The signals
(i.e., data or
information) are
transmitted in the
form of
electromagnetic energy
from one device to
another. These
signals travel through a
vacuum, air, or other
transmission mediums
to
move from one point to
another (from sender
to receiver).
The transmission
medium is of two
types:
(i) Wired or Guided:
For example, Twisted
Pair Cable, Coaxial
Cable, and Optical
Fiber Cable.
(i) Wireless or
Unguided: For
example, Radiowaves,
Microwaves, and
Infrared.

Selecting Text: Highlight text using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Shift +
Arrow Keys).
Editing Text: Add, delete, or rearrange content as needed.
Finding and Replacing Text: Use "Ctrl + F" to find and "Ctrl + H" to replace specific
words or phrases.
3. Printing Documents
Basic Printing: Access the Print option via "File > Print" to select the printer and adjust
settings.
Printing Merged Documents: Utilize the Mail Merge feature to combine templates with
data sources for bulk printing (e.g., letters or labels).
Formatting and Design
Character Formatting: Change font style, size, color, and effects (e.g., bold, italic,

Submission Guidelines
Network software is a
foundational element
for any network. This
type
of software helps
administrators deploy,
manage and monitor a
network.
The traditional
networks are made up
of specialized
hardware, such as
routers and switches,
that bundle the
networking software
into the
solution.
Such types of software
encompasses a broad
range of software used
for the design,
implementation, and
operation, and
monitoring of
computer networks.
Traditional networks
were hardware-based
with
software embedded.
When software like
Defined Networking
(SDN)
emerged, the software
is separated from the
hardware thus making
it
more adaptable to the
ever-changing nature
of the computer
network.
