2.5 FORMATTING THE TEXT
2.5.1 Changing the Font
A font is the style, or typeface, of the text. Some of the most common fonts are Calibri, Times New Roman, and
Arial. The default font of Word 2016 is Calibri.
Font sizes are measured in points. Point size is the vertical measurement of a character. One inch equals 72 points.
The most common point sizes are 10 and 12 point. This handout is written in 11 pt. Arial.

From here, you can Bold (B), Italicize (I), or Underline (U) your text. You can also change the point size and the
font style. First highlight the text, then select the command.
NOTE: If you decide to type in 16 point and Times New Roman font at the beginning of your document, this
decision will remain as you continue to type (provided you don’t change these settings).
2.5.2 Alignment of Text
Configure alignment
The alignment settings control the horizontal position of the paragraph text between the page margins. There are
four alignment options:
• Align Left: This is the default paragraph alignment. It sets the left end of each line of the paragraph at the
left page margin or left indent. It results in a straight left edge and a ragged right edge.
• Align Right: This sets the right end of each line of the paragraph at the right page margin or right indent. It
results in a straight right edge and a ragged left edge.
• Center: This centers each line of the paragraph between the left and right page margins or indents. It results
in ragged left and right edges.
• Justify: This alignment adjusts the spacing between words so that the left end of each line of the paragraph is
at the left page margin or indent and the right end of each line of the paragraph (other than the last line) is at
the right margin or indent. It results in straight left and right edges.
2.5.3 Paragraph Indenting
To open the Paragraph dialog box
1. Do either of the following:
● On the Home tab or the Layout tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Paragraph dialog box launcher.
● On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Line and Paragraph Spacing button, and then click Line
Spacing Options.
To set paragraph alignment
1. Position the cursor anywhere in the paragraph, or select all the paragraphs you want to adjust.
2. Do either of the following:
● On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Align Left, Center, Align Right, or Justify button.
● Open the Paragraph dialog box. On the Indents and Spacing tab, in the General area, click Left, Centered, Right,
or Justified in the Alignment list.
A document created from a template, like the one you opened earlier (Facet design blank), has predesigned styles
for different parts of the document, such as paragraphs and headers.

To apply a different paragraph style:


1. Select paragraphs under “How To Use This Template”.
2. Click “More” button in Styles Group.
3. Click “Emphasis” command.
The text remains selected. You may continue modifying, including Undo, if you wish. To de-select, press left
arrow (cursor placed at beginning of text), right arrow (cursor placed at end of text) or click in an area outside the
selection.
2.5.4 To create a bulleted list:

1. Click “Bullets” command in Paragraph Group.


2. Type “Clipboard”.
3. Press “Enter” once.
4. Re-create list pictured to the right (Repeat step 2 & 3 for each word).
5. After last item in your list, press “Enter” twice.
Bullets are good for general lists of items. A numbered list is good for steps in a procedure or order. The steps to

make a numbered list are the same, except the icon for numbering is
TIP: For style or space, explore decreasing indent space for lists. Bullets or numbers automatically indent to set
lists apart from regular text. But if you like the style of left margin alignment, the bullets or numbers set the list
apart from the text sufficiently.

2.5.5 Change Case


Notice Word automatically capitalized the first word in the sentence. If you want each word capitalized, as a title
or header normally is, you may do it word by word or simply use Change Case.
To use Change Case command:
1. Select “How to use this template”.
2. Click “Change Case” command.
3. Click “Capitalize Each Word” in menu.
TIP: A general rule to make changes to text is first select the text and then click the command button of your
choice. You may change font size or style before you start typing, too. Look in the Font Group to see the font and
size that will appear when you begin to type.
2.6 TABLE MANIPULATION
A table, such as the one shown in Figure below, is an arrangement of data made up of horizontal rows and vertical
columns. Cells are the rectangles that are formed when rows and columns intersect. Tables are ideal for organizing
information in an orderly manner. Calendars, invoices, and contact lists are all examples of how tables are used
every day. Word provides several options for creating tables, including the dragging method, the Insert Table
dialog box, table drawing tools, and the Quick Table method.
Insert a Table by Dragging

