentation, and then, on the View tab, in the Master Views group, click Slide Master.
2. When you open Slide Master view, a blank slide master with the default, associated layouts appears.
3. To create a layout, or to customize an existing layout, see Create a slide layout that meets your needs.
4. To add or modify placeholders in your layouts, see Add one or more content placeholders to a
layout or Change or delete a placeholder.
5. To remove any of the built-in slide layouts that accompany the default slide master, in the slide thumbnail pane,
right-click each slide layout that you want to delete, and then click Delete Layout on the shortcut menu.
6. To apply a design or theme-based colors, fonts, effects and backgrounds, see Apply a theme
to add color and style to your presentation or Apply multiple themes to a presentation.
7. To set the page orientation for all of the slides in your presentation, on the Slide Master tab, in
the Page Setup group, click Slide Orientation, and then click either Portrait or Landscape.
8. On the File tab, click Save As.
9. In the File name box, type a file name.
10. In the Save as type list, click PowerPoint Template, and then click Save.
11. On the Slide Master tab, in the Close group, click Close Master View.
Rename a slide master
1. On the View tab, in the Master Views group, click Slide Master.
2. In the slide thumbnails on the left, click the slide master that you want to rename.
3. On the Slide Master tab, in the Edit Master group, click Rename.
4. In the Rename Master dialog box, in the Master name box, type a new name, and then click Rename,
Add Slide Numbers to PowerPoint Slides
Slide numbers can be useful in your PowerPoint presentation as a reference guide for you as the presenter,
and also for printout purposes. When you choose to insert slide numbers, PowerPoint will automatically
add numbers to each slide in your presentation. Added bonus -- if you rearrange the order of the slides,
the slide numbers will update accordingly.
Steps
1. Select View > Header and Footer...
The option to number your slides is found in the Header and Footer dialog box.
2. Select options in the Header and Footer dialog box, such as adding a date and time to the presentation
and whether you want slide numbers to show on each slide. Most presentations do not show a slide
number on the title slide, so you may want to check the option "Don't show on title slide".
3. Choose "Apply" or "Apply to All"
4. Slide numbers will now appear in the bottom right corner of the slide(s).
