Word Processing using a Word Processor


WORD PROCESSOR
• A word processor is a software program capable of creating, storing,
and printing typed documents.
• Word processors can create multiple types of files, including text
files (.txt), rich text files (.rtf), HTML files (.htm & .html), and Word files
(.doc & .docx). Some word processors can also be used to create XML
files (.xml).
• Word processing describes creating or editing a document using
a word processor, such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or OpenOffice
Writer.

For example:
A student could create a book report in a
Word Processor application. Then, the student
could print it, save it to a disk, display it on the screen,
or send it over e-mail.
Annual
A person looking for a job could create a résumé using Report
a word processor, then e-mail or print and mail it to job Supply
recruiters. List

Creating and Opening Documents


Word files are called documents. Whenever you start a new project in Word, you'll need to create
a new document, which can either be blank or from a template. You'll also need to know how
to open an existing document.

To create a new blank document:


When beginning a new project in Word, you'll often want to start with a new blank document.
1. Select the File tab. Backstage view will appear.

2. Select New, then click Blank document.

3. A new blank document will appear.

To open an existing document:


In addition to creating new documents, you'll often need to open a document that was
previously saved.
1. Navigate to Backstage view, then click Open.

5
IT111 – INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING

2. Select Computer, then click Browse. Alternatively, you can choose OneDrive (previously known
as SkyDrive) to open files stored on your OneDrive.

3. The Open dialog box appears. Locate and select your document, then click Open.

If you've opened the desired presentation recently, you can browse your Recent
Documents rather than search for the file.

Saving Documents

Save and Save As


Word offers two ways to save a file: Save and Save As. These options work in similar ways, with a
few important differences:
• Save: When you create or edit a document, you'll use the Save command to save your
changes. You'll use this command most of the time. When you save a file, you'll only need
to choose a file name and location the first time. After that, you can click the Save
command to save it with the same name and location.
• Save As: You'll use this command to create a copy of a document while keeping the
original. When you use Save As, you'll need to choose a different name and/or location for
the copied version.

To save a document:
It's important to save your document whenever you start a new project or make changes
to an existing one. Saving early and often can prevent your work from being lost. You'll also
need to pay close attention to where you save the document so it will be easy to find later.
1. Locate and select the Save command on the Quick Access toolbar.

2. If you're saving the file for the first time, the Save As pane will appear in Backstage view.
3. You'll then need to choose where to save the file and give it a file name. To save the document
to your computer, select Computer, then click Browse. Alternatively, you can click OneDrive to
save the file to your OneDrive.

4. The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you want to save the document.
5. Enter a file name for the document, then click Save.
6. The document will be saved. You can click the Save command again to save your changes as
you modify the document.

You can also access the Save command by pressing Ctrl+S on your keyboard.

IT111 – INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING
CAGAYAN STATE UNIVERSITY-APARRI
COLLEGE OF INFORMATION AND COMPUTING SCIENCES

Using Save As to make a copy


If you want to save a different version of a document while keeping the original, you can create
a copy. For example, if you have a file named Sales Report, you could save it as Sales Report 2 so
you'll be able to edit the new file and still refer back to the original version.
To do this, you'll click the Save As command in Backstage view. Just like when saving a file for the
first time, you'll need to choose where to save the file and give it a new file name.

By default, Word autosaves every 10 minutes. If you are editing a document for less than 10
minutes, Word may not create an autosaved version.
If you don't see the file you need, you can browse all autosaved files from Backstage view. Select
the File tab, click Manage Versions, then choose Recover Unsaved Documents.

Page Layout

Page orientation
Word offers two-page orientation options: landscape and portrait. Landscape means the page is
oriented horizontally, while portrait means the page is oriented vertically. Compare our example
below to see how orientation can affect the appearance and spacing of text and images.

Page margins
A margin is the space between the text and the edge of your document. By default, a new
document's margins are set to Normal, which means it has a one-inch space between the text
and each edge. Depending on your needs, Word allows you to change your document's margin
size.

To format page margins:


Word has a variety of predefined margin sizes to choose from.
1. Select the Page Layout tab, then click the Margins command.

Formatting Text
Formatted text can draw the reader's attention to specific parts of a document and emphasize
important information. In Word, you have several options for adjusting the font of your text,
including size, color, and inserting special symbols. You can also adjust the alignment of the text
to change how it is displayed on the page.

merge. The following example demonstrates how to create a form letter and merge the letter with
a recipient list.

Step 1:
Choose the type of document you want to create. In our example, we'll select Letters. Then click
Next: Starting document to move to Step 2.

Step 2:
Select Use the current document, then click Next: Select recipients to move to Step 3.

Step 3:
Now you'll need an address list so Word can automatically place each address into the
document. The list can be in an existing file, such as an Excel workbook, or you can type a new
address list from within the Mail Merge Wizard.
From the Mail Merge task pane, select Use an existing list, then click Browse... to select the file.

28

From the Mail Merge task pane, click Next: Write your letter to move to Step 4.

If you don't have an existing address list, you can click the Type a new list button and click Create.
You can then type your address list.
Step 4:
Now you're ready to write your letter. When it's printed, each copy of the letter will basically be
the same; only the recipient data (such as the name and address) will be different. You'll need to
add placeholders for the recipient data so Mail Merge knows exactly where to add the data.
To insert recipient data:
Place the insertion point in the document where you want the information to appear.

30
IT111 – INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING

example, we'll add a Greeting line.

When you're done, click Next: Preview your letters to move to Step 5.
For some letters, you'll only need to add an Address block and Greeting line. Sometimes, however,
you may want to place recipient data within the body of the letter to personalize it even further.

Step 5:
Preview the letters to make sure the information from the recipient list appears correctly in the
letter. You can use the left and right scroll arrows to view each document.