1. On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click the Table button. The Insert Table menu appears.
2. Point to the cell in the fifth column, second row. The menu title should read 5x2 Table, as shown in Figure 6-2.
Click the mouse button to create the table. Once the table is inserted in the document, you are ready to begin
entering text. Later in this lesson, you enter data into the table.
3. Click below the table and press Enter twice to insert blank lines. When you insert more than one table in a
document, you should separate them with a blank line to avoid joining the tables.
2.6.1 Draw a Table
1. If your ruler is not displayed, on the View tab, in the Show group, select the Ruler checkbox.
2. Make sure your insertion point is at the bottom of the document; then use the scroll bar to scroll down, so the
insertion point is at the top of the screen.
3. On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click the Table button to open the Insert Table menu.
4. On the menu, just below the rows and columns, select Draw Table. The pointer becomes a pencil tool.
5. To begin drawing the table shown in Figure 6-3, click at the blinking insertion point and drag down and to the
right until you draw a rectangle that is approximately 3 inches high and 6 inches wide. Notice that the Table
Tools contextual Design and Layout tabs automatically appears with the Layout tab active.
6. Starting at about 1 inch down from the top border, click and drag the pencil from the left border to the right
border to draw a horizontal line. Use your ruler as your guide.
7. Draw two more horizontal lines below the first one, about 0.5 inches apart.
8. Starting at about 1 inch from the left border, click and drag the pencil from the top of the table to the bottom of
the table to create a column.
9. Move over about 1 inch to the right and draw a line from the top of the table to the bottom.
10.Draw three more vertical lines to the right of the others, about 1 inch apart, from the top to the bottom of the
table, to create a total of six columns. Click the Draw Table button in the Draw group of the Table Tools -
Layout tab to turn the pencil tool off.
11.Click below the table and press Enter twice to create blank lines. If necessary, place your insertion point
outside the last cell, and then press Enter.
Take Note: If you draw a line in the wrong position, click the Eraser button in the Draw group of the Table Tools
- Layout tab and begin again.

MANAGING TABLES
As with any document that you edit, some adjustments are always necessary when you work with tables. After you
create a table, you can resize and move its columns; insert columns and rows; change the alignment or direction of
its text; set a header row to repeat on several pages; organize data by sorting the text, number, or date; convert text
and tables; merge and split cells; add formulas in a table; and work with the table’s properties.

Use AutoFit

1. On the Table Tools - Layout tab, in the Table group, click the View Gridlines button to hide the gridlines, if
necessary.
2. Click the View Gridlines button again to display gridlines and enable more precise editing.

11.Click in any cell to remove the selection.
2.6.3 Sorting a Table’s Contents
To sort data means to arrange it alphabetically, numerically, or chronologically. Sorting displays data in order so
that users can locate it more quickly. You can sort text, numbers, or dates in ascending or descending order.
Ascending order sorts text from beginning to end, such as from A to Z, 1 to 10, or January to December.
Descending order sorts text from the end to the beginning, such as from Z to A, 10 to 1, or December to January.
In this exercise, you practice sorting data in a Word table using the Sort dialog box, which you access through the
Sort command on the Table Tools - Layout tab in the Data group.

3.0 INTRODUCTION TO INTERNET, WWW AND WEB BROWSERS

What is Network?

A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs),
exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be linked through cables,
telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams.
What is Internet?

The Internet, sometimes called simply “the Net,” is a worldwide system of computer networks – a network of
networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other
computer. It was conceived by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969
and was first known as the ARPAnet.

Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds of millions of people
worldwide.

3.1 Objectives
After Completing this lesson, you will be able to:

• Understand the communication, network and internet


• Know the different type of Networks.
• Become familiar with Network terminology.
• Describe the global network like internet
• How to use the internet
• Know about different protocols and terms used in Internet.
• Services available on internet
• How useful E-mail services are
• E-mail clients and Browsers
3.2.1 Local Area Network (LAN)
LAN is a computer network that spans over a small area. It connects computers and workstations to share data and
resources such as printers or faxes. LAN is used to small area such as home, office or college.
Size:
As mentioned above, LANs are restricted in size and usually spread across a range of 1 km.

