 Computers Have Two Main Parts

1. Computer Hardware

2. Computer Software

1. Computer Hardware: It refers to any physical component of computer.

Hardware is the part of the computer that we can touch and feel. It is made
up of interconnected electronic devices that control the operations of the
computer.

A computer system has the following hardware components:

Motherboard, Input Devices, Output Devices, Storage Devices,

Power Supply, Processor, Memory.

2.Computer Software: It refers to the programs to run the computer. Software
is a group of instructions that tell the hardware what to do. These instructions
are also called ‘programs’.

 Software is a part of the computer you cannot touch.

Ex: Ms Outlook Express, ASP, VB, Java, MS Office etc.
 Types of Software
 System Software
 Application Software and
 Programming software
 System software
 Operating System is the base program on a computer is considered
system software. It tells the computer how to work or operate. The
operating system also allows you to load other programs that do
specialized tasks on to your computer.
 Examples: Windows XP and Vista

 Application software
 Application software allows you to accomplish one or more specific
tasks. Such as computer games for entertainment or Microsoft Word
for typing.
  Examples:

 Programming software
 Programming software provides tools to assist a computer
programmer in writing programs and software.

 Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office is a software suite. This means that there are actually several
individual software programs within Office. And the fact that it is a suite of various
programs, it is generally understood that these programs should "play well
together." They are built by the same software company (Microsoft) and they were
designed to interact with each other in a fairly seamless way.

 Word: Microsoft Word is your word processor. Like a very glorified

typewriter, it allows you to process your words in various ways. But,
although Word is the text-based program, it can also do other things such as
 allow you to insert graphics or photos, create charts and graphs, create tables
and even do some calculations.
 Excel: Excel is your spreadsheet program. This is like having an electronic
version of an accountant's ledger. You can create individual Workbooks that
can contain many individual Worksheets. Within those sheets, you can keep
columns of data in rows of clients or inventory.
 Outlook: Outlook handles your email, but it's much more than just an email
program. Outlook is considered a PIM, Personal Information Management
program.
 PowerPoint: This is a graphical presentation program. Most people use
PowerPoint to create overhead presentations that can be displayed
electronically from their computers. You can also print transparencies or
hand-outs to use with, or instead of, the presentation features. You can also
add animation, movies, music, and sounds to create a multimedia
presentation. Presentations can be set to advance manually or you can use
timing features to make the images change on their own at set intervals.
 Access: Although you can track data in Excel, such as client data...with a
row for each client name and bits of data noted in various columns, like their
address, annual sales, phone numbers, zip codes, and such, if you need to do
more serious database organization, you'll want to use Access.
Introduction to word processing
A word processor is a program that enables you to create, edit and print
documents. Of all computer applications, word processors are the most common.
To perform word processing, you need a computer, the word processing software
and a printer. A word processor enables you to create a document, store it
electronically on a disk, display it on screen, modify it by entering commands and
characters from the keyword and print it on a printer.

The greatest advantage of word processing over using a type writer is the
cases with which you can make changes without retyping the entire document .if
you want to delete a paragraph erase it, without leaving a trace .it is equally easy to
insert a word insert a word, sentence or a paragraph in the middle of a
document .word processors also allow you to move sections of text from one
palace to another within document, or

Between documents .when you have all the changes you want, you can send the
file to a printer to get a hard copy.

Overview of tool bars:

1.Application title bar :This is used to display what type

Of application is opened in the s ystem,Also displays the

File name if it is saved.

2.Menu bar: It gives the total applications of word in a short

form

3.Ribbons:All the applications are placed in frame is called

“ribbons”.

4.Quick access toolbar : This is the special tool bar in ms word2007

Its presenting direct symbols in short form.

Ex: save symbol, open doc symbol..etc

5.Rulers:These are used to restrict the text from where the

Text should be started.

We are having two types of rulers:

1)Horizontal ruler: Restrict the text in the rows

2)Vertical ruler: Restrict the text in the coloumns.

6)Scroll bar: This is used to scroll the page if the page size

Exceeds screen capacity.

We are having two types of scroll bars:

1)Horizontal scroll bar: moves the page towards left to right and

Viswersa.

2)Vertical scroll bar: moves the page down and up.

7 .Status bar:This bar is used to know the status of the application. It

Will gives the page number in which you are currently exist.

 BASIC FEATURES
Word processors vary considerable, but all word processors support the following
basic features:
Insert text: allow you to insert text anywhere in the document.

Delete text: Allows you to erase characters, words, lines or pages easily.

Cut and paste: Cut and paste allows you to remove (cut) a section of text from
one place in a document and insert (paste) it somewhere else. To cut means to
remove an object from a document and place it in a buffer. In word processing for
example cut means to move a section of text from a document to a temporary
buffer. This is one way to delete text. However, because the text is transferred to a
buffer, it is not lost forever. You can copy the buffer somewhere else in the
document or in another document, which is called pasting. To move a section of
text from one place to another, therefore, you need to first cut and then paste it.
This is often called cut and paste.
Copy: Allows you to duplicate a section of the text. When you copy a piece of
data, it is moved to temporary location. In word processing, for example, copying
refers to duplicating a section of document and placing it in a buffer (called a
clipboard).the term copy differs from cut, which refers to actually removing a
section of a document and placing it in a buffer. After cutting or copying, you can
move the contents of the buffer by pasting it elsewhere.

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: this is a feature supported by most word processor which lets
you replace a character string (a series of characters) with another string whenever
the former appears in the document .Most word processors have two searches and
replace modes. In the first mode the word processor automatically makes all the
replacements in the file. In the second mode, the word processor requires you to
approve each replacement. This is safer because you may not want to make the
change everywhere. Search and replace is sometimes called find and replace.

Print: Allows you to send a document to a printer to get hard copy.

Starting Microsoft Word

 Two Ways
1. Double click on the Microsoft Word icon on the desktop.

Word allows all toolbars to be customized, so you may not find all options listed

here. There are several buttons that may or may not appear immediately in your

version of Word. Use the following graphic as a guide to the Formatting Toolbar.

Style: Styles in Word are used to quickly format portions of text. For example,
youcould use the "Normal" or "Default Paragraph Font" for the body text in a
document. There are also three preset styles made for headings.

Font: Font is a simple but important factor in Word documents. The choice of font
(the style of the text itself) can influence the way others view documents, either on
the screen or in print. For example, Arial font looks better on screen, while Times
New Roman is clearer in print. To apply a font to text, select desired text with your
cursor, and choose a font from the font drop down menu.
