We have to submit a project as part of our course

evaluation. We will perhaps take a chart paper

and design the project, write a report and submit

it to our teacher. That’s the way we have done it

all along? Have we ever thought of typing the entire

project report using a computer and submitting it

in a nicely designed printed form? Ever reflected

on getting information from the Internet and

presenting it neatly for the project? Now that’s

the way things are being done! And if we are already

thinking of it, it’s time to discover some document

creation software, i.e., word processing tool to get

the job done. Not only a project, we can get lots of

other things done through it – writing letters and

applications, making newsletters, designing

posters, and the list goes on and on!

Objectives

Computers are dominating our lives today in

more ways than we know. The power of

computers can however be seen in the word

processing tools.

I like the computer because it keeps giving you

options. What if I do this? You try it, and if you

don't like it you undo it. The original can always

be resurrected. It raises the idea of working on

one painting your whole life, saving it and

working on it again and again.

3.1 WORD PROCESSING

Word processing is the ability to create documents using a word

processor. It can also refer to advanced shorthand techniques,

sometimes used in specialised contexts with a specially modified

typewriter. These were primarily aimed at typists, particularly in offices

where other workers sent handwritten notes to be transcribed into

documents for printing which were returned for reviewing. The word

processing operators achieved considerable time saving largely due to:

• the faster typing speeds achieved as a result of electronic keyboards

• the assistance of the word processing software for functions like

layout and spell check, etc.