Transmission Technology:
It refers to the technology by which data from source is transmitted to the destination. These days varies from 10
Mbps to 1000 Mbps (1 Giga Bits per second) or even more.

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networks)

Wireless Local Area Networks are much like LAN networks, except they do not require network cables to connect
each other.

3.2.2 Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN)

Metropolitan Area Network is a network system that covers area of a single city. MAN connects more than one
LANs in a city or town and covers a smaller geographical area than a WAN.
3.2.2 Wide Area Networks (WAN)

WAN covers a wide geographical area which includes multiple computers or LANs. It connects computers through
public networks, like telephone system, satellite link or leased line.
3.3 Internet
Internet is the world’s largest computer network and is described as a network of networks. One of the greatest
things about the Internet is that nobody really owns it. It is a global collection of networks, both big and small.
These networks connect in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. The term
“The Internet” was first used in 1982 and Network uses TCP/IP protocols.
The Internet is an example of a network that connects many WANs, MANs, and LANs into the world’s largest
global network.

3.3.1 Concept of Internet


ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agency Networks), the originator of Internet emerged in 1957 from the
U.S. Department of Defense. Although nobody owns the Internet, but it is monitored and maintained indifferent
ways.

The Internet is a global collection of computer networks that are linked together by devices called routers and use
a common set of protocols for data transmission known as TCP/IP (transmission control protocol / Internet
protocol). The primary purpose of the Internet is to facilitate the sharing of information.
5.3.2 Basic of Internet Architecture
The internet architecture can be broadly classified into three layers. The very first layer consists of Internet
Backbones and very high-speed network lines. The National Science Foundation (NSF) created the first high-speed
backbone in 1987 called NSFNET, it was a T1 line that connected 170 smaller networks together and operated at
1.544 Mbps (million bits per second). IBM, MCI and Merit worked with NSF to create the backbone and
developed a T3 (45Mbps) backbone the following year. Backbones are typically fiber optic trunk lines. The trunk
line has multiple fiber optic cables combined to increase the capacity. Fiber optic cables are designated OC-48 can
transmit 2,488 Mbps (2.488 Gbps). The nodes are known as Network Access Point (NAPs). The second layer is
usually known as Internet Service Provider (ISP). The ISPs are connected to the Backbones at NAP’s with high
speed lines.
The end users which are part of third layer are connected to ISPs by dial up or leased lines and modems. The speed
of communication is usually 1400 bps to 2048 kbps.

3.3.2 Service on Internet


• WWW (World Wide Web)
• Electronic Mail (E-mail)
• News Groups
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
• IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
• Voice / Video Communication – Skype
• Social networks
• Search Engines
• Web-Hosting (DATA CENTER)

Types of Internet Services


• World Wide Web:
WWW is a graphical hypertext way of using the Internet using the HTTP protocol for transmitting Web pages and
other information over the Internet. Web pages are written in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) language and
recognizes them for this purpose designed browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, etc.).

• Telnet

The Telnet ‘Terminal Emulation’ software support, which to communicate with a computer connected via a
TCP / IP stack.

• Electronic Mail

E-mail is use to deliver, text, image, audio or video recording from one computer to another.

• FTP – File Transfer Protocol

Before the World Wide Web and FTP was the only way to transfer large files between computers of Internet users.

• Chat

This service allows the Internet to one or more of Internet users who are hooked to the same channel at the same
time see the text that you type on your computer, and the texts of other active users typing on his computer.
• Social networks

A dedicated website or other application which enables users to communicate with each other by posting
information, comments, messages, images, etc. that’s called Social Networks.

3.3.3 Communication on Internet


Communication is the most popular use of the Internet. All computer devices (including PCs, laptops and
smartphones) that are connected to the internet. More than one computer connected to the internet, all able
to communicate with each other. Other technologies, including video and audio conferencing and Internet
telephony, are also available on the Internet.

Most of the technologies that are unique to the Internet require communication to be done in text—letters with
some symbols and punctuation.

5.4.3 Internet Services


5.5 Preparing Computer for Internet Access
Requirements to make your computer a part of the internet-

1. Internet connection
2. Modem
3. Telephone line
4. Program which controls the communication of data over the hardware component.

ISPs and examples (Broadband/Dialup/WIFI)


An Internet service provider (ISP) is an organization that provides services for accessing, using, or participating
in the Internet. Internet service providers may be organized in various forms, such as commercial, community-
owned, non-profit, or otherwise privately owned.

Internet services typically provided by ISPs include Internet access, Internet transit, domain name registration, web
hosting etc.

Some of the ISP’s are:


1. VSNL (Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited)
2. MTNL (Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited)
3. Mantra Online
4. Net Cracker
5. Satyam
6. Tata-indicom
7. Airtel
Choosing an Internet service
• Dial-up: Dial-up is generally the slowest type of Internet connection
• DSL: DSL service uses a broadband connection, which makes it much faster than dial-up. DSL connects to the
Internet via phone line but does not require you to have a land line at home.
• 3G and 4G: 3G and 4G service is most commonly used with mobile phones and tablet computers, and it
connects wirelessly through your ISP’s network. If you have a device that’s 3G or 4G enabled, you’ll be able to
use it to access the Internet away from home, even when there is no Wi-Fi connection.
Wireless Network
A home network can be wired (using Ethernet cables) or wireless (using Wi-Fi). It may also be a mixture of the
two, with some devices connecting with Ethernet and others connect using Wireless network.

Internet Access Techniques


Internet Connection and Access Methods

There are several ways of connecting to the Internet. We can divide the methods into two main types-
Fixed and Mobile.
Home Internet
Fixed access is usually much faster and reliable than mobile and is used for connecting homes/offices. The main
Access mechanisms are:
• ADSL over traditional Phone Lines (most common).
• Cable (limited to cable TV areas)
• Fibre broadband – Currently being Rolled out
Mobile Internet
When traveling away from the fixed location mobile access is used. The main access mechanisms are:

• Mobile broadband over 3G Network (common but slow) or 4G


• Public/ Private WIFI-FI (common)

3.4 World Wide Web (WWW)

The World Wide Web (WWW) is combination of all resources and users on the Internet that are using the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It is the most user-friendly service. It allows connecting to any computer
having information. It offers the capability to links with sites. Web Servers are software that run on the Internet
servers and provide information to the Web users and other servers. Internet servers store information on the
Internet. There are Web servers, e-mail servers, FTP servers etc. serving the needs of Internet users all over the
world.

The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.
www and Web Browser

www (World Wide Web)


An information system on the Internet which allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext
links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another.

Browser
A browser is software that is used to access the internet. A browser lets you visit websites and do activities within
them like login, view multimedia, link from one site to another, visit one page from another, print, send and receive
email, among many other activities.

3.5 Web Browsing Software


The browser’s main functionality
The main function of a browser is to present the web resource you choose, by requesting it from the server and
displaying it in the browser window. The resource is usually an HTML document, but may also be a PDF, image,
or some other type of content. The location of the resource is specified by the user using a URI (Uniform Resource
Identifier).

3.5.1 Popular Web Browsing Software


The most common browser software titles on the market are: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla
Firefox, Apple’s Safari, and Opera.
Configuring Web Browser

Email is like sending a letter, only you send the message over the internet and it gets to the other person’s email
account within seconds.

If you have an email address, you can email anyone else who has an email address, including government agencies
and lots of different kinds of businesses.

4.2.1 What is an Electronic Mail


Email, or electronic mail, is a quick way to send and receive messages. And many people even choose to receive
their monthly bills and bank statements electronically, instead of through the mail.

4.2.2 Email Addressing


Email addresses use a standard formula. They are always separated into two parts by the @ symbol.

The first part of the email address usually identifies you in some way. You might have your real name for the first
part of your email address, or you could use a handle or a nickname that your friends and family will recognise.

The second part of an email address usually comes from your webmail provider or the internet service provider you
use.
This gives a standard formula for all email addresses which will look something like
firstname.surname@somewhere.com oryournickname@somewhere.com
